One more weird activity

It certainly seems as though there have been an exceptionally large number of weird activities involving Republicans of late. Here's the most recent:

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A single mother and a Nevada congressman running for governor gave vastly different accounts of a night of drinking that ended in three calls to 911, a police investigation and a battery complaint that was later withdrawn, police reports show.

Chrissy Mazzeo made three calls to 911 in which she told operators she had been assaulted by Rep. Jim Gibbons, according to investigative reports released by police Wednesday.

Mazzeo, 32, told police that Gibbons grabbed her arms and tried to force himself on her late Friday in a parking garage near a restaurant where she had been drinking with a friend, the congressman and his top adviser.

Gibbons, 61, a five-term Republican congressman who is running for governor against Democrat Dina Titus, told police the alleged assault "didn't happen." He said he walked Mazzeo toward her car and helped her catch her balance after she tripped.

"And if she assumed that helping her up ... was detaining her, well then ... I'm shocked at that," according to a transcript of Gibbons' Oct. 14 interview with police.

Both Gibbons and Mazzeo told police they had been drinking.

Mazzeo dropped the complaint the next day and told police she did not want to start a media circus. She did not recant the allegations or say she lied. She also told police she was not pressured to withdraw the complaint.

When asked about her change of mind, she said it was "because of who he is."

"I just don't want to go up against that," Mazzeo said.

You would think these guys would at least try to keep some sobriety during the election season, wouldn't you?
