And Now, The Next Float In The GOP Sexual Hypocrite Parade

Glenn Murphy, Jr. is the recently elected chairman of the Young Republican National Federation (also the RNC Chair for Clark County, Indiana and formerly the YRNF Secretary).  When he was elected president of the YRs last month, he told his hometown newspaper, “I will essentially be the mouthpiece and effective leader for the tens of thousands of Young Republicans, 18 to 40, across the country.”

Not sure what he meant by being the "mouthpiece", but maybe it has something to do with performing oral sex on sleeping men.

Allegedly, Murphy and another YR were drunk and crashing at Murphy’s sister’s house. The other man apparently awoke in the morning to find Murphy giving him a non-consensual blow job. The Clark County (Indiana) Sheriff’s Department is charging Murphy with "criminal deviate conduct", a Class B felony.

And guess what? Apparently this isn’t the first time his mouth has ended up on someone’s privates while they were asleep. Glenn Murphy has a prior arrest for sexual battery. Here’s the 1998 Clark County police report.

Immediately following the most recent accusation, Murphy came up with an unrelated reason to resign, and the YRNF cleansed their website of his name.  But you can also check out the Google Cache of the Young Republicans site, which reveals the scrubbing of Murphy from their organization included the removal of recently created YouTube videos.

Usual caveats apply: Innocent until proven guilty, yada yada.

UPDATE:  Wonkette notes:

It is Mr. Murphy’s position, according to his lawyer, that “what occurred, occurred between two consenting adults,” one of whom just happened to be asleep at the time.

When I saw Angels in America, I thought the closeted gay Mormon character was a little too heavy handed, but in retrospect I’ve come to realize that Tony Kushner understood something about the world that I did not.
