A photo has emerged showing Republican Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack in a sexy pose with a female campaign donor playfully licking her breast. The 49-year-old has represented California’s 45th congressional district in Congress since 1998, following the sudden death of her husband Sonny Bono. (Yes, the Sonny Bono.) The woman apparently licking Representative Mack in the picture, Edra Blixseth, is a former billionaire under criminal investigation by the FBI in regards to fraudulent representations she made about her financial worth to several banks.
Gossip website RadarOnline.com obtained the photo, which was taken at an “out-of-control event” four years ago. One source at the party told Radar: “Mary was partying hard … She was blitzed and clearly having a great time.” Wait a second, this is what happens at Republican fund-raising events? It all makes sense now.
Certainly, Mrs. Mack is free to have her breasts licked by whomever she wants without judgment or fear of political consequences. But, the local Sky Valley Chronicle describes Mack, who is married, as “a family values lawmaker,” and the photo is at odds with her public image. The Huffington Post points out that partying with a woman at the center of a criminal investigation could also have negative consequences for the politician. In any case, Mack now joins a Hall of Fame of politicians with Internet- and sex-related “scandals” that includes Krystal Ball, Christine O’Donnell, and Aaron Schock.
Incidentally, only a week ago Mack wrote a blog post on the Hill in support of an unregulated Internet. She explained:
Really putting her money where her mouth is now.
