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.

Politicos and prostitutes, there is a difference between the two?
How so very true...
Slainte.

Yes, but that reeked of a setup. The press 'just happened' to be there to take pictures as the ladies disrobed...ri-ight.

I would consider one noble........
The nobility is not extended to the one who are elected.

The difference is the prostitute is probably more insulted in being mentioned in the same breath as a CONgressMAN.

Ronaldus Maximus was a wise and learned man.
Wasn't that Fanne Foxe, the Argentine bombshell? Remember the saying, "she was only a stripper from the Silver Slipper, but she had her ways and means."
Back then, major papers had reporters with photographers "embedded" in the police departments. Called crime reporters and today the "reporters" wait for tips or leaks.
Yed...good old Fannie.
I think they are already doing that......
I'm trying to remember the name of the secretary who couldn't type who "worked" for Rep. Wayne Hays of Ohio -- I think it was Elizabeth Ray.
Elizabeth Ray, I think, is correct. Wasn't she a little chubby like Monica?
Why shouldn't hookers be getting governemnt kickbacks like everyone else in Washington?
"....prostitutes as part of a bribery scandal that landed the lawmaker in the slammer...."
Likes attract.
The difference between politicians and hookers is this: Hookers will let YOU do anyting YOU want for money, while a politician will do anything they can TO YOU for the same.
