So Rep. Joe Baca called Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez "a whore," reports Politico. I guess now the cat's out of the bag. Why is she so offended? Here in the Federal City, it has long been known that Sanchez is, well, perhaps not a whore, in that she doesn't charge, but rather loosely moralled. It goes back to the congressional retreat after the 1996 election when she didn't show up to breakfast because she was in a tent and a sleeping bag with Rep. Colin Peterson. And all the ass-pinching of the male staffers and interns. This is all quite well known. Why not publish it?
