The House Ethics Report report on Daniel Patterson was released this morning. Turns out the committee’s investigators looked beyond domestic violence allegations made by his ex-girlfriend and ex-wife. It reads like a tale out of an Arizona version of Reefer Madness, or in this case, what happens to state lawmakers who allegedly smoke too much dope:
“Rep. Patterson has engaged in a pattern of dishonesty and untruthfulness beyond tolerable political puffery and mroe personally sinister than typical political discourse among devoted and head-strong politicians advocating for thier positions and for their constituents. Indeed Rep. Patterson’s misrepresentations have crossed in an area of unabashed dishonesty.”
Read the report in its entirety here [PDF], but we’ll probably be posting highlights (or lowlights, if you prefer) from the report for some time.

Really need to work on that educational system. If this is really out of an official document, it’s embarrassing on many levels, not the least of which would be grammar.
I certainly agree that the report is embarrassing on a number of different levels. What a lunatic this guy is.

You don’t get egotistical from smoking dope……the guy had to be a asshole since he was six years old…..
