I find it hilarious (or just infuriating) that the asshole husband goes around screaming about sodomites but apparently was trolling Craigslist for anal sex. Want to explain that one to me, Mr. Scary Right-Wing White Supremacist Husband?

"Meanwhile, a source close to Schelske tells PEOPLE: "Craig is going to drop a bombshell this week. He will be telling his side of the story."

This is going to get interesting.

What a second....I just stumbled into this thread. She really announced that she's quitting the show? No one posted a link about the whole scandal. I am totally out of the loop. A little help?

People.com is all over the story. I first read all the sleazy details in the Tennessean.com - I'm sure if you go there you can do a search and get all the details.

From The Tennessean:

Evans' original divorce complaint accused Schelske of committing adultery with the children's former nanny, verbally abusing Evans and frequently watching pornography in their home. It claimed that Schelske had photos of himself having sex with other women, as well as 100 nude photos of himself in an aroused state. In addition, Evans claimed in the filing that he frequently threatened her, "told her she is crazy," and told her he would take the children to Oregon.

She's also taking action to stop him from moving money from their joint account into his own personal account.

Wasn't this the guy that posted naked pictures of himself onto Craigslist trolling for sex from guys , girls and threesomes ? Gotta love those Anglo-White ReTHUGlican good-ole boys .

Why did she take up dancing?

Did her voice give out from shrieking at the "Sodomites" to stay off the lawn and out of the house?

I don't think Sara had the problem with the gays, just her husband.

We don't know how she feels about gay people, but for the life of me I don't understand how someone could be/stay married to someone with such awful, hateful views. It would be bad enough if he simply said he didn't like gays, but people who go around talking about "sodomites" are truly beyond the pale. How the hell do you get married to that unless you have some sympathy for his views?

Borokat, is the coverage you're seeing in the Tennessean (and, presumably, on the Nashville TV stations) par for the course when it comes to country-music scandals (e.g., Vince Gill and Amy Grant, Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks)?

Wow, this sleezebag ran for Congress in 2004. Thankfully, he lost in the primary. We don't need another pervert in Congress.

I don't know what Sara's views on gays are, but she has some scary views on women and marriage:

It's most important to keep marriage and family together. I am a child of divorce, and it's devastating. I have a 12-year marriage. And the way I see it, the way to an amazing marriage is having sex ... lots of sex. Sex keeps the marriage young. And a woman should maintain herself for her husband and stay attractive. I like to put the kids to bed, have a glass of wine on the patio or by the fireplace, and I ask Craig, 'What do you need of me?'"

As for her career, most of her music is pretty generic country, but I do like the Suds song and video. She is an awful live singer though.
