http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/04/michael_wiener_philippines_sex_district.phpWiener was spending time in the Angeles City red light district when he apparently stopped a photographer on the street to take a picture of him posing with a quartet of scantily clad women in an area well known as a hub of prostitution.
It turned out, however, the photographer was not just some American tourist taking in the sights. He was a professional photographer named John Keatley, who was in the country documenting the sex tourism industry.

This isnt the first time Wiener has faced questions over his actions. He was cleared in an investigation (paywall) last year after a female staffer in the county complained that he sexually harassed her by complimenting her on her looks and making jokes like Did you know that the (County Commission) now has a Wiener and a Johnson on it? He acknowledged making the joke but said he didnt mean for it to be sexual.
Wiener was also forced to apologize in 2010 after sending out an email with a joke that makes reference to President Barack Obama, African-Americans, showers and prisons, according to another New Mexico television station.

Any fucker who does his or her level best to legislate the sex lives of anyone else while they're off screwing anything that moves, all the while that taxpayers are having to foot the bill for their crap, well
Fuck those people.
The old adage in politics is that there are two things that you NEVER want to be caught around with your pants down; either a dead hooker or a live boy. Now it seems that this situation doesn't apply to this particular Wiener here, and yet, in spite the fact that he's a Republican... You can color me amazed.
His issues with his lady friend, well, those are his own personal problems. So, who cares? However, this asshole has to answer to the people of New Mexico about how he got his dick wet in The Ville while he was on the public's dime, IF it was the case that he was in country on official biz.
Now I can't say that I actually sympathize with this fucker, even though I, myself, have partaken in the local festivities of Angeles City waaay back in the day. But I was 25, unmarried and on leave during the entire time I was there. And by the way, when I was there, I know for a fact that it really wasn't necessary to have to pay for sex
Unless, of course, you're in a hurry, then all rates are negotiable. These days I have no idea what the deal is. The last time I was there was in 1987, but enough of that.
But, one thing's for sure, he's a typical Republican horn dog, who should never have collected a public paycheck EV-ER! He has to answer to the people of New Mexico about that.
It's about time he gets a taste of the real world.
