Look at the career aspirations of convicted GOP wife-beater Rep. Mark Olson—he has quit the Minnesota House to run for state senator. Olson called his conviction for domestic assault (for shoving his wife to the ground several times) a “personal failure.” He begged his House colleagues for forgiveness; no word on whether he apologized to his family.
Ken Avidor of Dump Mark Olson sounds disappointed that he’ll have to keep blogging about the co-sponsor of a state marriage amendment in his post “Rep. Mark Olson Un-Dumps Himself and Runs for Senate”: Crap… and I thought I could put this blog in mothballs…
Olson, btw, was ordered to attend two counseling sessions after reports surfaced that he was abusive to his staff in 1997 (example: throwing a typewriter at a secretary); no charges were filed.
Look at his bleating against marriage equality—from a man convicted of abusing his spouse.

Well you obviously forgot the equation.
Het+white+male+conservative=Right
So clearly the fault was with the secretary for getting in the way of the typewriter and his wife for getting in the way of his fist OR this guy needs a time-out in some state facility but not the Capitol.
