This post, written by Howie Klein, originally appeared on Down With Tyranny!

The Buckeye State Blog has revealed that the next member of Congress who will be revealed as a client of the DC Madam's, the way David Diapers Vitter (R-LA) was, will be a Republican member of the Ohio congressional delegation.

If you remove Senator DeWine, freshman Jim Jordan, and the 2 women-- Mean Jean Schmidt and Deborah Pryce-- from consideration, that leaves 8 possible perps: Steve Chabot, Michael Turner, Paul Gillmor, Dave Hobson (too old), John Boehner, Pat Tiberi, Steven LaTourette, and Ralph Regula (way too old).

Most people Every single person we've contacted so far says it's Boehner.

Digg!

Are ALL Repugs gay or philanderers, or just the noisy ones?

Oh, please let it be Boner, er Boehner...Now that we've gotten rid of that mouth-breather, DeWine, the convicted criminal of a governor (rated worst in the nation by Time) and several other Repugnicans, can Mean Jean and Mike "Whatever Tom DeLay Wants" Turner can't be far behind. There's hope for Ohio yet! The state that stole the 2004 election -- we have much to atone for.

It isn't that their behavior is unique

We, who have been around a while, all know that this type of behavior is not unique to Republicans. The problem with discovery and the joy from us of having them discovered with (ahem) their pants down is that it shows their blah blah to be so hypocritical. Here is Boehner as Minority Leader of the House who just happens to be one of the biggest takers of lobbying funds being caught breaking one of the Commandments which are so important to so many of the Christian Right.

Boehners two faces

One is Mr Morality while the other is a two faced sanctimonious sellout to any lobby willing to give him cash. Tobacco money on the floor of the house, who wants a check for a vote? Come on guys. Now we find he too has a thing for the hookers. What a surprise. Now where is the masseuse or male escort willing to come forward with a story of gay sex with Boehner, now pronounced as it should be,Boner. This seems to be the Republican modus operandi. Rail against premarital sex, gay sex, consensual sex between adults, anything but missionary position with the little woman, all the while they do just the opposite in private. I don't know why the repugs try to pry into peoples private lives but do whatever the hell they want and expect no consequences. I can't wait to hear what Big Johns fetish is. Any Guesses?

Explains EVERY SINGLE one of his untenable indefensible positions on every possible topic over the last few years.

Good riddance to Nazi garbage.

Who,s Agenda is Served?

Both the British Parliament and its American equivalent have been usurped by an alien agenda. The 'Agenda' is enforced by blackmail.

First comes the compromise e.g. a filmed embarrassing sexual tryst .. or money with dubious antecedents that just happens to be made available when some readies are needed to solve a personal short term liquidity crisis.

Every human situational temptation is exploited in quest for the compromising evidence of the 'feet of clay' ..

Most of us are hypocrites .. we profess one thing yet we do another .. It is with predictable monotony that small fry dirty underclothing is submitted to the public top loader and sudsy rhetoric .. imagine the spine chilling effect on those further up the ladder who have much further to fall.

When seemingly rational men and women vote for rapine and plunder one understands clearly that the fix is in. Who profits from this?

Exactly who's agenda is being served?

Paxman

...paid off then and still paying off now?

Just imagine being a Chief Executive with all the dirt on every person in the house and senate? ...and you've loaded the home team with manipulators and cronies out for a giant payday and axes to grind?

I'm just wondering what could happen?...
...especially with the perfect storm coming...
