Fire The Help But Not The Senator

Remember the scandal earlier in the year where there were Secret Service agents in a sex scandal? Prostitution in a foreign country, while on duty or something?

There were people that were saying those agents should lose their jobs for it. Among those people was Sen Menendez of New Jersey.

"If the facts are true, they should all be fired. The reality is is that the secret service not only protects the president of the United States, they represent the United States of America. They were on duty. If the facts are true as we are reading in the press, they shouldn't have a job."

Fast forward to the present time. Sen Menendez now has a chance to put his principles where his mouth is. He should fire himself, if the facts are true as we are reading in the press, he shouldn't have a job.

Two women from the Dominican Republic told The Daily Caller that Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez paid them for sex earlier this year.

In interviews, the two women said they met Menendez around Easter at Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000-acre resort in the Dominican Republic. They claimed Menendez agreed to pay them $500 for sex acts, but in the end they each received only $100.
...
When shown a photograph of Sen. Menendez, the women said they recognized him as the man with whom they’d had sexual relations at Casa de Campo this spring. Both said they were brought to the resort with the understanding they would be paid for sex.

Neither knew the identity of the man at the time. Both claimed to recognize him later as Sen. Menendez.

“He called him[self] ‘Bob,’” said one.

They could be "recognizing" a doppelganger, right?

But as we say here often, But wait, there's more.

Menendez’s 2012 public schedule shows no events listed for Easter or the following three days. Aircraft records obtained by TheDC show that Melgen’s plane left Florida the morning of Easter Sunday this year, stopped at the Teterboro private airport near Menendez’s home in New Jersey, and flew on to the Dominican Republic.

Two days later it returned to the United States from a private airport near Casa de Campo.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Menendez will find some rationalization for why he should not suffer the same fate that he demanded of the 'help'. Fire the Help for being involved in a sex scandal, per Menedez, but don't close the Senator's office...it was just a sex scandal.
