Indiana State House Majority Leader Jud McMillin — invariably described as a “rising star” in the Republican party — has speedily resigned after a cellphone video of a sex act was reportedly sent to people in his contacts list.

At long last, former Virginia delegate Joe Morrissey has acknowledged the extremely, extremely obvious: that he had a baby with his former secretary, 19-year-old Myrna Pride. This follows a bizarre incident last week where Morrissey handed a reporter a photo of himself, Pride and the baby, dressed in what looked like…
Once upon a time not all that long ago, former Virginia delegate Joe Morrissey served six months in jail for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was accused of having an affair with and impregnating his teenage secretary, charges he’s always unconvincingly denied. And then yesterday, he handed a reporter a…
Last month, Missouri Southern State University abruptly shut down its internship program at the Missouri State Capitol. The reason behind that move became clear yesterday, when the Kansas City Star revealed that (Republican, married, anti-gay) House Speaker John Diehl was sexting a college freshman intern. A story as…

Fresh off a meeting at adult film studio and perhaps the most ill-advised bikini photo shoot in the history of bikini photo shoots (most of which are ill-advised), Anthony Weiner's e-mistress Sydney Leathers appeared on Howard Stern's show today where she talked metric tons of shit about her former pretend paramour.…
For a guy who ostensibly lies a lot, Anthony Weiner is remarkably bad at lying. And, uh, answering questions.
When men in the public eye engage in unsavory sex stuff, there's a choreography to navigating the path to redemption they're automatically afforded — the tight-lipped presser, the pledge to attend therapy or recommit to religion or husband the shit out of their wives, and then, after some strategic radio silence, the…
If you haven't heard the allegations that Minnesota State Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, a faithful proponent of the GOP's crusade to define marriage as a state of tenuous forbearance between a man and a woman, had an "improper relationship" with a male Senate staffer, chances are you've been paying pretty close…
Sharon Bialek, the first woman to publicly accuse Herman Cain of sexual impropriety, was served eviction papers yesterday.
