Another GOP caught with his pants down.
Tim Droogsma, a former press secretary to a U.S. senator and a Minnesota governor, was arrested Tuesday in a midafternoon prostitution sting on St. Paul's East Side.
He allegedly arranged a deal for sex from an undercover officer through Craig's List, police spokesman Tom Walsh said Wednesday.
Authorities cited Droogsma, 50, of Red Wing, on a misdemeanor charge of engaging in prostitution and jailed him for about 12 hours before releasing him on his own recognizance early Wednesday.
He denies the allegation.
Droogsma was a spokesman for Sen. Rudy Boschwitz in the late 1980s and Gov. Arne Carlson in the early 1990s. Recently, he publicly supported a candidate seeking to replace state Rep. Steve Sviggum. All three elected officials were Republicans.

Asked Wednesday about his arrest, Droogsma wrote in an e-mail: "Obviously, I'm deeply embarrassed by this allegation, which is not true and which is the result of a severe misunderstanding, and I look forward to making my case in court."
He declined to explain the misunderstanding.
Droogsma was one of about a half-dozen men arrested Tuesday afternoon for allegedly engaging in prostitution on the East Side.
Because police plan to continue the sting, Walsh declined to give specifics about Droogsma's arrest.

How many more will come out or get caught in the act. I feel bad about the Republicans that are honest but have to deal with all the sinners who call themselves Christians. Is Ari gay?
"Is Ari gay?" LOL! Oh, I have no idea, Jackie! But, I believe that many of the corrupted and hypocritical GOP have put the word "homosexuality" into shame. But, I believe many of them caught with their pants down are not necessarily gay. There are closeted, open, activist gays. But, then there are the other ones that are either simply just curious or have an attaction for the same sex. Whenever it is, the bottom line is that many of them are hypocrits to get on the soap box to promote Christanity and family values and condempt the gay and lesbian community to the public and then behind closet doors get caught with brokeback!
These republicans...I don't know if Ari is gay, but there is no doubt he's a world class liar...it's too bad. I've seen other criminal minds like his, with good parents. It happens sometimes.
I take it you all heard about Ari's new organization where he can exploit injured veterans for the Bush administration and hide behind them for his part in lying the country into war.
You can lie, but you can't hide the facts, Ari. No shame what so ever, I feel sorry for his wife. He pretends to have a sense of humor.I wonder if she'll dump him when she figures out what kind of man he really is.
Ari simply ran out of resources and finances to keep him afloat. He had his own business when he left his gig as press secretary. But, that went south on him. And you would think that he would have a little bit of intelligence to distance himself from Gerbil when he was giving immunity by the government in the leak case. The CIA leak investigation is not a closed case. Libby's perjury and obstruction of justice conviction is a closed case but not other aspects to the case. Ari is digging a much deeper hole if he continues to associate with the Administration. But, Ari will face those consequences for the good and bad.
Sex offenders seem to be much more rampant with the GOP lately.
As far as Ari goes or any spokesman, you have to learn to lie to do that job, much more so working for this administration.
