Just Another Day in the "Garden" State

The news today is that the FBI is investigating New Jersey Democrat senator Robert Menendez for allegedly frequenting child prostitutes in the Dominican Republic.  Here is the link to the article in the Daily Caller that has all the details.  So far, the only defense being offered is that what Menendez is alleged to have done is legal in the Dominican Republic.  This makes the second time in just a few months that revelations about Menedez have appeared in the press.  First, it was disclosed that Menedez had illegal aliens working in his senate office.  Now this mess with the prostitutes surfaces.  Not surprisingly, the investigations were all kept under wraps while Menedez ran his campaign for re-election last fall. 

What is it with the Democrats in New Jersey?  First we had senator Toricelli who had to resign from the ticket due to "problems" related to ethics.  Then we had Governor McGreevy who used to go to rest stop bathrooms on the Jersey Turnpike for anonymous sex with men he met there.  Then there was governor Corzine whose company just happened to lose around a billion dollars in client funds while he was CEO.  Now we have the marvelous Mr. Menedez and these investigations.

If there is any truth to the allegations, Menedez ought to resign.  Hopefully governor Christie can find someone who is not ethically challenged as a replacement.  Then again, it is New Jersey, so who knows?
