Just for Poker??
New York Daily News - Home - CIA boss Goss is cooked: "WASHINGTON - CIA Director Porter Goss abruptly resigned yesterday amid allegations that he and a top aide may have attended Watergate poker parties where bribes and prostitutes were provided to a corrupt congressman.
Kyle (Dusty) Foggo, the No. 3 official at the CIA, could soon be indicted in a widening FBI investigation of the parties thrown by defense contractor Brent Wilkes, named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the bribery conviction of former Rep. Randall (Duke) Cunningham, law enforcement sources said.
A CIA spokeswoman said Foggo went to the lavish weekly hospitality-suite parties at the Watergate and Westin Grand hotels but 'just for poker.'"
Putting this in the appropriate context...Advisor to the President goes to parties where there are prostitutes but doesn't partake of their services. Uhh. Are we supposed to believe that? Why would anyone, even a councilman of a town of twenty, risk hanging out where there are prostitutes unless he were to at least get a little of what they were offering.
So in a two day period, the two major parties are asking the public to believe that a Kennedy did not drink and drive and that a man said no to prostitutes. While America may be dumbing down, we haven't gone that far yet.
