But my birthday isn't until November.

Can I just take a moment to say how much I love TPM Muckraker?

Ken Silverstein reports at Harper's blog on the spreading Cunningham-Wade-Wilkes prostitute scandal. He says more lawmakers, past and present, are being investigated. Sounds like he thinks House Intel Chair-turned-CIA Director Porter Goss is one of them:

I've learned from a highly-connected source that those under intense scrutiny by the FBI are current and former lawmakers on Defense and Intelligence comittees -- including one person who now holds a powerful intelligence post. [emphasis added]

Yowzah.

My goodness. The Silverstein piece suggests that prosecutors are in the process of procuring photographs of the parties. Oh God, please please please let this be true. Also from the Department of Hmmm, the limo company used to ferry folks to and from the parties at the Watergate (I know! It just keeps getting better!) is also a Homeland Security contractor, owned by a guy with a 62-page rap sheet. And Karl Rove appears headed for Indictment Beach.

And a pony.

Update: Billmon weighs in.
