Reporter: ‘As Many as a Half a Dozen’ Members of Congress May Be Involved in Prostitution Scandal »
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the FBI is “investigating whether two contractors implicated in the bribery of former Rep. Randall ‘Duke’ Cunningham supplied him with prostitutes and free use of a limousine and hotel suites.” The Journal also said the investigators are exploring “whether any other members of Congress” are involved.

Last night on MSNBC’s Scarborough Country, Dean Calbreath of the San Diego Union Tribune – which recently won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the Cunningham case – said that “as many as a half a dozen” members of Congress could ultimately be implicated in the prostitution scandal. Watch it:

1. I heard that reported last night too. I can't recall who the reporter

was that I heard, but he said although there are always rumors, he was not going to mention any names until there's more verified info out there. Interesting....

I hve totell you, while he was reporting this story, they were showing a clip of Cunningham, and all I could think was "OH MAN! There's one guy they couldn't pay me enough to ...be with!" YUUUCCKKKK!

11. I was thinking along those lines...

Like, "how much extra did they have to pay the prostitutes to sleep with that"

[acmavm]

2. Somehow this whole thing just DOESN'T surprise me at all.

Nope. Not at all.

8. And on the other hand....

Would you have sex with any of these pigfuckers for FREE?
I don't know if there is enough money in the world to have sex with Denny Hastert....:puke:

9. How will this play with the Talebangelists who've convinced their flock

that GOP means God's Own Party and that the Republicans are all that stands between them and the Democratic Party and the race-mixing, homosexuality, fornication, adultery, and man-on-dog marriage it represents?

[NewJeffCT]

10. Well, if you are a Republican

If you are a Republican and something bad happened to you before today, you can write it off as a "youthful indiscretion", even if you're 70 something like Duke Cunningham.

12. Two separate prostitution scandals ... don't forget.

1. The nascent call-girl scandal involving (presumably) female prostitutes, limos, hospitality suites, lobby money, and congressmen.

2. The established prostitution scandal involving male prostitutes, press passes, fake credentials, national security breaches, and White House staff members.

[librechik]

19. that's only impeachable for Dems. Everyone is so amazed when a puke

gets a (girlfriend or boyfriend or toddler)that they get a free pass.

Isn't that the way it works?

13. When are we going to start hearing 'it's only sex' from REPUBS, LOL.

Oh the delicious irony.

If only there were a schadenfreude smilie, rubbing its hands together with glee...

[w8liftinglady]

18. Does it count if you can't get an erection?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

25. LOL, a shout out for the Viagra/Cialis K Street crowd!

[acmejack]

14. It is just that these people are so hypocritical!

There is a lot of truth to the projection thing, those who pontificate the loudest, the most self righteous always seem to turn out to be the worst among us...

[Coventina]

15. PLEASE let one of them be JD Hayworth!!!!

That's all I want for Christmas!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. HA HA HA - Love it

[realFedUp]

17. More Mob Family Values....nt

[aquart]

21. When Sixty Minutes profiled DeLay...

They interviewed many congressmen who spoke of how DeLay knew what they liked and provided it.

Nobody thought, "Uh, like sex?"

So far, I'm only hearing about adult female prostitutes. Oh, come on now.

[SpiralHawk]

22. Are you suggesting republicon perversions of an unnatural order?

Surely you can't mean to imply that the Holier-Than-Thou Family Values "LEADERSHIP" republicons represent some kind of kink-infested cesspool of human sexual depravity ?


If you do, please provide (many, many, many) more details so we American Citizens can weigh the gravity of this in our TABLOIDS.
