When I first read the headline I thought the guy wanted Meth so desperately that he had sex with men to fuel his habit. I should have known the guy was a homo, luring men into having sex by dangling Meth in front of them.
It took awhile, but I was finally able to confirm he was a democrat. A real man of the peephole people, this one is.
By the way, you know the old saw, the one that says if they don’t mention the party affiliation he’s definitely a democrat. That’s not a given any more, and it has nothing to do with the media softening their bias and everything to do with the two major parties becoming indistinguishable.
I do dozens and dozens of these “politician gone awry” stories and it’s nearly impossible to find out they are. Even when you visit a city’s website that lists all the people holding office, they do not mention the party.
I find that peculiar.
If you go to the Fairfax city page there is no mention of this character’s party affiliation. There are, however, some comical passages given what we now know.
As Mayor, Silverthorne has pursued opportunities to make local government more efficient.
Silverthorne supports strategic economic development initiatives.
He has worked closely with residents.
The Mayor is a champion for quality of life issues as well.
Under his tenure, parks, recreation and cultural activities in the city have flourished.
Situated in the heart of the city’s historic downtown, Old Town Square provides a place for social interaction.
He also recognizes the importance of connecting communities.
He strongly supports building more trails and sidewalks to encourage a more walkable, pedestrian-friendly community promoting a healthy lifestyle…
UPDATE: Scipio Africanus tells us this guy just endorsed Hillary.
Will everyone demand Hillary not accept his endorsement?

11ABC: The mayor of Fairfax, Virginia, was arrested in a meth-for-sex sting, police said.
Richard “Scott” Silverthorne was arrested Thursday after he provided methamphetamine to undercover detectives at a hotel in nearby Tysons Corner, Virginia, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.
Police were tipped off to a “possible distributor of methamphetamine” who was “allegedly distributing methamphetamine through a website used to arrange for casual sexual encounters between men,” the Fairfax County Police Department said in a statement. MORE
HT/ Mr. Saddleburr
Smokin’ meth and white owls.
Buried in the middle of the WaPo story he’s identified as a dem. This guy’s life is unraveling quickly. Lost his job. Lost his house. Now losing his freedom.

“He also works as a substitute teacher for Fairfax County Public Schools.”
Well, of course he does.
A man of the peephole.
Fur, I must not be drinking liquids when I read your stuff.
You always know it is a Dem when the story doesn’t carry the party affiliation.
If he had been a Congressman they would have added a REP to fool idiots.
Banging on desperate meth head dudes. It’s hard to think of anything more disgusting. It really is.
To be fair to me, I didn’t read the story of this guy on the link I used for this post.
I saw this on WAPO, the link Saddleburr sent.
I hijacked MJA’s story in drafts. She was already working on it.
A real man of the peephole….now THAT’s funny, I don’t care who you are.
Wow, I live in Fairfax and this is the first I’ve heard of this.
He reminds me of this toy because of his hair. lol

I hope he broke a condom or two.
I’m shocked he’s even been arrested these days. Poor old dedicated public servant just wanted a little peepee whats the big deal.
BARKY’S kind of dom ma..!!!….Loretty will be winging in to take charge and drop the actions as we speak…Reggie may be worried.. Godzilla Moochelle is prolly whacking off right now, thinking of it all..
He also had a side business; high end fudge.
He recently endorsed Hillary. I’m sure most media outlets won’t mention.
“Eight Virginia mayors endorse Hillary Clinton for president”

His mom is surprised, he told her he worked at the candy factory as a fudge packer.
Mom’s used to be the first to know.
Isn’t this type of person that this administration has told us is normal and we must accommodate and accept them for what they are or who they think they are?
I finally figured out who he reminds me of.
Quagmire!!

Chris Cohen, community relations specialist for the city of Fairfax, told ABC News, “We don’t have any comment right now. We may issue a statement at an appropriate time.” I work in government and I’m telling you right now that they’re freaking about what statement to release that gives the city council the best and highest political cover. Funny, even though his photo is still on their website, seems they now have an “Acting Mayor”: http://www.fairfaxva.gov/government/mayor-city-council
An Acting Mayor beats an Unnatural Act-ing Mayor.
That guy is what I always imagined Big Fuzzy Hat looks like.

I’m the straight cop, you’re the faggit cop. I can hear the detective arguing over this one.
i’ve been noticing for awhile that political ads have stopped mentioning party affiliation as well…although if the message is actually about policy and not blasting their opponent, it’s usually pretty easy to tell…
