With Weinergate calmed down, we've been due for the next political sex scandal: Rep. Phillip Hinkle, come on down!
A new report from The Indianapolis Star puts the 64-year-old, six-term Republican lawmaker in a sordid Internet sex scandal, as emails obtained by the paper suggest he was attempting to pay for sex with a 18-year-old man named Kameryn Gibson. (Hinkle recently cast his vote supporting a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.)
Based off emails, the paper reported that Hinkle responded to a Craigslist ad Gibson placed under the banner M4M (men for men) Casual Encounters. The ad -- featuring a picture of a shirtless Gibson -- was posted at 7:37 a.m. Saturday.
