Political Sex

Karima El Mahroug is the prostitutedancer at the center of the most recent/on-going sex scandal encircling Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. It was reported that she was paid by Berlusoni to dance for and have sex with him and attended sexy “bunga-bunga” parties. But now she has gone on one of the TV stations Berlusconi owns to set the record straight; from this story:

El Mahroug described Berlusconi as a benefactor who, because he took pity on her, gave her an envelope filled with 7,000 euros after she attended a chaste dinner at his mansion last Valentine’s Day, during which the prime minister cracked jokes, sang, and listened to her problems. “He never laid even a finger on me,” she said on Wednesday. “I don’t understand why people need to see nastiness where nastiness doesn’t exist.”

See, he’s just being a nice guy; bringing a 17-year-old belly dancer to his house and giving her money and jewelry. Get your minds out of the gutter perverts! And as for her being a whore:

But she said she had never worked as a prostitute — though she had tried once and failed when she yelled at a client. 

I hate when prostitutes start yelling. But I try not to let it hurt the mood.

(doesn’t he remind you of the actor who played the Mayor of NY in Spin City, no? F-U then.)

So another politician has admitted to having an affair. Senator John Ensign from Nevada boned down with a campaign staffer, who he has yet identify. And the staffer is married to one of Ensign’s former legislative aides. From the Washington Post:

Ensign, a member of the Senate Republican leadership, disclosed the affair at a hastily arranged news briefing in Las Vegas, his home town. He flew home yesterday morning after informing GOP leaders on Capitol Hill of his impending announcement, missing a vote on tourism legislation considered important to Nevada’s casino industry.

I imagine that aide sitting on his couch, watching the news, his wife in the kitchen – ‘Honey, you should see this.’ ‘What is it dear?’ ‘John’s in trouble, he had an affair.’ (plate crashing) ‘You okay. Anyway, it’s so weird, they say she worked on his campaign, and was married to one of John’s aides. That’s like us, isn’t that weird.’ ‘Oh, yeah, that is weird.’ ‘I wonder who it was… I bet it was Robertson, his wife looks like a slut.’

The part of this story that everyone will be talking about:

In 1998, as a House member running against Reid, he called on President Bill Clinton to resign after revelations about his affair with a White House intern. “He sent taxpayer-paid staff out to lie for him, and that is a misuse of office,” Ensign said, adding that the president had “no credibility left.”

A hypocrite in Washington is pretty rare. Make a note of this one; it’s like seeing Haley’s Comet… This may not happen again in your lifetime.

Just for clarification, I have no idea who is on Ensign’s staff. If there is a guy named Robertson, I just picked a name at random. And if he’s married, I wasn’t really calling his wife a slut. She might be one, I don’t know. How could I? I’ve never met the woman.

I bet the staffer is hot. This guy’s used to premium tail. Just check out his wife:

Not bad, huh. Except she has giant triceps. Why is she so obsessed with working out? Maybe that’s why he cheated. He’s probably like me; I’m not into buff chicks, but I’m not into heavy girls either. I like the soft, bulimic look.
