Richard Curtis [far left], the gay crossdressing gaybashing former Republican Washington State representative, has dropped the charges of extortion he threated against the gay male prostitute and junior-achievement porn star he assfucked last fall before falling into a squabble with him about payment for services rendered.

The case is a little confused, in no small part because Curtis is a fucking psycho whose story kept changing but it is safe to say this law-and-order family-values, rock-ribbed Republican didn’t relish the thought of his hooker, Cody Castagna, 27 relating the twisted tale of Curtis begging to be assfucked while wearing red stockings and a sequined lingerie top at a Spokane hotel.

The local papers reported that Curtis wrote to the prosecutors: “My wife, daughters and son-in-law have paid a very high price for my actions and also the actions of the defendants. My family and I have found ourselves closer as a result and are settled into a new chapter in our lives and are moving past this incident.”

Right, Mr. Curtis, all Republican families feel much snuggier knowing that Dad is running around porno shops wearing dresses and cutting deals with male prostitutes to assfuck them without wearing rubbers. Shame that the family can’t hear the whole story. It was way wacky.

Curtis picked up Castagna at a porn store in Spokane, did their assfucking at the hotel, fell asleep - and then things went terribly wrong. Curtis claimed Castagna called him on his cell phone from outside the hotel, told him he knew Curtis was a state representative, threatened him and demanded more money than the initial $100 he got for the assfucking.

Curtis flipped out, called the cops and reported an extortion attempt. While the cops were looking over the hotel room scene of the assfucking, the cops reported, Castagna called with a demand for more money that had to be deposited in a flower pot at the end of a city bridge. The cops staked out the bridge and bagged a friend of Castagna’s who collected the money at the appointed place. Alas, the story won’t be told in court or anywhere else unless, of course, Castagna signs a book deal, unlikely since Curtis is such small potatoes and there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of stories like his at the federal level.

Still, it looks like a big part of the story hasn’t been told as prosecutors claim they were not only dropping charges against Castagna but three reputed accomplices as well. Who knows what the fuck else transpired in this twisted and sordid affair? What is on the record is already a pretty compelling narrative of Republican virtue.

Solid, fast-tempo writing from from one talented officer, penning what an online critic called the DaVince Code of GOP politics.
