No one should be surprised that the newspapers in New York and New Jersey aren't reporting on the FBI investigation of Sen. Menendez for using underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic where prostitution is legal.

He's also the senator who employed the illegal immigrant who also was a registered sex offender but got the FBI to hold up arresting his employee until after the election.

If Menendez had been a conservative Republican, the New York Times would be calling for his resignation.

When a 'liberal' Democrat abuses underage girls, it's considered career enhancing.

Of course, the Drudgereport has the story.

Democrats don't have sex scandals - Republicans are just puritanical witch hunters who try to make political points by exploiting the sex lives of Democrats.

Now if he was Republican yes!!! Then that would be a scandal because Democrats, those bastions of moral behavior and sexual discretion, need to protect society from those right wingnut sexual deviants.

If you have the evidence, press charges and convict him.

Until then, I'm not gonna waste my time.

what would constitute evidence?
The testimony of multiple women claiming to have had sexual relations?
The testimony of one woman claiming to be raped?
How about a stained dress with dna matching the assumed perpetrator?

Nah, it's just sex when it is a Democrat (tell that to Patraeus)

I've been scouring the net for any information that would be worthy of publishing. Even FoxNews is having problems reporting anything of consequence.
The FBI is declining to comment on newly emerged documents that appear to show the agency investigating allegations that Sen. Bob Menendez "received the services of young prostitutes" while in the Dominican Republic -- a charge the senator's office has rejected for months.

Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, confirmed to FoxNews.com that her organization forwarded information on this issue to the FBI's Washington office and Justice Department criminal division on July 17, 2012.

"I believe that they started an investigation based on the information we forwarded," she said. Correspondence between the supposed source and CREW was also posted online this week. Sloan confirmed the authenticity of those emails.

Still, Sloan raised concerns about the credibility of the source, saying she is "increasingly suspicious" about the alleged facts in the case.

"He refused to ever be contacted by us by phone," she said. "It's really easy to make a lot of allegations. ... who knows ... if that's even a real person."

She said CREW is no longer investigating.

Again, get the goods and press charges. Menendez isn't my senator, he doesn't pay me, and I have no interest in saving his ass. Don't know him and he's not a friend of mine.

The End. Waaa...waaaa....waaaaa.

The point isn't the alleged actions of the Senator, but the left wing media's silence, compared to the coverage they would give such a story if the senator were a Republican,

The left wing media is engaging politically biased journalism.

Yeah, cause the Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner sex scandals went completely unreported by the MSM. LOL.

Have you ever considered for 2 seconds that there's actually nothing to report?

Were they male or female prostitutes? The DR is where Limbaugh was caught with a bucketful of illegal viagra, and is a destination country for sex tourism.
