"Family Values" State Assemblyman Michael Duvall of OC is a Hypocrite!

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Michael Duvall, a California State Assemblyman who represents Orange County claims to be a "Family Values" Republican. But, as is so frequently the case, he does not practice what he preaches. This asshole got caught talking into a hot microphone about affairs (yes, plural) he's having with lobbyists.

Towle Road has details and video of some of the conversation broadcast by KCAL9.

So yeah Mike, for God's sake, keep the queers from getting married because that's morally wrong. But cheating on your wife and fücking lobbyists (who, BTW, are also married) is fine and dandy!

What a revolting piece of hypocritical shït this guy is!


No, I am not surprised by this revelation, but it still makes me sick.

shock! (not) I think anyone that yells FAMILY VALUES should have a little PI work done on them to see just how well they stack up to what they spew.

[SacTown Chronic]

The real sin here is talking into an open mic.

Good to see a lobbyist fvcking something other than the constituency.

Maybe his family values the occasional piece of side ass. I know mine does.

What a jerk!

[Alex]

Not shocked by the turn of events.

But I am always amazed to find out there really are stereotypical men who really do discuss their sex lives in graphic detail with people who aren't the person they're having that sex with.

I've never run into such a person myself. Maybe my "I don't care" aura blocks them.

What district is he? Maybe I should run against him

[Ghoulish Delight]

District 72, Fullerton, Placentia, Brea

[Morrigoon]

Oh well

[Ghoulish Delight]

This revelation makes the following line in an editorial he wrote a little creepy:

"The shameless use of our children as lobbyists, or, worse, as props, is disgraceful."

The only thing that would have made this more delicious is if it had been a male lobbyist.

Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles, and Assembly Republican Leader Sam Blakeslee of San Luis Obispo released statements this morning chastising Duvall for his comments and announcing that Duvall has been removed from the Assembly Rules Committee and the Assembly Utilities and Commerce committee, which he vice chaired.

Reports by KCAL and the OC Weekly said that one of the women Duvall was sleeping with was a lobbyist for utilities companies.

The Assembly leaders also announced that the Ethics Committee and Rules Committee would be looking to the matter.

“I am saddened and disappointed in the recent comments made by Assemblymember Mike Duvall,” Bass said in a written statement. “There is no question his comments were inappropriate. In consultation with Minority Leader Sam Blakeslee, I have removed Assemblymember Duvall from the Assembly’s Utilities and Commerce and Rules Committees and I have directed our Ethics Committee to look into this matter. The Assembly has some very important policy work to complete in the next couple of days and we will not allow this situation to become a distraction.”

Said Blakeslee: “I am terribly disappointed by the situation surrounding Assemblyman Duvall’s comments. The statements he made were inappropriate and unacceptable. I have asked Mr. Duvall to step down from his post as a member of caucus leadership and I have requested that Speaker Bass remove Mr. Duvall as Vice Chairman of the Assembly Utilities and Commerce committee and as a member of the Assembly Rules Committee. This matter is currently under review by the Assembly Rules Committee and we are awaiting their findings.”
