Brothel’s being legal in the locale in question, writing checks doesn’t seem so weird to me.

He wrote them checks?!?

If ever there was a cash-only business….

Because everyone needs to take a break away from the serious on occasion here are a number of (sometimes) thoughtful but always amusing pieces from around the sphere. Enjoy.
Pamela Leavey of The Democratic Daily wants to know how a military parts supp…

Yep how dare that man screw the employees.

Geez, don’t campaigns do background checks? I mean, I understand that maybe to put letters in envelopes they wouldn’t bother, but a field director? Even the most cursory check would bring up a felony arrest warrant.

Won’t hurt Richardson though, I mean, he already stands a nill chance of winning the nomination, I bet you Kusinich gets more votes.

I wonder, though, if it’s fair or even accurate to characterize this as a “Democratic sex scandal.”

Does Forland have a longstanding history of working for the Democratic Party or Democratic candidates? Or, is he just some guy in a very sparsely populated region who volunteered for the Richardson campaign and was accepted because the chances of getting another, better volunteer were slim to none?

Come to think of it, is this really a sex scandal at all? For all we actually know, Forland could be gay or even asexual. His alleged wrongdoing involved no sexual activity of any kind; money handling and bad checks were the problems.

Neither major party can sensibly claim a spotless record where sex scandals are concerned. But this story, if considered a little more carefully, doesn’t serve to balance any scorecard.
