Now it’s time for our latest installment of the Troy King Chronicles.  You’ll recall in our last episode, the Republican Attorney General of Alabama, Troy King, was lampooned in the press for his anti-sex-toy crusade, courtesy of former Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Loretta Nall.  Nall had mailed to him an inflatable f*ckable pig and the paper printed an editorial cartoon of King in leather S&M gear holding the inflatable pig.  (My cartoons in Portland aren’t nearly as fun.)

Today’s episode:  “An Unsurprising Dose of the Obvious”

This is not about being gay. This is about being a hypocrite…of the highest order.

…According to rumors flying around for the last week Troy King, our rabidly homophobic, anti-sex toy, Sunday School teaching, pro-execution Republican Attorney General is GAY! And I don’t mean that as in happy either. I’d bet he is anything but happy right now. In fact, according to two sources he is about to resign. Also posted here.

Two Alabama bloggers emailed me asking if I had heard the rumor that King Troy’s wife caught him in bed with a MAN and kicked him out of the house around the time of the Special Session. Could I confirm it?

…I have some friends in pretty high places in Alabama politics so I called one of them up with the juicy details. They told me they heard a rumor about his sexual orientation some six months ago from a former reporter with a large, credible newspaper in Alabama. I also know that reporter and knew them to be very credible. The rumor at the time was that Troy’s mystery man was his old college roommate who he gave a position to when he took over the AG office in 2004. Supposedly when Troy was out of town so was lover boy.

The story then became that the mystery man was a young man who had just graduated from Troy University and was the Homecoming King(no pun intended) (God that gets confusing…Troy King with the homecoming king who graduated from Troy) and that was who the wife walked in on. Then a few weeks later Troy and his boy toy from Troy were spotted at the YMCA (not kidding) engaging in….ummmm….inappropriate activities. Yeah…at the YMCA…made famous by the Village People. Apparently Troy has no inkling of what it means to be ‘discreet’.
