Lawmaker mistakenly hands out document with explicit references
http://www.foxnews.com/politic...porn-references.html

"PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Be careful when you're surfing the web.

That's the lesson learned by a Rhode Island lawmaker, who acknowledged he mistakenly gave his colleagues a handout that showed open browser tabs referencing pornographic content.

State Rep. Ramon Perez brought printouts of a Wikipedia article Wednesday to give to House Finance Committee members as part of his testimony in favor of a bill.

The screenshot reportedly showed multiple open browser tabs with titles referencing pornographic material. No images could be seen.

A House spokesman confirmed Perez gave the document to the clerk, who made copies and distributed them. The clerk collected the handouts from members when the tabs were discovered. Perez submitted a new handout the next day.

Perez says the incident was "a mistake." He says the handout was provided to him by a friend whom he'd asked to research the information.

The Associated Press contributed to this story. "

Haha, yeah ok, pal. I laughed out loud when I read that.

Seriously, what an absolute moron. I wish we could see the handout. I'd love to know what the tabs said.

Ok; So no mention of party affiliation,I assume means Democrat.

If he were republican the headline would be:

REPUBLICAN lawmaker mistakenly hands out document with porn references.

Probably more like "Trump supporter embroiled in sex scandal, could lead to the White House"; especially if CNN had any input to the story...

In RI, there are less than a dozen Republicans in the house and senate combined if I remember correctly. Here it's do nothing Dem or flaming lefty Dem.

Had the randy representative been a Republican the article title would have read: Republican Representative Distributes Republican Porn to Republican Conspirators Along With Republican Bill, Makes Lame Republican Excuse.
