ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE

State documents show attorney general Bill McCollum hired an anti-gay witness and paid the expert witness double his contract with no questions asked.


BY MARY ELLEN KLAS
Herald/Times Tallahassee Bureau

TALLAHASSEE -- Disgraced psychologist George Rekers was labeled a ``right-wing, religious-based'' expert witness and rejected for months by state attorneys defending Florida's gay adoption ban.

But when they couldn't find anyone else to replace him on the witness stand, Attorney General Bill McCollum overruled his trial attorneys, quickly hired Rekers, and paid him twice his agreed upon contract with no questions asked, according to documents released this week by McCollum's office.

Rekers, a psychiatry professor at the University of South Carolina, has been stripped of his credibility after reports surfaced that he hired a gay male escort to give him nude ``sexual'' massages and accompany him on a recent European vacation.

The adoption ban case, in which the state paid Rekers more than $120,000 to testify on the ``negative effects'' of gay parenting, has been ruled unconstitutional and the state is appealing.

1. I really hope this ass hat doesn't become our next Gov. He is no Crist.
May actuall be worse than Bush because he believes this wing nut shit. AND Alex Sink better start campaigning like she wants the job. She's acting like the lady in MA that just assumed she'd get the job... AND we all know how that turned out.

2. Boy...The Republicans have really got a Pair this time around.
Bill McCollum is a Lunatic and Rick Scott is a Crook.

...and how about those ads where Scott is explaining why his Company stoled so much money?

He doesn't say ANYTHING that makes sense, then he says "And I take full responsibility for my part in the Fraud"

Ah...yeah Rick..it's easy to "take responsibility" when there's no real punishment.

"Well yes Officer, I DID rob that bank but..I take full responsibility for my part in the theft...I'm going home now..have a nice day"

Jeez :)

3. McCollum has The Jebster's endorsement.



That's all any voter needs to know about Little Mac.


The hell with both of them.
