Taking Bets : Who, besides Duke Cunningham, ordered up prostitutes?

[kentuck]

I doubt very much that the "Duke-stir" was the only Representative that got a limo, a chauffeur, and a free room at the Watergate and the Westin Hotels? Did Rep. Doolittle fall for a little fellatio? What about Duncan Hunter? Any Democrats blowing in the breeze? This is going to be an interesting story in the next couple of weeks, I have a hunch. :)

[saltpoint]

1. Gotta say, kentuck, I favor two hinge points on this issue.

I favor the legalization of prostitution.

I favor the defeat of all Republican members of Congress.

[Shilohtd16]

2. Arlen Specter

is probably going to go down hard.

[Uncle Joe]

35. I think he will probably find premature release before that happens.

:evilgrin:

[Democrats_win]

3. I think there was a famous case (DEM?). Also Franks (D) had situation.

where someone was running a ring out of his office. He wasn´t involved.

[benddem]

9. the ring was in the

White House during GHW's regime.

[Democrats_win]

12. So far theGHB WH ring is CT (?) The Barney Frank case is well documented

Please don´t be angry with me on the GHB sex ring. It´s a can of worms I don´t want to touch.

[Democrats_win]

11. Dick Morris-republican political consultant & Clinton consultant.

Morris was caught using the services of a prostitute by the name of Sherry Rowlands

http://debate.uvm.edu/impeachment/kelly.html

There´s still a famous congressman we´re missing.

4. A friend of a friend in one of the...

cabinet level agencies (commerce or interior) told me during the impeachment mess that Livingston and others were being supplied prostitutes by lobbyists. So this has been going on for years.

[PassingFair]

31. "So this has been going on for years."

Ya think?

:rofl:

Flesh is the international currency of payola.

5. Democrats? I'd bet LIEberman and Byrd

The Repukes must have some kind of dirt on them, or else they'd actually vote like Democrats.

Some people say.

[KoKo]

29. Robert Byrd would NOT qualify for what you say...

and if you'd heard his magnificent speeches against Iraq Invasion yuo wouldn't sully his name with that kind of accusation. :-(

Lieberman...I have no idea...maybe...but not Senator Byrd...do you have any idea who you are talking about to put Senator Byrd's name in your post?

[KoKo]

30. Actually, Kentuck , I was going to "GOOGLE" it today after

reading so much these days on "Talking Points Muckracker" site. I thought to myself..."You need to find out every member in the House Defense and Intelligence Committee" and figure out which could possibly have been out there in this porn/card/booze ring of "Influence."

But...I got lazy and had something else to get done for work...so I didn't get to it.

I think though that there must be a couple of "high ranking Dems" involved in this and that's why our Dems have been "spineless." Protecting their own...through thick and thin and thousands died and we were lied to...but because they wanted their money and position it didn't matter.

"WE THE PEOPLE" were laughed at as "ignorant and not savvy enough" to get the "game in DC" and so they did what they did with much glee and lack of concern for who they were and our Democracy that other thousands have died for throughout the years.

I don't care who goes down at this point. I just want NEW DEM FACES and NEW REPUG FACES IN THERE...I want them ACCOUNTABLE TO US...but...I know they won't be. Still...we must always hope for GOOD CHANGE...musn't we...

[Ian David]

34. Byrd... Scalito... Roberts... fuck Byrd. He votes Repuke more than 50% n/t

[KoKo]

36. Byrd fought with everything he had to keep us out of Iraq...........

And, giving Bush "Imperial Powers."

[Ian David]

38. He gave Bush Scalito and Roberts. Sounds like he gave-up

Maybe someone has tape of him with a whore?

Some people say.

[saltpoint]

6. In times past there was the case of Wilbur Mills and the stripper,

Fanne Foxe, "the Argentine firecracker."

I believe Mr. Mills was picked up, quite loaded, by Capital cops in the retention pond of the Jefferson Memorial. I may look this up to get more details, but it was something like that.

Here's a piece from the WaPo:

[benddem]

10. right n/t

[tenshi816]

24. Don't forget Wayne Hays from a couple years later,

who actually put his mistress, Elizabeth Ray (who as I recall was a call girl before she restricted her activities to just one Congresscritter), on the public payroll as a clerk even though she herself admitted "I can't type, I can't file, I can't even answer the phone."

Link here, again from the WaPo: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/longterm/tours/scandal/elizray.htm

Now that it's Republicans getting up to such shenanigans, I don't expect much to happen in the way of "investigation". If any Democrats get snared, however, a full-scale Ken Starr type investigation will probably ensue, and they'll find a way to drag Bill Clinton into it.

[saltpoint]

25. Ah yes. the illustrious Ms. Ray. I wonder exactly which feature in

her skills portfolio prompted her being hired....?

:evilgrin:

[tenshi816]

27. Here's part of her resume I didn't know existed:

According to Wikipedia, Elizabeth Ray was Miss Virginia in 1975: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Ray

Goodness gracious me, I wonder what her "talent" part of the competition was?

[saltpoint]

32. LOL! That's power politics for ya. And there's more stories yet

to come if DailyKos is right on the Duke Cunningham yacht parties tale results in official charges.

And it looks like it's going to.

[Jack from Charlotte]

7. Laura "Unsafe-at-any-speed" Bush . (nt)

[Warpy]

8. Aw, hell, they all do. What I want to know is who's been ordering

Gannon/Guckert? I think a look at his client list would tell us why the Democrats are spiritless, the news media codependent, and the GOP loath to investigate anything going on with this administraton. It would certainly explain why rabidly homophobic televangelists and crazies like Phelps were so strangely silent when the story of Guckert's amazing access to the inner circle of the White House came out.

And that 100 sleepovers! Oh my! And not a peep out of Falwell, Robertson, or Phelps!

Wouldn't you love to know? I would.

[KansDem]

13. Why don't they just put a big red light on the front of the Capitol

...and be done with it!!!

[madinmaryland]

14. What about Frist and Santorum?

They are so santimonious!

[caligirl]

15. Pombo, Drier(male),Anyone taking money from Abramof.

[kentuck]

16. Pombo ! Absolutely!

:)

[kestrel91316]

22. DEFINITELY Dreier!!!!!!

[caligirl]

17. Any one hear reports the hookers were male, two comments

over at Huffpo on Cunningham being outed some time ago and it is likely the hookers were male.

Page 3 of the comments to the article at Huffpo>

"reports are circulating that the hookers were male not female as everyone susupects. i wonder if jeff gannon was there.
cunningham has said before he had gay sex during vietnam and was outed by a speaker at a conference already"


What were Gannons escort services connections?

[caligirl]

18. Goss??????????

[Jack Rabbit]

19. This is the sort of thing that would happen on either side of the aisle

Brace yourself. Since the K Street project made lobbyists so GOP friendly, it will probably be mostly Republicans, but no one should be surprised if a Democrat or two gets his yang caught in a wringer over this.

[kentuck]

20. That's right....sex don't have a party....

and everybody does it....well...almost everybody...nothing to get defensive about. :)

[abburdlen]

21. delete

I ought read the whole thread before adding my $.02

[Kablooie]

23. But the prostitutes all worked for Clinton.

Don't hit me.
Devil's advocate. Devil's advocat!!

[BeachBuckeye]

26. Maybe a certain former S.W. Florida congressman

Who has a different job now? Word has it.........

[mr.alleycat]

28. Ask the Kids in Boys Town

Many of the same players hang around Dubya

[realFedUp]

33. I guess Bill Thomas

seems to be of that ilk.

[NNadir]

37. Frist.

I'll bet there was a lot of Frist fucking going on.

Hassert.

Oh, and let's not forget Tom Delay.
