Would you be shocked if arms lobbyists pimped for Congressmen?

Literally pimped, I mean? If they exchanged dates with hookers at the Watergate for contracts with the DOD?

DC Sex Scandal About To Break?

Sometimes we read too many political clips and overlook some amazing things staring us in the face. Among those in Monday's edition, this little factoid, culled from Sunday's San Diego Union-Tribune blockbuster digging deeper into the Duke Cunningham's relationship with "co-conspirator No. 1," a.k.a. lobbyist Brent Wilkes.

According to the U-T, Wilkes also "ran a hospitality suite, with several bedrooms, in" DC -- "first in the Watergate Hotel and then" in a Capitol Hill hotel.

Come again? A "hospitality suite with several bedrooms"?

Talk about raising more questions, including:

-- Why does a lobbyist need a "hospitality suite with several bedrooms"?

-- Who uses those bedrooms and for what?

These lobbying scandals involving Cunningham and Wilkes and Abramoff are looking more and more like a bad movie script every day. Except with one difference from the movies: this stuff actually happened.

bush** administration member or supporter.

It makes Wilbur Mills and Fanne Foxe seem rather quaint in retrospect, eh? http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/images/I14138-2004Oct07

I pity the poor working girls who have to service those revolting swine. Lord only knows what would turn on the likes of Cunningham... :puke:
