Another GOP congressman, Rep. Vito Fossella of NY, aka “Vino” Fossella, finds himself facing a small p.r. problem. This is getting to be old news, and I’m frankly growing weary of all the excuses to engage in schadenfreude over the exploits of these pillars of family values.

Once and for all, let those among us who have never gotten shit faced in a DC-area bar, driven drunk, been arrested for it, had our mistress (not our wife with whom we have three children) bail us out of jail, and then been forced to admit that we have a 3-year-old child with said mistress, cast the first stone.

But what if our bastard child is 4 years old? Are you going to lump us all into the same tent? You have to draw the line somewhere about what is “inappropriate” and given that I knocked up my mistress 5 years ago should give me some immunity from your judgmental rants!

Can’t wait for his statement in front of the microphones with wifey beside him. Maybe he will just serve his time and then pull a “Leaving Las Vegas”.

I’m just impressed that there are still Republicans that sleep with other women without paying. I thought the GOP had turned into the Vitter/Craig party…

And I didn’t get thrown out of the DC bar where I got shi*tfaced drunk.

Why does this have to happen? So early in his career, and he’s already bursting into flames. It’s so much more fun when they manage to keep this crap under wraps for a couple of decades, get some seniority, leadership and respect, and THEN burst into flames.

Reflecting back on when my time came, I can’t say I enjoyed the elementary school carton of milk or the orange we had for breakfast at the Travis County Jail. However, the plastic mat and army blanket for sleeping in the middle of the concrete cell floor were much appreciated.

Don’t look at me. The only thing he’s done that I haven’t is get elected to Congress. Way to go Vito! I’ll buy you drink tonight at the regular place. Just tell your wife you had to pick something up at the grocery store.

OK, I’m not as bad as Vito. You can’t blame a guy for having a dream. I’m just surprised his mistress wasn’t a mister. He is a Republican after all.

She USED TO BE a mister. One of those classy New Jersey chop shops took care of his (now her) junk.

There are TWO women desperate enough to breed with this guy?? He must be stinkin’ rich. Poor little bastards must have eyebrows like handlebar moustaches and a 5 o’clock shadow already.

Re: 13. Chilicook

You got a mat and blanket? Sounds like the Hilton. I sat on some Brazos County concrete while some guy in our cozy cell of two dozen slept on about six mattresses. As I recall, I gave him my breakfast too, but that’s all the givin’ i gave.

Pretty soon every possible questionable behavior will be innoculated for, and Charles Manson can realize his life-long dream of running for Congress.

Have we finally come to the point were lying, cheating, sleazy hypocritical behavior a al Gov 5K Johnny Spitzer, Sen. Men’s Room Craig, or Rep. Boys Gone Wild Fessella is no longer a scandal, but a prerequisite for office? Call me crazy, but I like to think out of a nation of 300 million we could at least find 500 people who aren’t ready to be cast as guests on the Jerry Springer show to sit in positions of power. *sigh*

I put crazy assed preachers in the Jerry Springer casting call camp *shudder* With Congressmen gone wild, Rest Stop Governors, and presidents who have access to nukes but can say “nuclear”….what we need is someone with sense, direction, and great taste in pant suits…..
