After a few weeks when the alleged escapades of New Jersey senator Menedez with underage prostitutes were out of the headlines, they are back. This time, the Daily Caller, the site that broke the Menendez story, has a lengthy article in which an American call girl explains her relationship with the senator. The hooker also corroborates earlier stories about alleged Menendez sex romps in the Dominican Republic. This is just more of the same when it comes to Menendez, so I wonder if this latest disclosure will drive him any closer to resigning.
One thing is certain, however. We have a senator who is being accused of all sorts of sleazy and illegal conduct. The accusations include (1) frequenting prostitues in DC, a crime; (2) frequenting underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic, again a crime; and (3) taking gifts from a Florida man in exchange for helping that man to secure major benenfits from the government for his company, yet another crime. We know that the FBI has been investigating these allegations. With all this underway, one would think that the New York area media would follow the story closely. After all, New Jersey is a big part of the metro New York market. The local media, however, has barely mentioned this mess. Senator Menendez who may well be a major scumbag and criminal if the allegations are true, is being allowed to go on as if nothing has happened. I have yet to see any attempt by the local media to even question Menendea about the allegations. Indeed, the local media have not even reported on the allegations regarding the prostitutes to any great extent. Don't the people in New Jersey have the right to know what is going on?
