Sex for votes...

Finally! At long last, a Republican sex scandal! Think Progress. Links and a video (Not what you think, dammit!).

Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the FBI is "investigating whether two contractors implicated in the bribery of former Rep. Randall 'Duke' Cunningham supplied him with prostitutes and free use of a limousine and hotel suites." The Journal also said the investigators are exploring "whether any other members of Congress" are involved.

Last night on MSNBC's Scarborough Country, Dean Calbreath of the San Diego Union Tribune - which recently won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the Cunningham case - said that "as many as a half a dozen" members of Congress could ultimately be implicated in the prostitution scandal. Watch it:

This oughta get the 'base' riled up. Lie, cheat, swindle, take bribes, pass laws fer special interests, all OK. Get caught gettin' a rented lay, get lost! Moral values, you know.

Come to think of it, gettin' caught is the one sin none of 'em can abide.

Update:

Go read Digby. This is gettin' juicier by the minute!
