>>>>BTW how surprising that the aide to Cantwell is gay.
Senator Cantwell is listed as a VictoryFund member. Those political funds are only available to democrats that are GLBT.
Wow absolutely disgusting.
Too bad the usual LIBERAL media is too busy pounding on Craig to bring this out into the light!
Maria Cantwell has aides.
Read all about it....Section D, pg.17 buried next to the obituaries in fine print.
Seattle KOMO TV is carrying the story now.

office said he was fired. uh huh.
I’m just glad it’s a Dem and not a Pubbie for a change.
Where there’s one, there’s usually others....
Poor Maria, this was her most valuable, very special staff member, “on loan” from Barney Frank’s office to bring Senate staffs into the 21st century......
Cantwell aide arrested in sex sting; quickly fired
A former aide to Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., was in federal custody after being arrested on a charge of attempting to sexually exploit a minor.
James Michael McHaney was fired Friday from his job as a scheduler for Cantwell, hours after he was arrested by FBI agents. The FBI said in court papers that McHaney is accused of trying to set up a meeting with a witness posing online as a teenage boy.
McHaney, who appeared in federal court on Saturday, was being held without bond pending a court hearing on Wednesday, said Channing Phillips, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office for the District of Columbia.
According to court papers, McHaney, known as Mike, tried to arrange a lunchtime meeting with an unidentified person posing as a 13-year-old boy. When the witness, working under the supervision of the FBI, asked whether McHaney was interested in sex with a 13-year-old, McHaney allegedly replied, "I'll be there," the court papers said. He later asked for a photo of the child, the FBI alleged.
News of the arrest was first reported on the Web site, www.smokinggun.com.
Congressional records show McHaney worked as a scheduler in Cantwell's Washington, D.C., office since at least July 2006.
Cantwell's chief of staff, Michael Meehan, issued a statement Monday night saying McHaney had been fired.
"Late Friday afternoon the FBI informed our office that a Senate employee was arrested. The employee was immediately fired. Our office has and will continue to fully cooperate with the ongoing federal criminal investigation. Senator Cantwell has zero tolerance for crimes against children," Meehan said.
McHaney's lawyer, Thomas Abbenante, did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment late Monday.
As much as I enjoy this story, and the exposure of leftist perverts never fails to perk me up some, the reference to "kiddie porn" in the title of this post doesn't seem to be accurate.
