Ugh. I really wish we knew how these types slime their way into political jobs.

Anyway, as we always knew, democrats have just as much problems here (if not even more so) as the republicans do it seems. Although I am not sure it will do much to Maria Cant(vote)well's career for employing such a sleaze bag.

No, Republicans are still in the lead for pure slime.

Should have tried it in a bathroom.

I dont think so. There really isnt anything more slimy than child rape.

Pathetic. An aide is the best you can do. The Dems must be pretty clean. Hell, "To Catch a Predator" is doing a 2-hour special called "The Republican Caucus Sting" .

Mark Foley anyone?

I was waiting to see how long this would take. i figured I'd let you take the glory for posting this. anyway i don't know what a politician can do to screen for these people. is an interview question something like "do you want to have sex with minors? do you actively pursue sex with minors?"

Mark Foley anyone?

Those werent little kids....neither was Foley ever arrested or charged, because those that he sent his little emails to were adults.

Still sick though....although not quite as sick as this guy working for Cantwell.

How wonderful the state of our politics is when debates come down to who is less horrible rather than who is more good.

Your going to defend a child rapist?

The dems are most certainly not 'pretty clean'. My point is that this type of thing occurs on both sides of the aisle.

If you really want to deny thats the case, then enjoy your own particular little delusion. But the rest of us know better.

YOUR party has more child molesters than mine does!

Alright, I agree this case is much dirtier, but the Republicans have been much more rife in scandals since the beginning of the millennium.

/meh. Its probably more measureable. Who is 'more good' would be a pretty darn ambiguous qualifier.

Corrected for sheet and giggles

Really? This: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_scandals_of_the_United_States#2000- would indicate thats a el wrongo assumption. Since 2000 far more democrats have been involved in scandals than republicans.....but I forgive you the misunderstanding as most of the Republican ones have been somewhat higher profile; so its understandable how you could be wrong.

They are Gods children as well, who am I to cast the first stone

Your style of argument is quite amusing. Of course I never defended child rapists as you well know. I never said that party affiliation had anything to do with sexual misconduct. It is just that on the Republican side you have a number of prominent principles caught up in it and the best you can do is a some dem senators secretary. It's laughable

This link is so badly done. It needs a ticker, Reps vs Dem.

I was bored so focused on the sex scandal part -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_scandals_of_the_United_States#Sex_scandals
25 Rep. vs 19 Dem.

No...its just the most current story. I seem to recall the leftys putting up a 'republican sex scandal' involving some no name state republican party worker who really didnt matter at all...except in the fact that he was a republican.

You taking me to task over this would make you appear quite hypocritcal when libs do the same right back.

And if you say you dont, then that in of itself would be extremely laughable.

Now, you cant just do that....you gotta add in all the democrats stealing da cash too!

Rofl.

And how can you get that many in the new millenium? I only count 17 since 2000?

I'm not that bored. But since the scandal in the OP was a sex scandal, and since the list was better organized, eh...

I agree it's meaningless, though.
