Dems Ask Bill McCollum to Pay Back $120K He Paid to George Rekers
Source: Miami New Times

The dominoes continue to fall after New Times exposed anti-gay activist and "researcher" Geroge Rekers's ten-day trip to Europe with a twinky, young male escort he met through RentBoy.com. The blow back has reached Attorney General Bill McCollum's campaign for governor, and now Florida's Democratic Party is demanding that McCollum pay back the $120,000 worth of taxpayer money his office paid Rekers to testify in a case supporting Florida's gay adoption ban.

2. Tee Hee. The Miami New Times said "blow."
On the one hand, McCollum could hardly have known about Reker's sack hauling, as Colbert termed it. (Tee hee. I said "hardly").

On the other hand, he hired a junk "scientist" and overpaid him, in an attempt to ensure that gay parents could not adopt children in need of homes. So, I have less than no problem with this request.

Embarrass the hell out of this ass's ass.

3. yay!
This is absolutely the right thing to do.

In this country, it seems like the scammer always gets away with the money. They may get caught, they may get a fine, and they may get thrown in the slammer--but the crooks often get to keep the money. Consequently, they just look at the penalties as a cost of doing business.

Make this sleaze repay his ill-gotten gains.

6. They're not asking Rekers to give back the money he got, though.
