Bye Bye, Scott

This tool long ago long touch with reality, so it's no wonder he finds himself in such hot water now.

A former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq is facing child-sex charges.

Scott Ritter of Delmar, N.Y., is charged in Pennsylvania with unlawful sexual contact with a minor for alleged online exchanges with police posing as a 15-year-old girl. The Pocono Record first reported the case Thursday.Monroe County authorities say they traced the exchange through a cell phone number he provided.

Police say Ritter gave them a video of him masturbating during an Internet chat.

The 48-year-old Ritter has been free on bail since waiving a Dec. 17 preliminary hearing. He has acknowledged facing similar 2001 charges in New York that were dismissed.

Ritter later became a darling of the anti-war left during the George W. Bush administration. I'm sure they'll also be unavailable for comment.
