Congressional Non ‘Sex Scandal’ of the Day

By Doug Powers • January 8, 2011 11:19 AM

Maybe Congress has raised the bar on morals and ethics just a tad, because the “sex scandals” are getting fewer and farther between — so much so that it looks like some are being forced to invent them where they don’t seem to exist.

First, the allegations:

Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack has been caught on camera in a lurid scandal where another woman is apparently licking her breast.

RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained the photo which shows the powerful politician in a playful, but compromising position with a campaign donor who is now being investigated by the FBI.
[...]
The woman apparently licking Bono’s breast is Edra Blixseth, a disgraced former billionaire who is at the center of a criminal investigation probing whether she made fraudulent representations about her financial worth to a number of banks.

Now go look at the photographic evidence.

If the Radar folks (HuffPo’s on it too) think the woman is “licking Bono’s breast,”they’d also believe this person is holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa:

Or they might think that Bill Clinton is actually touching Fran Drescher’s rear end in this picture when it’s clearly just an optical illusion. What? Oh, nevermind.

In any case, the alleged Bono Mack picture — that is four years old — is either a Photoshop, background/foreground illusion or a bit of both. In the old days, congressional sex scandals didn’t have to be invented. Radar should have waited a few days, because an actual congressional sex scandal will probably be along soon.

However, because I could be mistaken due to the fact that I’m not an expert in mammarian osculation photo forensics, I may spend the bulk of the weekend doing research to better familiarize myself with this particular scientific discipline.

I had a call from SUIT magazine. It seems they are affiliated with Arianna Huffington (and then of course George Soros). It is for entrepreneurs which seemed contradictory to me. I asked them, who could afford to be an entrepreneur today?

As far as the Bono pic. Sorry, not enough skin to be conclusive.

Wasn’t it Anne Coulter who said that the main difference between Democrat and Republican sex scandals is that ours usually don’t involve any actual sex?

And isn’t it the Democrats who are for non stigmatizing of gays and lesbians?

(I don’t know what Mary Bono looks like but I have to admit that I don’t find girl on girl unappealing, and I am as conservative as it gets)

That photo looks like the silly photos on the covers of the “newsmagazines” at the supermarket checkout aisles.

Doug, you need to learn more about interpreting photographic evidence! That woman is NOT holding up the Tower of Pisa! She’s pushing it over!

You’d better watch more CSI so you can learn more about interpreting evidence!

On a family trip not quite 20 years ago, we took a picture of one our sons as he was holding up the Acropolis in the palm of his hand….

Meh. That’s a scandal?

Barney Frank’s boyfriend ran a prostitution ring out of his house. Ted Kennedy left a woman to drown in his car. Gerry Studds and Dan Crane were screwing underage House pages. Now those are scandals.

This is a big old nothing burger.

Either the pictures have been take down or a lot of people are into girl-girl action. I decline to comment.

I know you’re joking, but try this out…

Drag the bottom picture of the man around and see how big he looks.

Well, when a sitting California Congresswoman marries a sitting Florida Congressman it shouldn’t take a genius to figure out that neither considers the “home” district their home any longer.
They both consider Washington D.C. their home.
It should be an election issue next primary if it hasn’t been already (it will be in the next general election I am sure).
They might still represent the “home” district (maybe even well, for now), but the roots of a disconnect have been planted.
Didn’t Connie Mack hold one of Charlie Christ’s old seats?

Doug – that’s obscene! How could you link to a photo where some woman is blocking a better view of Mary Bono Mack!

The real scandal is Mary Bono’s breast implants. Silicone Valley literally donated to her perky PACs.

We have a Senator Wyden here in Orygun with the same problem, married a wealthy woman in NYC. They have two children, he owns a 1200 sq. ft. condo in Portland where do you think he lives?

Anything affiliated with Ariana Huffington or celebrity sites is automatically suspect. If that picture is the best they can do, they ought to start reading the National Enquirer.
