July 13-15, 2007 -- GOP sex scandal meltdown
Republicans in four states have shown the "party of family values" is actually a party of hypocritical perverts.
Louisiana Senator David Vitter is reeling from the fact that his phone number appears five times on the so-called "Washington Madam's" list between 1999 and 2001. Vitter has also been identified as a regular customer of New Orleans prostitutes and some of them claim that he liked to wear diapers during his trysts.
There are a number of Republican leaders in Louisiana who are hoping Vitter will resign and they are proffering a deal whereby Democratic Governor Kathleen Blanco would appoint a Republican in Vitter's place. Former Republican Governor David Treen is being mentioned as a possibility. Such a deal would keep Connecticut's Joe Lieberman holding the balance of power in the Senate, where the Democrats hold a razor-thin 51-49 majority.
Vitter, if he resigns, would do so in a letter to Senate presiding officer, Vice President Dick Cheney, who WMR has been told by a number of informed sources engaged the services of the same Washington escort service in the 1990s while serving as Halliburton chief.
Next to be identified was Robert "Bob" Allen, a Florida state representative who serves as John McCain's presidential campaign co-chair in Florida. Allen was arrested in the men's room of Titusville Veterans Memorial Park after he tried to pay an undercover vice cop twenty dollars in exchange for the opportunity of performing oral sex on the policeman. Allen has already kicked off a campaign to run for the state Senate.
Next on the chopping block was North Carolina state Representative David Almond, who resigned his seat after serious misconduct charges surfaced. Republicans are being tight-lipped about the incident involving Almond but rumors are circulating that it involved the representative exposing himself to a female aide who resigned immediately after the incident and filed a complaint with the House Speaker's office.
Then came a police raid on the Borough of Queens, New York office of Queens Republican councilman Dennis Gallagher. New York police collected DNA from the office after a woman claimed Gallagher raped her there. Gallagher is married with children. Gallagher is a former member of New York state's Crime Victims Board.
