Related: About this forumNew Mexico REPUBLICAN Politician Frolicked In Philippines Sex District
You probably have never heard of New Mexico politician Michael Wiener. Neither had a Seattle photographer when he ran into him one night last month in a Philippines sex district.
Wiener 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.
Now, the Bernalillo County commissioner and ex-state senator is facing questions about what exactly he was doing there after the photographer posted the photos online along with a description of the encounter.

you could make a pretty good living out of following around male politicians. The men just keep embarrassing themselves and showing just how horrible they are.

Angeles City was the community outside Clark Air Force Base, which was run by the USAF until 1991.
