Question: If Anthony Weiner should resign, how about Mary Bono?

Posted by Charles II on June 9, 2011

Anyone remember this? Or is it too far back in the antediluviuan past, i.e., January?

Mary Bono partying hard

And maybe her husband, Connie Mack, should resign in shame, since he is tainted by association with her? Or is marriage too remote an association to taint a person?

Just asking.

(Thanks to Adrienne for the memory jog).

Correction: 6/11: The photo emerged in January. The wild party where the photo was taken was four years ago. Also, I have elsewhere stated incorrectly that Bono is the licker. She is the lickee.

    And there’s this, too:

    House Speaker John Boehner has yet to weigh in on Weiner, but if he does, he may have to answer questions about the $5,000 he gave to Vitter in 2010. Boehner was one of only three House Republicans to donate to Vitter’s campaign.

    In July 2007 Vitter admitted, first in a letter and then at a press conference, to have used Palfrey’s prostitution service when he served in the House of Representatives from 1999 to 2004. Vitter was also revealed to have scheduled prostitution appointments during House roll call votes. Vitter had previously denied having an affair and paying for prostitutes, citing family problems for his withdrawal from a bid for the Louisiana governorship in 2002.

    After the Palfrey revelations, a New Orleans-based prostitute, Wendy Yow, came forward and revealed that Vitter had regularly used her services after he was elected to the House in a special election to replace Rep. Bob Livingston, who retired to become a lobbyist after revealing his own affair.

    […]

    Other lawmakers who may be thinking twice before calling for Weiner’s resignation include Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), John Barrasso (R-Wyo), John McCain (R-Ariz.), John Thune (R-S.D.), Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo), Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Dave Camp (R-Mich.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas). Each contributed to Vitter’s reelection campaign.

      There’s a dynamic operative in Washington that changes things a bit, PW. The House and Senate regard each other with near-enmity. They refer to one another as “the other body,” to emphasize the near non-existence of their rivals. So, don’t expect Senators to comment on anything having to do with the House.

      If they do, of course, they’re fair game.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
