Meet your average Florida republican judge:
Judge Charged After Calling Unwed Mom 'Disgrace To Society'


ORLANDO, Fla. -- A judicial panel has charged an Orange County judge with chastising a deputy sheriff who had a child out of wedlock, saying she was a "disgrace to society," "had no morals," and her child was "a bastard."

Judge Alan C. Todd, a judge for 14 years, was charged with making a series of "rude, intemperate and demeaning comments," according to the six-page notice released Wednesday by the state Judicial Qualifications Commission. After discovering in January that Orange County Deputy Sheriff Mindy Hood was an unwed mother, Todd told her "it is acceptable for a male to have sex before marriage, but if a female does so, she is not respected and considered a tramp," according to the notice. He also said Hood's family "obviously had no morals," the notice said.

According to the notice, Todd also referred to another woman deputy as a "deputite" and said the only "real deputy" assigned to his courtroom was a man, the notice said.

Todd asked detectives in 2001 if a female courthouse administrator "was taking good care of the detectives." The detectives said she was and he responded, "Well, that's what the men's bathroom wall says ... I just wanted to make sure," the notice said.

1. Wow. Don't they have any standards for judges in Florida?
What a pathetic excuse for a human being.
