Elliot Spitzer could have saved a lot had he headed over to Michigan. You have to say this for the Democrats, at least when they have a sex scandal, they are getting lots of hot and heavy sex right now. On the GOP side, Vitter had sex years ago, while Ryan, Craig and Foley did not even get to have sex in their sex scandal.
How do you know that those guys (well, mainly Craig and Foley) were not getting any outside of the scandals in which they did not have sex? For example, how many times did Larry Craig successfully find a partner in the Minneapolis airport before he got arrested?
I don't know -- but the scandal that brought Craig down was frankly dumb -- foot tapping with a wide stance? In any event, if he did have sex, it was sex between two consenting adults (hopefully in a private place). Homosexual sex is not illegal. In Foley's case, he was just scuzzy and should have stepped down previously. No former page has come forward to say he had sex with them, only that he was creepy. At the time, the Foley case was the last straw for me regarding the GOP leadership, as they KNEW he was creepy and they still asked him to run again. I leave aside the question whether Foley violated any law (namely the cyberstalking law Foley had sponsored). As for Ryan, I say it is the dumbest sex scandal in American political history. It was all in the context of a very nasty custody battle which was resolved out of court. He allegedly asked his wife for sex (albeit in public), she said no, he said OK. So he basically was accused of NOT haveing sex with his own wife. At least the Democrats are getting some hot action (though to be sure, they had to pay a professional for it).
Pols in NYC were frankly shocked that the Gov. had to actually pay. The shenanigans among pols in Albany & interns/aides is legendary. They even have a term for it - "Bear Mountain Compact." Anything that happens north of Bear Mountain bridge "stays in Albany"
Have you seen Stabenow? I can't say I blame the guy. If she's as useless in bed as she is in the Senate, it wouldn't surprise me the he needs to seek outside assistance.
I take it no one on here except Pathogen and another poster have seen Stabenow? Let's just Google images is a bad idea on this part. Trust me.
Back when I was clerking in Washington, I was stopping off to see a friend on Capitol Hill, I talked to a few staffers and found myself invited to a happy hour in one of the House office buildings. A couple a Congress members would rotate throwing Friday night happy hours for the interns and junior staffers who don't get paid a lot of money. That sounded nice to me. The Congressmen themselves were all back home of course, but the senior staffers would stop in. And I noticed that the more senior people were basically sizing up the young female staffers and interns. Which is why when the whole Chandra Levy thing hit, I was not surprised, there is a bit of that culture on Capitol Hill. As for why the Governor paid, it is obvious -- he wanted absolutly no strings attached. Someone who is an Albany groupie might be looking for love or might talk. Spitzer's prostitute apparently had no idea who he was -- he was not paying for sex, he was paying for her to leave after sex.
You mean, she doesn't compare well with this? http://bp0.blogger.com/_9Bx0L3n3uAo/R_PEfK-TesI/AAAAAAAAB-0/nqnq5nF67bU/s1600-h/martin.jpg $150? Wow, that's cheaper than dinner & drinks at a good restaurant!
Yeah, but it was only oral sex. That doesn't even count as sex according to Clinton! That's why Dems get off so easy (no pun intended)--it's not really sex.
Let me put it this way, if I had to have sex with someone in that photo, she wouldn't be my first or second choice.
Which reminds me of an old joke. A koala bear goes to Times Sq. (when it was seedy & lots of fun) and visits a prostitute. When he's done he gets up to leave and the prostitute says - "Hey koala bear. Where you going?" KB "What do you mean?" Prostitute - "why don't you look up prostitute in the dictionary?" So the koala bear does that and it reads "one who gets paid to have sex." So the Koala bear throws the hooker the dictionary and says "look up koala bear." She does and it says "one who eats bush and leaves" I'll be here all weekend, folks. Thank you.
