Kinky Porn-Loving Adulterers for Allen!

VALUES SUMMIT Evans and Schelske in happier times
It's nothing but tsuris for Senator Macaca-witz these days. George Allen, the newly Jewish and allegedly racist senator from Virginia, was supposed to skate to a re-election victory next month and promptly start posturing toward the White House; instead, owing to a series of colossal campaign missteps, he's locked in a dead heat with Democratic candidate Jim Webb.

And now comes word that among the conservative Allen's campaign contributors is, according to recently filed court documents, a porn-loving, adulterous, abusive drunk who likes to advertise on Craig's List for three-ways and anal sex and takes naked pictures of himself standing at attention. (Schelske denies the charges).

The contributor in question is Craig T. Schelske, the latest sanctimonious Christian Republican to be outed as a wannabe Rick James. Schelske is the husband and former manager to Nashville singer and Dancing With the Stars contestant Sara Evans. He is also a failed Republican congressional candidate, the executive director of American Destiny, which seeks to teach children about "the role of God and Christianity in America's story," and chairman of CRAIGPAC, a vanity political action committee that gives to Republican candidates.

GRUESOME FOURSOME Rubbing elbows with the Cheneys
Last week, Evans filed a bombshell divorce complaint [PDF] against Schelske in Tennessee, accusing her husband of being, well, a porn-loving, adulterous, abusive drunk who likes to advertise on Craig's List for three-ways and anal sex and takes naked pictures of himself standing at attention. In addition to cheating on her with their nanny, Evans said, Schelske "frequently watches pornography on each of [the family's] three computers," has "at least 100 photographs of [himself] posing with his erect penis" and "several photographs showing [himself] having sex with other women." He was once confronted, the complaint says, by one of his children while watching pornography on the family television. But don't think any of this means Schelske is okay with so-called "alternative lifestyles": He once refused to let Evans' Dancing With the Stars costume designer enter their Los Angeles home because he was a "Sodomite."

CRAIGPAC gave $1,800 to the Friends of George Allen in February, and another $1,000 in May. The Allen campaign did not respond to an inquiry as to whether it intends to return the donations. Other recipients of Schelske's largesse include Rep. Brian Bilbray, the California congressman who replaced disgraced Republican Randy "Duke" Cunningham earlier this year in a special election, Michele Bachmann, a Republican and self-professed "fool for Christ" running for an open seat in Minnesota, Rep. Chris Chocola of Indiana, and Rep. Thelma Drake of Virginia.

As for Evans, she dropped out of Dancing With the Stars last night in a special pre-taped announcement, explaining that "things went drastically downhill, 100 miles an hour" in her marriage. We're sure the Sodomites will miss her.
