Unless it's a typo and they meant kidney-shaped faux Gucci handbags.

. . . or faux Gucci bags made out of kidneys??
One point I'd neglected in my first attention to this story: "All but one of the officeholders are Democrats."

Let's see now-
The Democrats can be responsible for Corruption scandals.
The Republicans can be responsible for Sex scandals.
Sounds fair and balanced to me.

I don't know? "Duke" Cunningham who represented my district before he was Azkabanned was accepting payoffs for decades.
The Republicans can be responsible for Sex scandals.
And, of course, the one they still trot out to try to defend themselves a decade later, Bill Clinton.
But, Hilary, you're right on as of the last few weeks though.

Read the paper this morning and they read real kidneys - the in the body kidneys (well in this case out of the bodies). They would give poor folk in Isreal $10,000 for a kidney and sell it for up to $160,000 in the US.

As previously stated, there has to be a special place in Hell for people like that.

Not just the number of elected officials, but the supposed holy men who could do this!

Unfortunately, all 50 states have, at one time or another, engaged in fraud and corruption.
