A recent news article reports “East-Cleveland Mayor Eric Brewer is in the midst of a reelection campaign where it will be decided next Tuesday whether or not he stays in office. That’s why the pictures posted below are so damaging, and that’s also why Mayor Eric Brewer thinks something foul is afoot. The pictures, when compared side-by-side with other pictures of Mayor Eric Brewer, appear to show Brewer wearing high-heels, lingerie and a wig in overtly sexual poses. It’s not illegal, but it’s definitely not the kind of thing you want coming out right before an election. That’s why Brewer thinks the photos were leaked by a political enemy who wants to see him lose the upcoming election.”

Well finally the Democrats are making an effort to reclaim their stranglehold on the “pervert party” title. The Republicans were making a strong effort to take away that title after Congressman Mark Foley’s “Gay-e-mails-to-the-male-pages” scandal, Senator Larry Craig’s Gay foot-tapping scandal, Governor Mark Sanford’s fling with a Buenos Aires reporter and Senator David Vitter’s fling with a New Orleans’ hooker.

In the last few weeks, the Democrats have made a strong effort to shame themselves. The sex scandal involving Senator John Edwards spectacularly reemerged. Apparently the aide to Edwards who claimed to be the father of the mystery baby (that some people were attributing to Edwards during Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004) has recanted his claim and now says Edwards is the father. The New York Post reported that Edwards was telling his mistress he would marry her on a rooftop in New York with the Dave Matthews band playing –as soon as his current wife died of cancer of course. Just when you thought lawyers couldn’t get any slimier.

Now the mayor of east Cleveland has helped the Democrats to surge forward as the party of perverts thanks to the release of his transvestite photo collection. Way to go, Dems!! A few more scandals like that and you’ll be way ahead again. (Maybe it’s time to start a Third Party to replace the two embarrassing old ones.)
