A Surprising Change

It's not often the actions of politicians surprise me but I was admittedly caught off-guard by this:

A Dakota County sheriff's deputy allegedly caught two Minnesota lawmakers "making out" in a parked car last week, according to law enforcement reports and court records, but the lawmakers say that accusation is "completely false" and a "lie."

State Rep. Tim Kelly, R-Red Wing, and Rep. Tara Mack, R-Apple Valley, were issued citations for causing a nuisance on Aug. 25.

The two, who are married to other people, were in Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Eagan when they were allegedly spotted by the officer 'making out' in a parked car about 4:30 p.m., according to documents. The officer's notes claim Mack was half undressed when he approached the vehicle.

I wasn't expecting to hear about a Republican representative being caught in a park screwing around with a woman. Around these parts they're usually caught in an airport bathroom screwing around with another man.
