Mary Bono Mack Caught In Sexually Suggestive Photos

Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.), widow of former congressman and musician Sonny Bono, was recently caught in a set of sexually suggestive photos with a scandal-plagued former billionaire.

Radar Online, which has exclusively obtained the pictures, explains the wrinkle that is likely to be more significant than the six-term congresswoman showing a little cleavage:

The woman apparently licking Bono's breast is Edra Blixseth, a disgraced former billionaire who is at the center of a criminal investigation probing whether she made fraudulent representations about her financial worth to a number of banks.

In a scandal set to rock Capitol Hill, RadarOnline.com has learned the image was taken at an out-of-control event four-years-ago, at Blixseth's $75 million Porcupine Creek estate in Rancho Mirage, California.

According to Radar Online's sources, Mack "was blitzed and clearly having a great time" at the function.

One acquaintance, Julie Bornstein, Mack's 2008 congressional challenger, expressed little surprise over the pictures.

"Several women in the California Congressional delegation were embarrassed repeatedly by Mary Bono's behavior and conduct in the Capitol and encouraged me to run because of the embarrassment she brought to the legislature," Bornstein told RadarOnline.com of the pictures, saying that Mack had been known as a "strenuous partier."

I can't say as these are all that lurid. I also don't see any coverage of merit at Radar online.

So what? Maybe if the Right was less sexually repressed they'd be less hostile to everyone. I say there be a mandatory Congressional orgy every 2nd Thursday!

Blixseth donated $1500 to Bono-Mack and got a lick on her breast. Makes me wonder what she could have gotten for a larger donation.

Huff Post should be ashamed to print this meaningless drivel when more important news is happening. Could it be that this is printed because she is GOP? TuT tUT.

Now was this taken before the RNC brought other republicans to a lesbian sex bondage club or after?

She needs to watch her back, Sonny was murdured. It wasn't an accident how he died. Autopsy showed gun shots to his skull and back that were removed from the document to cover it up. If I was she, I would seriously have guards around me 24/7.

What planet are you on? Sonny was on pain meds and had several glasses of wine before waiting for the Heavenly Resort ski patrol to do their sweep so he could do a high speed run down a blue (i.e. intermediate) slope at the end of the day. He lost control and ran into a tree in the middle of that slope and died almost instantly due to internal damage. I was working there when the patrollers were in the locker room and bar and got the call from his wife that he hadn't come down yet.

Why in the world can't we ever see 2 lipsticks together, and not just a lipstick and some croney old butch?

This is nothing and the only person to be ashamed is the one who turned over the photos.

Not particularly 'sexually suggestive'. It might indeed be a tad embarrassing for an elected anything to have drunken pics on the internet, but these are equivalent to a drunken hen party. Hardly the stuff scandals are made of.

The photo is obviously not the real story here; it's the fact that one of her campaign donors is being investigated by the FBI.
