The Minnesota Republican party has been self destructing lately, and part of the action was the sudden resignation on Thursday of Amy Koch, the Senate majority leader.
Then yesterday, a bunch of her Senate colleagues announced she had been involved in a vaguely described "inappropriate" relationship with a staffer.
This led to the following headline showdown between the Star Tribune and the Pioneer Press this morning:

In case you were wondering, Koch is (according to the Wikipedia) "a strong supporter of family values and, in 2009, had coauthored a bill (S.F. No. 1975) to amend the Minnesota Constitution declaring 'A marriage between a man and a woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in Minnesota.' "

I so hope the unidentified staffer turns out to be a gal!
I just love Carmella's remark! It appears that many of the "family values" politicians don't really live their stated principles.
