One his photos?

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A lawyer who was Columbus' "naked photographer" says in a deposition for a bar association panel investigating him that his nude stalking of women was an addictive behavior.
Stephen Linnen says he believes the time he served in jail and the counseling he has received will make him a better lawyer.
Linnen, 34, pleaded guilty in September 2004 to 53 misdemeanor counts of public indecency, sexual imposition and criminal trespassing and was sentenced to 18 months in jail.
He would jump naked out of bushes in front of women and take pictures of their shocked expressions.
He'll appear at a hearing next week before a three-member Columbus Bar Association panel, which will make a recommendation to the Supreme Court's Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
Linnen could face a suspension or disbarment. Linnen used to work for the Ohio House Republican caucus and now is in private practice.
In the depositions, made public this week by the bar association, Linnen says he has "such a revulsion towards my former behavior. I'm trying to be a better person in recovery and to manage my life in a healthy way."
Hmmm... that doesn't necessarily mean he's a Republican, does it? But most people will come away thinking he is, just as the AP intended.
Dollars to doughnuts, he's a rat. But either way I think the public understands, Pubbies would handle the situation completely different than democrats; namely, if the pervert is a Republican, it's clear that Republicans would ostracize him, whereas if he's a rat, 'rats would elect him President.
He could sell those pics for thousands.
One his photos?
Maybe he's not a real Republican.
He could just be a RINO.
Did he have a horn or a trunk?
Maybe this is one of his works:
("Denny Crane: Gun Control? For Communists. She's a liberal. Can't hunt.")
Perhaps the thrill of ambulance-chasing wore off? Why didn't he go into a more decent line of work... with the paparazzi. WWABD? (What Would Alec Baldwin Do?)

File with "Sodomizing altar boys make me a better priest."
It's too bad that all the women he tried to photograph didn't point at him and start laughing.
