Women: Sen. Bob Menendez paid us for sex in the Dominican Republic

[Seriously?]

I wonder how many senators are shi**ing themselves right now out of fear that they're the philanderer about to be exposed.

Pretty much all of them. Scumbaggery doesn't have a party affiliation.

[Seriously?]

Menendez, maybe? Just throwing names out there.

Menendez would fit the bill. And he looks sleazy enough to do that.

I doubt he'll lose though. Half his state has no power and bigger things to worry about.

[Seriously?]

And he looks sleazy enough to do that.

Ah, the DSK principle.

DSK is sleazy enough. Even if he managed to beat the rap in NYC.

Regardless of who it is, if they are dumb enough not to pay their hookers, they reap what they sow.

[Seriously?]

Sounds like tabloid trash to me. Menendez should sue.

Truth is an absolute defense to slander. Menendez is a public figure. Good luck proving actual knowledge that these hookers were lying.

Plus, no politician wants to go down that route for the nasty PR blow back alone.

Apparently Menendez didn't learn from those Secret Service agents that he said should be fired. Pay your hookers in full, buddy.

How does that old adage go again? Those who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones?

In any event, he'll escape this one. Prostitution is legal in the Dominican (as long as there's no pimp involved) and New Jersey is too worried about life or death right now to care about another politician that can't keep it in his pants.

[Seriously?]

Basically the evidence is:

-He visits the Dominican Republic a lot
-The two prostitutes were solicited by a man named "Bob"
-They thought they recognized him in a picture

He should obviously resign immediately. This story is air tight and very convincing.

You forgot one thing:

-The flight records show that a plane linked to his donor buddy was in the DR at the time he was allegedly serviced by these women and Menendez had nothing on his public schedule those days.

Probably enough to make a case.

However, bottom line is that aside from Menendez being a hornball sleazebag and a bit of a hypocrite, this shouldn't affect the dynamics of the New Jersey Senate race to where Menendez loses what amounts to about an 18-point lead.

Folks in NJ have way too much on their plate right now. Their cheapskate hooker-loving Senator should skate his way to victory.

Bottom line: Don't stiff your hookers after stiffing them.
