(VIA) The Wall Street Journal reports that a congressional ethics panel is investigating allegations that Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) sexually harassed a member of his staff. The investigation began after a conservative group "filed a lawsuit as the legal counsel for Winsome Packer, a staffer on a commission Mr. Hastings headed. She alleged that she had been sexually harassed by the congressman and that he retaliated when she tried to report it." Hastings wouldn't directly address the allegations in an interview: "Quite frankly your source has as much or more information than I do and I would suggest you rely upon them. It would be impossible for me in a paragraph or a page or two or a tome or volumes one and two to help you understand the dynamics of these events. I'll leave it at that."
Boom! As you'll remember, I proposed a Congressional sex scandal office pool two weeks ago. Well, we have a winner. Rep. Alcee Hastings from Florida reportedly tried to put the moves on staffer Winsome Parker. Chick is no joke either, I googled her. She's got a four-star book on Amazon for a very reasonable price. The book's title is a bit funnier now: A Personal Agenda. Your boy Hastings was working with a personal agenda, and we see how that's worked out for him. It took TWO WEEKS for the pool to end. I'm not even sure if you could have filled all 535 congressional office squares in two weeks. Takes forever to track down money for those things.
PS: This is the same dude who played Peter Gallagher's sidekick in Mr. Deeds, no?
