Flynt. Hookers. GOP

Ah the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate points its judicial digit at another member of the G.O.P's moral elite. This time it is Louisiana Senator David Vitter.

Leading the charge that threatens up to 20 members of the government, gadfly and... ahem... adult entertainment mogul Larry Flynt. I despise hypocrisy and I really can not stand bullshit moralists. So basically when one of these clowns gets caught in a sex scandal, it just sets me to laughin'. Oh the rain is comin' and its gonna hit like pissin' on a flat rock.

...The Vitter scandal has touched off new anxiety among Republicans over whether their party will pay the price for members who fail to live up to their moral principles. Flynt, an unabashed Democrat, acknowledged that the GOP provides him with easier targets.

“Republicans are more fun because they get caught so easily,” Flynt said. “They’ve been living a repressed life all their life. Democrats are liberal — they wear it on their sleeve. Their sex life is what it is. They don’t spend their whole life trying to cover it up.”

Excellent.

Shock and Awe Awe Baby! That's Great!

More Names Possible in D.C. Escort Case

"She never kept a black book. She kept telephone records," said Montgomery Blair Sibley, an attorney who represents Palfrey in civil matters....

Randall Tobias, head of the Bush administration's foreign aid programs, abruptly resigned Friday, the day ABC reported that Tobias had used Palfrey's escort firm, Pamela Martin & Associates. Tobias told the network he received only services that were legal, such as massages.

Tobias is the second person to be publicly labeled a Palfrey customer. In court papers, Palfrey listed Harlan Ullman, a military strategist who authored the combat strategy known as "shock and awe," as a client. Ullman has said the assertion is not worthy of a response.

Gives a WHOLE new meaning to the term, "shock and awe".

Well folks as this case heats up I won't be laying on my back. Got my popcorn ready for the upcoming show.

Here's to a happy ending!

Who knew that GOP stood for Get On a Prostitute?

In general I wouldn't care who bangs what. However, since this administration and the whole bloody Republican party have been on this "sanctity of marriage", "family values" sanctimonious bullshit, well... Its just so much fun when stuff like this happens.

Deputy Secretary of State Randall L. Tobias submitted his resignation Friday, one day after confirming to ABC News that he had been a customer of a Washington, D.C. escort service whose owner has been charged by federal prosecutors with running a prostitution operation.

Tobias, 65, director of U.S. Foreign Assistance and administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), had previously served as the ambassador for the President's Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief.

The escort service bore the law firm inspired moniker of Pamela Martin and Associates. Here's a review form Judy's Book:

Where a Republican can go for descreet service and full release...

Dickless C.
It's getting tough to get one's groove on in this town if you are a Republican... However, this service has shown to be descreet, and the women are super. Ya' gotta have the dough if you want the 'full' service...

The Ghost of Abramoff Present.

As pointed out by Holden (of First Draft), over at Eschaton , today

" What will those same anchors (referring to CNN coverage of Sen Johnson's illness) say when Jack Abramoff takes out Thad Cochran?"

Email: Abramoff Associate Urged Funds for GOP Sen. Who "Never Said No"
By Paul Kiel

Washington runs on money -- no one understood that better than Jack Abramoff, who built his empire directing huge volumes of sometimes clean, sometimes dirty money from interest groups to politicians (and directed political favors back the other way).

Another man who understands the maxim is Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), a senior lawmaker who has helped control the flow of billions of dollars from his seat on the Senate Appropriations Committee for many years....

An email obtained by TPMmuckraker and never before published provides perhaps the best example of a lobbyist hitting up his colleagues for donations to a friendly lawmaker. In it, one of Abramoff's lobbyists makes a strong pitch for contributions to Cochran in the midst of his 2002 re-election campaign because "Sen. Cochran's office [had] never said 'no'" to the Mississippi Choctaw -- the casino-owning tribe that was one of Abramoff's prime clients since the beginning of his lobbying career.
