Anytime a U.S. senator is forced to go on the record to deny liaisons with Dominican prostitutes, it’s probably not a good week for him.
That’s what happened to New Jersey’s Bob Menendez (D), who, after the FBI raided the office of a donor with whom he had grown close, unleashed this gem of a statement on Wednesday: “Any allegations of engaging with prostitutes are manufactured by a politically-motivated right-wing blog and are false.” Oof.

When he starts sounding like Weiner....you know it’s bad.
How long before he claims the “ghost of Breitbart” hacked his email account???

I’d say, the MSM not withstanding, a few dims had it rough this week...throw in Hagel with them.
I’d say the folks who rocked this week were Rand Paul and Ted Cruz...
But I’m gasp! prejudice.

Sex with an underage prostitute is a career enhancer for a democrat.

MENENDEZ WAS PAYING TO HAVE SEX WITH CHILDREN!!!

"I did not have sex with those underage girls, er, women, two times, er, with two women, uh, I mean, not a single time with even one girl, er, woman, never ever."
- a peek inside the whirling gears of the Menendez brain.

Maybe the FBI didn’t want to make it look like it was purely politically motivated. I can understand that.
It will be telling to see how hard they go after this case now that the election is over...

That is a D's MO, blame others. Remember when Hillary blamed the "vast right wing conspiracy" for her husbands BJ's in the oval office?
Can we assume when they blame us, GUILTY!
