Nothing like a GOP scandal to start off the new congress. Rep. Christopher Lee (R-NY) has suddenly resigned from Congress following the news that he was sending topless photos to people he met on Craig’s List. For full details of the story, check out Karoli’s post.
The National Enquirer story on John Boehner’s boner came out yesterday. While I haven’t yet seen the entire article (our stores are always late getting the recent editions), something posted in the on-site excerpt really got my curiosity going: But The ENQUIRER learned that Deborah was nowhere to be seen when the ruggedly handsome congressman […]
According to Mike Stark the National Enquirer is set to release a story tomorrow about John Boehner and an affair he has been having with a lobbyist.
