Looks like the government watched too many of Vin Disel’s Fast and Furious movies. The Fast and Furious scandal has been brewing for over a year and recently claimed its first victim casualty in Kenneth Melson, the interim director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tabaco and Firearm, who was reassigned over the gun trafficking operation. A second victim casualty was the the US Attonery of Phoenix who stepped down since this was/is a Phoenix based scandal.

Now, some of you may be asking what is the Fast and Furious scandal. Well…Operation Fast and Furious was a gun running undercover bust being overseen by the federal government. The operation was designed to identify illegal gun runners by funneling firearms to them so they could be tracked as they were sold. However, the operation was seriously botched. Several thousand guns ended up in the hands of Mexican cartels and have been found at the scene of the shooting deaths of at least two U.S. border agents AND vast sums of federal money were used to accomplish this massive screw up.

Needless to say the Obama Admin doesn’t want the shit to hit the fan with this little federal operation any more than it already has. There’s speculation that Attorney General Eric Holder’s head may be next on the chopping block, though I doubt it since he knows where all of the bodies are buried. The only was he goes down is if their is a taint that could possibly lead to the President and then he may be offered up as the sacrificial lamb similar to Oliver North, Ronnie Reagan and the Iran Contra affair.

But we’re not there yet. Not yet anyway. However with the election season really getting underway, this scandal story probably has a lot more legs than any arachnid on the planet.

 

Former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin apparently has a thing for black penis:

McGinniss claims Sarah had a steamy interracial hookup with basketball stud GLEN RICE less than a year before she eloped with her husband Todd.

Sarah hooked up with the NBA great, then a 6-foot-8 junior at the University of Michigan when he was playing in a college basketball tournament in Alaska in 1987, the book says. At the time, Sarah, just out of college, was working as a sports reporter for the Anchorage TV station KTUU.

A publishing source told The ENQUIRER that McGinniss claims Sarah had a “fetish” for black men at the time and he quotes a friend as saying Sarah had “hauled (Rice’s) ass down.”

All this from the (unauthorized) Sarah Palin biography by Joe McGinnis that’s due out on September 20th.

Come on, are we really surprised that the chick who once posed with a rifle in an American flag bikini had a “fetish” for black men? Aww, it’s so cliche that I almost didn’t write about it. Almost. You gotta admit, cliche or no, it’s priceless.

 

There has been tons of speculation surrounding which party was responsible for leaking the story of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s secret child. Most had it as Mildred Baena being the responsible party as she was (allegedly) let go after Maria found out about the betrayal. But now TMZ is reporting that Maria Shriver’s people are the ones responsible for the leak:

TMZ has new information from sources connected to Maria. We’re told when Maria found out that Arnold was the father of Mildred Patty Baena’s son, she was “hysterical” and wanted to hold a news conference blowing the lid off the scandal.

We’re told Maria’s friends talked her off a ledge and a plan was eventually hatched to leak the details to the L.A. Times and TMZ.

And we have new information about when Maria found out about the baby. Now we’re told Maria learned about Arnold’s love child in late April or very early May.

The timeline further supports the story TMZ broke earlier — that Maria was miserable in her marriage and wanted out for a long time. As we first reported, Maria was looking at pricey L.A. condos back in January with a Beverly Hillls realtor.

Maria has told friends for nearly two years she wanted a divorce but never pulled the trigger. Maria, we’re told, is now ready to end the marriage.

TMZ goes on to say that Arnold and his people are ticked that Maria leaked the story and they know for sure that the story came form Shriver’s camp. And the plt thickens.

 

So Rogelio Baena, ex-husband to Mildred Baena, spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the entire scandal. The biggest revelation from the interview was that he didn’t find his son wasn’t his son until one week ago. All this time he thought the boy was his biological child:

Rogelio tells ET he thought Arnold’s alleged love child was his biological child all along and that he learned that the boy was not his son only one week ago. He goes on to call the situation a “betrayal” and “Arnold Schwarzenegger for me, [was] my hero… Maria is destroyed.”

Married to Patty for ten years, today Rogelio says he’d like to tell his son, “I am your father. That’s all.”

I find this interesting because when you look at the divorce papers Mildred checked that their were no minor children born in the marriage. So how did he miss that? Has he been paying child support all these years? What?

When asked how he felt about Arnold Schwarznegger he had this to say:

Angry! Very, very angry! Arnold Shwarzenegger, for me, was my hero. Now, I feel betrayed.

 

Oh political sex scandals are no fun these days. Folk are always  quitting before things get good. Case in point Governor Rick Scott’s appointee, Carl Littlefield, to the Agency for Persons with Disabilities just bailed before an inquiry into how he handled a sex scandal in Hillsborough County could begin:

Littlefield was to appear at 9 a.m. this morning before the Senate Children, Families and Elder Affairs Committee where chairwoman Ronda Storms was expected to question him about his role in overseeing a group home for the developmentally disabled that allegedly permitted residents to have sex with each other.

Now granted this isn’t your typical sex scandal. And fundamentally i don’t see anything wrong with allowing the residents to have sex with each other..even developmentally disabled one…but goodness what happened to the days when politicians use to channel Jennifer Holiday and say, “….I am telling you I’m not leaving…No No No No Way….” and then wouldn’t leave until you impeached their asses and even then that didn’t always work.
