Oh wow!!I live in California and I know how religious and conservative this guys district is. He is in sooo much trouble!  

“Eye patch”?Argh……
Were that MY husband, he’d NEED an eye patch alright!
Must go fix the kitchen sink “drip” now for some reason… think there’s bleach under the sink to help.

“Family values.”Why is it that “family values” pols keep espousing values they obviously don’t believe in? Don’t they get the idea that people will hold them up to the standards they hold up for others when they get caught not living up to “their” values? Incredible.

Arrrgh. Pass the rum!He is my Assemblyman. Hopefully soon to be Former Assemblyman.
People around here are now referring to him as “Spanky Duvall”.
I believe “Talk Like Pirate Day” is coming up on September 19th. Maybe Spanky should wear some lobbyist eye-patch underwear as he walks the plank!

Really?That’s not usually how it plays out.  He’ll make a tearful apology to his dutiful wife, say that the Lord has forgiven him, and go on about his merry Family Values way, doncha think?

Thanks for the laugh LouiseI could use a couple cups of bleach myself…hold the ice.

Opposed Gov’s “Fun Tax” and was awarded “Ethics in America Award” for highest standards of ethical integrityhttp://arc.asm.ca.gov/member/72/
Let’s see:

Michael D. Duvall was elected to the California State Assembly in November 2006 to represent the Seventy-Second Assembly District which includes all of the cities of Brea, Fullerton, and Placentia, and parts of the cities of Anaheim, Orange, Yorba Linda, and La Habra. He was reelected to a second term in November of 2008.
Within a month of his arrival in Sacramento in 2006, Duvall was appointed to the Vice-Chairmanship of the powerful Assembly Transportation Committee, which is tasked with overseeing the many roadway, rail, air and port operations of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and the California Highway Patrol (CHP). In subsequent weeks, he was assigned to the Assembly Insurance Committee, Assembly Budget Committee and Budget Subcommittee #2 on Education Finance, and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee overseeing the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office.
Assemblyman Duvall currently serves as Vice-Chairman of the influential Committee on Utilities and Commerce, which oversees the regulation of public utilities in the state, as well as dealing with trade issues. Duvall is also a member of the Assembly Committees on Appropriations and Local Government. In February 2009 Assemblyman Duvall was named “Legislator of the Year for 2008″ by the California Attractions and Parks Association for his opposition to Governor Schwarzenegger’s proposed “fun tax.”
Since his first election to the Yorba Linda City Council in 2000, Duvall has developed a reputation as a strong leader advocating for fiscal responsibility and economic development. While on the council, his colleagues elected him Mayor twice, appointed him Council Liaison to the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce and appointed him to the City Audit Committee. Recognizing his hard work on their behalf, twice as many of the city’s voters decided in 2004 to elect him to another term on the council.
In addition to his service on the Yorba Linda City Council, Assemblyman Duvall has also served the county on numerous boards and committees: Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) where he served on the Finance, Administration and Human Resources Committees as well as the Capital Improvement Projects Oversight Committee; Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Board of Directors, serving as the Vice Chair of the Finance and Administration Committee, Vice Chair of the Operations Committee, and State Route 91 Advisory Committee; Foothill/Eastern Corridor Joint Powers Authority; the Groundwater Replenishment System; and the Santa Ana River Flood Protection Agency.
Assemblyman Duvall continues to work tirelessly to improve mobility and plan for the future transportation needs of Orange County. His efforts have resulted in significant savings for local taxpayers. In December 2008, he received a Resolution from OCTA for the successful enactment of AB 387, the Assemblyman’s first submitted bill which focused on transit security and expanding design-build procurement authority.
Assemblyman Duvall continues to own and operate a local insurance agency and understands what it takes to run a small business in California’s strict regulatory environment. As the two-time President of the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce and Chairman of the Yorba Linda General Plan Steering Committee, he was a passionate defender of local businesses. Chapman University awarded Duvall the Ethics in America Award in 2000 for his “demonstration of the highest standards of ethical integrity” while a member of the Chamber team.
Assemblyman Duvall lives in Yorba Linda with his wife Susan. He has two grown children.

Except they don’t…hold them to the values they espouse.  They just make a big show of apologizing to the wife, family and constituents, and talk about how if Christ can forgive surely his voters can too.  Then the voters usually totally forgive them–that is the core value of a good christian after all.
Plus it really doesn’t matter if he has Family Values, just that he votes for them.

The problem is, people do NOT hold their politicians to standardsYou know for a fact that every anti-gay, transphobic, pro-war, “no public option” Democrat in the United States that currently holds office will win their primaries. Every. Last. One.
American’s care about standards when and only when it is someone of a different ideology than the one they espouse.  

I hope to hell his kids are too young to read, and aren’t daughtersJust what you’d want all your schoolmates ribbing you about your Dad’s creepy drippy fantasies.
A live mic on this guy is SO KARMA!

It’s always the “Family Values” guy/gal that are Hypocritesand the voters who believe them get what they deserve.

Remember the real ‘faith’ of the C-StreetersThey believe that there are indeed two different sets of morality – one for the ‘little people’ and one for those who ghod has revealed to be his chosen emissaries…
you know…
Republican officeholders.

No WayUnlike all the other scandals no one has been caught boasting about how he smacked it up, flipped it and rubbed it down. Even the precious governor of SC managed to somehow infuse love into his emails. But this guy is on record as just a heal. Besides his constituents aren’t just family values, they are “get the rope because we don’t understand what you are doing”, kind of family values.  

what did he dobefore he was in the assembly, anyone know?
i bet a guy like this has dozens of former conquests scattered about town.  i’m guessing we’re going to hear a whole lot more…

We’ve heard it.We can’t unhear it. And now I boil my brain in acid.

We’ve heard it…now lets make sure no one else can unhear it.
Twitter it out, facebook it out, spread the word.  We can’t let those that hurt us escape the very standards they push on everyone!

DENABETH!!! HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!!BRAIN BLEACH!!!  BRAIN BLEEEAAACCCHHH!!!!!
PASS SOME OVER HERE, QUICK!!!!!!!!!!!

In protestI bleached my hair. (in all fairness, it was on my “to do” list…)

There is a Godand She has a wicked sense of humor.

Here ya go!Remember to share:

Thank You!!!Thanks, Louise!!!
A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste, but THIS story is too much, even for me!! LOL

Unfortunately, we get stuck with them too  These are the same type of ‘Values’ screwballs that constantly stand in the way of our civil rights.
 Perfect example, Diaper Dave Vitter, he is still in the Senate voting lock step with the rest of the GOPers.
 It doesn’t matter how hypocritical these dirt bags are, as long as they vote the party line.

abso-f*ckin-lutely

Perhaps this is the same Michael Duvall……Who made the following donation to the Yes on 8 campaign?:
http://www.sfgate.com/webdb/pr…

LOLThis seems to be par for the course as far as hypocritical republicans are concerned.  However, Pam, I LOVE your last lines on this article.  I could totally see your face as your read that freakiness!!  LOL.  I love it, made my day.  Keep up the good work.

Doesn’t look like it

Assemblyman Duvall continues to own and operate a local insurance agency and understands what it takes to run a small business in California’s strict regulatory environment.

I’ll leave it to others to make remarks about insurance salesmen.

Assemblyman Duvall lives in Yorba Linda with his wife Susan. He has two grown children.

I’m not too terribly familiar with SoCal, but isn’t Yorba Linda near San Clemente?  For some reason I associate both with Richard Nixon.  Maybe the PropH8 donor was one of the ASSembly-oid’s spawn.

Speaking of ‘caught on tape’…Thankfully this one doesn’t involve sex, because I’m not sure brain bleach would be enough for any image of Jean Schmidt…
From Crooks and Liars:

Rep. Mean Jean Schmidt, Republican from Ohio, has been a treasure trove of wingnutiness over the past few years and her latest whopper came in a candid moment when she felt she could speak her mind freely:

Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH) spoke at the Voice of America tea party this Labor Day weekend outside of Cincinnati, OH. Following a tense Q&A session – during which, the congresswoman was booed for acknowledging that the Constitution is a living document – Schmidt engaged in a heated conversation with a birther off-stage. At the conclusion of their exchange, Schmidt whispered to the birther, “I agree with you, but the courts don’t.”

There is video, but I couldn’t embed it: http://crooksandliars.com/loga…

He’ll ask for God’s forgiveness, hold a press conferencewith his stoic faced wife, declare it a “private family matter” and all will be forgiven. Seen it 1000 times.

I’m gonna start buying brain bleach in 42 gallon barrels…
O_o

Duvall removed from committee after vulgar comments caught on tapeAssembly Speaker Karen Bass today stripped Assemblyman Mike Duvall, R-Yorba Linda, of his spot as vice-chair of the Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee following reports of a long term affair he has carried on with a female utility company lobbyist.

Wanna bethis wife will be diving a new car.
A very expensive one.

Simple answer

I deeply regret the comments I made in what I believed to be a private conversation.  This is a private matter and I ask that everyone respect the privacy of all involved.

In a word…
NO.
People of his political ilk do not believe in a right to privacy – and any such right was blown to smithereens via the fact that it was not kept private.

Oh, I’m sure the constituency doesn’t mind…as long as he keeps his far-right voting record. Especially in a place where the local media reports that 26% of its residents would favor a white supremacist party — http://www.ocregister.com/arti…

For A Minute ThereI thought you were referencing Dahmer’s infamous disposal vat…..
but his was 57-gallon! LOL

None of them give a damn about ‘family values’‘family values’ is a buzzword, nothing more. I wouldn’t be surprised if the term ‘family values’ was born in a PR firm.
Its like a ‘real american’, last time I checked democrats are just as much american citizens as anyone else. But thats because ‘real american’ is a buzzword that fires up a crowd better then ‘republicans’, the same way gay families and straight ones that dont hate gay people have just as much ‘family values’ as the most bigoted mormon, but thats not what the term really means. its a label they started using when ‘gay haters’ stopped testing well, candidates that obviously hate gays, support ‘family values’, theirs no anti-gay bigots just ‘family values voters’.
Thats why I doubt this guy will lose any support among the pro prop-8 crowd aside from the major groups distancing for PR reasons, none of them really care that he gave his family the finger and pissed on every possible meaning of the phrase ‘family values’, because he’s still living up to its real meaning by hating gays. Just like it doesnt matter when a ‘real american’ rips up the real american constitution because they’re still fulfilling the actual meaning of the term by being republicans.

When You’re A “Family Values” PoliticianYou apparently DON’T believe in a right to privacy.  If part of your “career” is obsessing over and voting on the going-on’s of the private lives of other people (like some worthless peasant with nothing better to do), your so-called “privacy” is up for discussion as well.  
It continues to be hilarious that deviants are the ones calling certain groups of people “deviants”.

He’s already been kicked out of his leadershippositions in the Assembly by the GOP. I’m actually kind of surprise they acted so fast. Usually the GOP circles the wagons and digs in their heels
Sacrament Bee has the story of his removal:
http://www.sacbee.com/topstori…

You always take advantageof being too far away to throw something at, dontcha?

That video is also on breibart TV, saw it when I found Hank Jr video

According to his business/ insurance page“Planning Is Your Best Protection Against The Unexpected”
ROTFLMAO….

I liked what one commenter at the SacBee wrote:

bringbackamerica and his Fox Network propagandists don’t have a word about this on their website…I wonder why/ Maybe their busy looking for a way to blame Obama and the Democrats for this scumbag’s infidelity.

Farmers’ Insurance is gonna drop him/ his “writing number”so fast it will make his head spin…

I love the big ‘Get a Quote’KCAL got a quote…
lots of ‘em in fact!!!

RESIGNATION!?Duvall’s campaign website says he has resigned.
http://www.duvallforassembly.com/

Rush already blamed Sanford’s affair on ObamaI kid you not: http://chattahbox.com/us/2009/…

“[Sanford] had just tried to fight the stimulus money coming to South Carolina. He didn’t want any part of it; he lost the battle. He said, what the hell. I mean, the federal government’s taking over…what the hell, I want to enjoy life.”

so I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before they pin Duvall on him too.

LOL!!If it’s tomatoes, go right ahead!  Let me get a paring knife and a salt shaker first, though! LOL
I haven’t heard the “un-edited” version of his conversation just yet, so we’ll NEED a 57-gallon drum of brain bleach and several washing boards once THAT recording gets out to us!
