Roll Call is reporting that the DC madam's lawyer is saying Dick Cheney might be on her list of clients. He doesn't say that Cheney is on the list, but he makes a curious statement that he isn't not on the list.

Obviously, this weird double negative raises eyebrows. Was the lawyer asked about a number of different people and stopped on Cheney's name? Did he bring up Cheney's name of his own volition? Does he have another purpose in implying a Cheney relationship?

The implication is clear enough, but, of course, that doesn't mean it's true. These are not exactly the world's most reputable people. And I'm not saying that because she apparently ran a prostitution ring, but because she threatened to reveal the names of all of her clients if they didn't help her with her legal fees. That's just flat out extortion and a really skeevy move. So, who knows if they're playing some game here.

But if Cheney is on that list and he did use the services that were provided and he has been running all of these Republican campaigns on family values, well, then there would be hell to pay. It would be the granddaddy of hypocrisy. It would be the hypocrisy to end all hypocrisy.

And you know one thing Republicans can't stand is a sex scandal. Start senseless wars, get thousands of people killed, break the law, violate the constitution, institute a regime of kidnappings and torture -- that's all fine. But a sex scandal -- and you're done.

I am completely serious when I say that we should not rush to judgment here. I have even avoided shooting in the face puns ... until now. Let's see how this story develops.
