SEX SCANDAL JOLTS CONGRESS(investigation of lawmakers that involves a top spy, limos, and hookers)
New York Post ^ | May 3, 2006 | GEOFF EARLE

May 3, 2006 -- WASHINGTON - Congress was abuzz yesterday over a shocking investigation of lawmakers that involves a top spy, limos, and hookers. Federal prosecutors are investigating whether contractors provided rogue former Rep. Randall "Duke" Cunningham with prostitutes as part of a bribery scandal that landed the lawmaker in the slammer.

At issue is whether two government contractors gave Cunningham free limousine service and lined up hookers for sex trysts in Washington's Watergate Hotel.

"The guy's certainly a scumbag - this is just more proof of that," said one House Republican aide.

The brewing scandal took a new turn yesterday, as the CIA's inspector general said the office opened an investigation into the CIA's No. 3 official, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo.

As the spy agency's executive director, Foggo oversees millions in government contracts.

Investigators are looking into whether any other members of Congress or their staffs took limo rides and hotel visits with hookers.

"CIA's inspector general said the office opened an investigation into the CIA's No. 3 official, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo."

Would seem to me, the CIA's Inspector General, who was after all Mary McCarthy's boss, sould have his hands full already.

Foggo's name in this was leaked two months ago, in March. Before Mary McCarthy was, uh, relieved. This is part of the media's pushback, IMHO. Lots more stuff to come in the future, methinks. For some interesting reading as to what the future may portend, scroll down and read these musings ;^): http://macsmind.blogspot.com/

So you agree with Al-Qaeda that Washington DC should be destroyed? Wow I'm left speechless.

Reckon this is what Sen. Coburn was alluding to when he mentioned others would see some incarceration time.

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

I don't see what the problem is here; spying & prostitution are the only two things that function well in Washington DC.

Slainte.

You would think that the Hookers would have more discretion than that?

The backlash is too strong and now Univisions view audience is threatened with deportation.

I can't believe politicians are stuck on the dinosaur media thinking this stuff would never come out.
