Brown County GOP Chair Donald Fleischman is allegedly just like Stewie Griffin, always throwing those sexy parties! Except his are with boys. Underage boys. Who are runaways.
Now mind you, these are all just allegations at this point, and Donald hasn't been convicted of anything. But that never stopped us from passing judgment with O.J., and it won't stop us from passing judgment here.
According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette:
This could all be innocent enough. Perhaps the police were lying. Or perhaps it was just a simple game of strip hide-and-seek that led a teenage boy to hide in a closet in his undergarments.
Now, of course, we'll hear Republican apologists talk about "well, at least we're taking care of our problem. Democrats do this stuff and nobody cares." Well, no. People do care when perverts of all stripes molest kids. And you're not taking care of your problem. Law enforcement is.
And this one's especially painful because it comes in a part of the state that is becoming increasingly competitive from a political standpoint. Brown County is no longer a bastion of conservatism, and this isn't going to endear the GOP to anyone up there.
A couple of friends and I were joking a few weeks ago about whether I should do a post taking bets on who would be the first Republican figure in Wisconsin caught fooling around with kids.
For better or worse, it didn't take long to find a winner.

According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette:
Green Bay police went to Fleischman's Goodell Street home Nov. 19, 2006, looking for two runaways from Ethan House, a juvenile facility on nearby Emilie Street, according to the criminal complaint filed Sept. 7.
Fleischman opened the door and allowed officers inside where they found a 16-year-old boy hiding on the floor of a walk-in closet wearing only underwear and a T-shirt, the complaint said.
Officers found a black, purple and blue-swirled glass pipe in the living room, which tested positive for marijuana residue, the complaint said.
Police returned to Fleischman's home on Dec. 8, 2006, and found the boy there again. He had been a runaway from Ethan House for eight days.
The teen, now 17, told authorities Fleischman took him to a hotel in Appleton during that time and then to a cabin near Florence for several days before returning to Fleischman's Allouez home. The boy said Fleischman provided him with beer and marijuana, the complaint said.
The boy told police that when he would go to bed, Fleischman would fondle him and that on one occasion he awoke to find Fleischman at the foot of his bed masturbating.
Detectives obtained the boy's drug tests from the days around the time he spent with Fleischman, and three samples from late November and early December tested positive for marijuana.

A thousand points…to light one’s bong.
Of course, if past offenders count, you could give the prize to Mark Chmura. He was not yet a politician, but he was being courted by the family-values Republicans to run for office when he got busted for the incident at the graduation party, thus ending his political career before it even began.
god i hate stewie. and that damn show.
