Congressional Sex Scandal?

May 02, 2006 10:26 AM

The Congressional payoff scandal may soon be known as the Congressional sex scandal.

The FBI is now investigating whether hookers were part of the scheme used by defense companies to get lucrative contracts.

We already know about the cash, cars, mansions and yachts that changed hands in the case of disgraced former Congressman Duke Cunningham.

But now sources close to the investigation tell us, as well as the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, that sexual favors may have been part of the deal.

The allegations include descriptions of Washington, D.C. poker parties in hotel suites, where prostitutes were brought by limousine as part of the entertainment.

No comment from the owner of the limousine company, a man with a long criminal record who just happened to get a $20 million contract to provide limousine service for the Department of Homeland Security.

The corruption scandle in congress is the result of power and money. Members of the congress are power hungry and do every thing to stay in power. This requires of them to seek money to be elected and relected again and again. Money from lobbies, who represent multinational croporations, will donate money to those congressmen who pass bills that benefit these croporations. This how money, power and corruption are linked. The Americans are the lossers, politicians and multinationals are the winer. As simple as that.

What I find interesting is that a MSM blog would post this and not one person has yet to call us names or smear the site. Twice remarkable... W and his merry band of thieves may yet be doomed.

Wasn't Scott McClellan's favorite reporter, "Jeff Gannon", a hooker?

Who was he "entertaining" and for what?

Oh that crazy family values crowd, at it again with their crazy deviant behavior.

The department of homeland security is starting to sound like it's run by the mob. Look at the range of suspicious goings-on and leaders in charge. My suspicion is that a close look at these people and their activities will unearth a wealth of disturbing news. Get 'em!

Extraordinary report!!
Please don't let this subject slide. People are finally understanding just how much damage has been done to our country by the GOP-controlled government.

200 visits?

I'd rather JFK & Marilyn, or Bill & Monica, than Dubya & Jeff Gannon ...

I mean at least the Dems don't have to pay for it ...

Oh, wait, we're the ones paying for it ...

It is amazing to me that Congress would attempt to impeach the President for having his, ur, personal, ur, moment in the white house but have no problem hiring, ur, entertainment I believe it was called without being reprimanded. Unbelievable!

Bush said if he was elected in 2000 he was going to give the oval office a good scrubbing...well more than the oval office needs cleaning. Folks, if defense contractors are involved in prostitutes...then they are involved with Jeff Gannon, male White House whore. Let's get to the gay congressional sex...so we can movec on and rescue the kids from the kiddie congressional sex...ie.see Franklin Cover Up.

Even aside from Gannon/Guckert and Neil Bush, how can you have all that corruption flying about and NOT have Hookers (of whatever sort or persuasion/age?), or for that matter be more appalled at one than the rest.

When a person goes this rouge, why would they stop at half measures as long as they thought they could get away with it.

And if you can make anything a state secret, you can, at least for a while.

THe comparison has gone way beyond Clinton and is approaching Saddam's sons.

The GOP, Greedy Old Pigs, have shown again that they own the monopoly on hypocrisy. Will the mainstream media expose the GOP for what they are? I have my doubts. After all, if the religious right finds out about this sex scandal, Bush might lose his base and then he might not be able to start another war.

I wondered how Jeff Gannon figured into all this - I guess now we have our answer!

Stephen Colbert wrapped Bush up, and tossed him into the garbage in a stinging "tribute" to the president last Saturday evening. Of course, the mainstream media (MSM - liberal? LOL) totally ignored it. The beauty of BUSH, a short ten feet from Colbert's podium, being subjected to a ROAST to end all ROASTs, while silently fuming, was all the sweeter because there could be no crueler torture this side of Abu Ghraib.

Colbert, bathing the BUSHie in waves of effusive adulation, cut to the bone.

God bless Stephen Colbert, a man uncommon intellect, AND humor that went over the heads of most of the PRESSCORPS, who mostly pretended not to hear.

Bernie Weiner said they will keep on doing what they are doing untill the American public revolts. Congress sure as hell is not going to do anything about Bush and company!

And let's never forget: While the the sanctimonious "Culture of Life and Family Values" Republicans were accepting bribes, partying and getting it on with prostitutes, our kids in uniform in Iraq were being fed rotten food by Haliburton, couldn't get the equipment and armor they needed, couldn't come home because of Bush's "stop-loss" policy, and were being killed and maimed - while Congressional Republicans - all of whom backed up Bush's lies - were getting laid.

How much more do we need to know??

Why aren't we rising up?

What will it take?

What will we say to the mother of the last soldier to die in Iraq for Bush's lies, "sorry, we were too busy to stop them any sooner"???

True news are great news.... With your position, you don't want to hurt anyone or any family. Just don't want you to fall into Dan Rather's foodsteps.... Make sure true story is true first....

What I don't understand is how can Tom DeLay say the current Russell Feingold-led censure movement against Bush is unconstitutional when he led the impeachment wars against Clinton?

And how much longer is the "liberal MSM" argument going to work? Don't more people listen to Rush Limbaugh everyday than read the New York Times?

Odd, that when Clinton mauled a 20 something intern you guys shouted, "It's just sex!"
