SEX SCANDAL JOLTS CONGRESS(investigation of lawmakers that involves a top spy, limos, and hookers)

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.

Wasn't she a little chubby like Monica?

I honestly don't remember. I know she was about 40 years younger than Hays and her famous quote of "I can't type, I can't file, I can't even answer the phone."

Definitely FDR. His mistress was with him when he died in Warm Springs, GA. Warren Harding was supposedly almost Clintonian in his wants and needs.

>>This is all part of the accusation that Portor Goss indulged in the hired help.<<

Are you Porter Goss is implicated with the prostitutes or with Cunningham - I must have totally missed this - he doesn't seem like the type.

This is hardly surprising. Our current Washington lawmakers are incapable of rational behavior. They all need to go on both sides of the aisle.

The "Two-Party Cartel" is so corrupted & the sheeple keep voting them back in. How soon will we collapse from within?

The dirty left is spreading rumors.

Here is a direct link.

Trying to implicate Sen Norm Coleman.

Someone is running scared from 'Oil for Food'.

"Seriously. I can't believe there are still people out there who would be shocked that some politicians are dirtbags."

Agreed--probably more of them than fewer.

Thanks for the clarification. So we have a blog citing anonymous sources and then not even directly naming Goss... very sad.

...remember Wilber Mills (D) splashing with a hooker in a public fountain?

Fanny Fox! Otherwise known as Anabella Batistella. I remember her well. Old Wilbur drove into the D.C. Tidal Basin, drunk as a skunk....then decided to take a dip with the voluptuous Argentinian Firecracker.
