On the one hand, the allegation made by the Daily Caller that Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., flew to the Dominican Republic and paid two women for sex seems just what this campaign season really needs -- a sex scandal. On the other hand, it's not much of a scandal. Menendez is divorced, after all, and laws against soliciting prostitutes are honored more in the breach. To be sure, the senator is being accused of reneging on the transaction, paying only $100 after having promised $500 to one of the young ladies in question.
