A New Jersey congressman has fired his chief of staff -- a former after the aide was arrested in Maryland on a charge of soliciting sex from a minor.
Democratic Rep. Steve Rothman took the action after learning that top aide Robert Decheine was among 11 people snared in a Gaithersburg, Md., police sting. Police placed ads on a website and an undercover officer communicated with customers through phone and text messages.
Police said the 48-year-old was arrested on Nov. 17 after soliciting to have sex with an underage girl. Decheine was released on $15,000 bail. Eleven arrests were made during the operation, which came in phases. First, ads were placed online and an undercover officer began communicating with each "John," according to the Website TMP.
The Record newspaper reports Rothman's office issued a statement saying the New Jersey Democrat considers the alleged criminal act "to be shocking, appalling and indefensible.''
Decheine told the newspaper in an e-mail message he had no comment. Decheine was a senior advisor to the Obama campaign in 2008, according to PolitickerNJ. He previously served as chief of staff to Rep. Bill Luther (D-MN).
Decheine has run Rothmans Washington and New Jersey offices since May 2003.

"Interesting" tagline you've got to say the least:
America, you voted for a negro socialist with an Islamic name - so why act surprised?
Is your main problem with Zero his race? Why do you even mention his race?

As a matter of fact you are in before the zot. And so am I. I don’t understand why. Hasn’t anyone brought this n00b, racist, defender of pedophiles to the attention of the mods yet?

Wasn't there some pervert who got zotted several months ago who was saying that it wasn't a big deal if young children got molested because they wouldn't remember it?
