Extraordinary how anyone north of the IQ of a carrot will believe 'family values' politicians when they just keep dropping like flies. But, knowing the dipshits in the OC, he may keep his seat. You'd think Robert Citron would have been enough for them.

GOP Lawmaker's Graphic Sex-Bragging Caught On Tape | TPMMuckraker

(video embedded at link)

We've all seen those stories where a careless politician gets a little too candid when speaking into a hot mic. But this one's really in a whole different league.

Michael Duvall is a conservative Republican state representative from Orange County, California. While waiting for the start of a legislative hearing in July, the 54-year-old married father of two and family values champion began describing, for the benefit of a colleague seated next to him, his ongoing affairs with two different women. In very graphic detail.

For instance:
She wears little eye-patch underwear. So, the other day she came here with her underwear, Thursday. And so, we had made love Wednesday--a lot! And so she'll, she's all, 'I am going up and down the stairs, and you're dripping out of me!' So messy!

Duvall's sophomoric braggadocio, of course, was picked up by the microphone in front of him, and wound up on a tape for the legislature's in-house TV station. From there it was sent to a local news station, KCAL, which ran this full report last night:

According to both KCAL and the OC Weekly, an alternative weekly in Orange County, the woman who wears the "eye-patch underwear" is Heidi DeJong Barsuglia, a lobbyist for an energy company, Sempra Energy. Duvall is vice chair of the Committee on Utilities & Commerce.

In the tape, Duvall also says of Barsuglia:
So, I am getting into spanking her. Yeah, I like it. I like spanking her. She goes, 'I know you like spanking me.' I said, 'Yeah! Because you're such a bad girl!'

The OC Weekly explains that it identified Barsuglia as the woman Duvall was talking about because Duvall also said:
And so her birthday was Monday. I was 54 on June 14, so for a month, she was 19 years younger than me. I said, 'Now, you're getting old. I am going to have to trade you in.' And she goes, '[I'm] 36.' She is 18 years younger than me. And so I keep teasing her, and she goes, 'I know you French men. You divide your age by two and add seven, and if you're older than that, you dump us.

The hearing took place on July 8th. OC Weekly looked at voter registration records and confirmed that Barsuglia turned 36 on Monday July 6.

Separately, KCAL named Barsuglia, citing sources.

According to the OC Weekly, Duvall and Barsuglia have been seen "arm-in-arm" at fund-raising events, and even shopping for groceries together near the Capitol.

One Sacramento staffer told the paper:
Their relationship is the worst-kept secret in Sacramento. He's old and fat. She's hot, blonde and about 20 years younger. He could have never gotten a woman like that before he got this job.

As for the second woman, whose identity remains unconfirmed, Duvall said in the recorded conversation:
Oh, yeah, Sher, Shar, Shar. Oh, she is hot! I talked to her yesterday. She goes, 'So are we finished?' I go, 'No, we're not finished.' I go, 'You know about the other one [Barsuglia], but she doesn't know about you!'

This story, of course, just wouldn't be the same if Duvall -- a former mayor of Yorba Linda and the owner of an insurance company -- weren't known as a strict conservative and a staunch defender of family values. But alas, he is.

As the OC Weekly reports, Duvall has "blasted" efforts to promote gay marriage, and got a 100 percent score from the Capitol Resource Institute, which describes its mission as to "educate, advocate, protect, and defend family-friendly policies in the California state legislature". In March, a spokeswoman for the group called Duvall "a consistent trooper for the conservative causes," adding that "for the last two years, he has voted time and time again to protect and preserve family values in California."

In addition, says the paper:
He has offered a law to alter the First Amendment rights of Americans by banning anti-war activists from putting the names of fallen soldiers on T-shirts with messages such as "Bush lied" on the front and "They died" on the back; he observed that the dead soldiers fought to protect freedom, and "opportunists" should not be allowed to "exploit" the sacrifices with political messages opposing war.

Throughout the day yesterday, Duvall evaded reporters' efforts to talk to him about his comments, fleeing several times down the Capitol's corridors.

The voice-mailbox for Duvall's Capitol office was full. Calls by TPMmuckraker to Duvall's district office, to Barsuglia, and to Sempra Energy's public relations department were not immediately returned.

Gross. Just gross. When are people going to figure out, whether politician, teenage girl, or stay at home mom, if you aren't willing for EVERYONE to find out about it (because they will!!!) don't do it.

I'm no longer surprised at philandering politicians. At this point I'd be shocked to find out if one of them didn't cheat on their spouse. So depressing.

Democrats are sexy. Who ever heard of a nice piece of elephant?

Yes, depressing if you haven't become jaded yet, as have I, perhaps, but also good to have yet another hypocrite exposed.

What a dumbass. He should be removed from office.

Trust me, this is Orange County; jackass central. The only smart thing they ever did was dump B1 Bob Dornan, and his replacement, Sanchez, is the very definition of idiot.

I have lived in OC most of my life, but have traveled extensively and I can tell you that OC Repubs are no more evil and hypocritical than Repubs anywhere. It is just that they are and have been in total control for so long and are not likely to lose it either. This moron probably won't even suffer for his shenananigans. What he did was little different from what I have seen everyday upper middleclass businessmen do regularly. That is why I was so shocked that these RW loonies pretended to be shocked by what Bill Clinton did with Monica. I had seen these very weirdos do worse with my own eyes.
Loretta Sanchez may not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier , but she is at least not a hypocritical , bragging moron like the Repubs in OC.

What I don't understand is how politicians can be this foolish. An unwritten part of any public figure's job description is avoid scandal.

You could essentially argue that they are being paid to keep their dick in their pants. Wtf.

By very definition, a politician is egotistical. They actually think they are special and will never be caught because they are so fucken smart. This is true of both parties, but Repubs are especially arrogant , stupid and , far worse, hypocritical about it.

No, indeed, they're not any special sort of evil, they're just a special sort of entrenched, and a special sort of stupid.

Yes...the fact that he is a Republican is why he likes sex and talks about it.
We all know Democrats don't cheat on their spouses.

As usual, you totally miss the point. Some Dems certainly do cheat on their wives, Some may even brag about it. But Dems do not claim to be the paragons of virtue and hero of family values like the hypocrital RW Repub assholes.

YOur absolutely right - Edwards never did that..

Edwards never claimed to be a morally pure, only a fighter for the underclass. I defy you to actual find a quote where John claimed to be so pure and holy the way Repub phonies do .

sounds kinda hot
