There is a news story. While I value opinions here at DU (sometimes), I really value knowing what the news is or at least a link. So, if it is important news, please do tell what the hell the news is!

Gov. Bentley and Staffer Rebekah Mason

Gov. Robert Bentley’s press conference today in which he apologized...but for what? He denied ever having had a physical relationship with his “closest aide”, but admitted that he once had an inappropriate conversation with her two years ago. A reporter asks Bentley if this conversation had anything to do with his divorce from his wife of fifty years. Bentley says he has no comment on that. ........

Rachel says it is some of the most politically damning audio OF ALL TIME.

Ewww. Partial tape transcript: “When I’m standing behind you, pull you in real close, put my hands on your breasts, put my hands under you….if we gonna do what we did the other day, we’re gonna have to start locking the door.” (paraphrased)

Busted!!!!!

Now learning from Rachel that the tape was made by his ex-wife of fifty years.

And here is the tape: ..............
