Argus: Sutton hearing will take place during week 2

By -
The Argus Leader is reporting this afternoon that the accusations against Dan Sutton for allegedly fondling a high school boy won't be heard until week 2 of the legislative session:
The Senate had planned to begin a hearing to decide whether to discipline or expel Sen. Dan Sutton, D-Flandreau, as soon as the session opens Jan. 9.

But Sioux Falls lawyer Jim McMahon, who will handle the hearing for the Senate, has a scheduling conflict, so the hearing will not be held until at least Jan. 16, Sen. Ed Olson, R-Mitchell, chairman of the Legislature’s Executive Board, said today.

I wonder how frank will vote.

My guess is if Sutton did break the Senate rules by sleeping in the same bed with a page, and I'm not saying he did, Frank would vote against Sutton.

Frank's views on legislation differ greatly from mine, but on a moral issue like this I think we would be on the same page.

A little ambigous if you ask me...

So what? The point here is there is only one legislator in the House and the Senate who is capable of screwing up so badly that he can draw attention away from Dan Sutton and his underpants. It's Frank Kloucek. Unbelievable!!!!

I can't wait for Janklow to grill his silly ass about his allegations of drunken interns and pages under Sutton's care.

Frank, do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth so help you?

Just to clear up the murky waters, Janklow won't be grilling anybody. Firstly this is a conflict of intrest and secondly his sole purpose in those procedings is to ensure that the page's rights are kept. That is all that he is doing, he will not be prosecuting anyone, especially a friend from the same county, whose father was one of his closest friends and supporters

Firstly, firstly isn't a word.

Secondly, secondly isn't a word.

It's improper English. Try using the words "First" and "Second" instead. You'll sound slightly more intelligent.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...
