Christian-Conservative Nebraska Politician Took Donations from Adult Store Owner
As long as you moan, "oh, god," it's all good
LINCOLN – Bill Kintner, a conservative Christian senator from Papillion, accepted $1,349 in campaign donations last year from "Dr. John" Haltom, owner of a chain of adult novelty stores and a convicted criminal, campaign finance reports show.
Kintner said he met Haltom while campaigning door-to-door last year in Ashland, and Haltom offered to donate signs because he has a "sign-making operation."
Kintner said he wasn't aware at the time of Haltom's profession, but added, "I don't think he owns Doctor John's anymore."

Finally a good pair of boobs on Reason.
Well....at least reasonable.
This is the kind of scandal that will get liberals to start paying attention to the news again. "What?!? Something slightly embarrassing happened to a conservative!!! Outrage!! Teabaggers!"
