Priceless.

Here’s Rep. Louise Slaughter ruminating earlier today on the rash of sex-related scandals that have bedeviled New York in recent years – from former Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s prostitution problem, to former Rep. Vito Fossella’s out-of-wedlock baby scandal (the congresswoman mistakenly says he’s from Long Island; it’s actually Staten Island) to former Rep. Chris Lee’s recent Craigslist debacle.

“We’ve sure had a hard time with the district, though, haven’t we?,” Slaughter said. “…We’re pretty well known in Washington. Several people have asked me what’s going on up here.”

“…We also had one congressman, you know, from Long Island who had a second family nobody knew about and when he retired they say he said he wanted to spend more time with both families.”

“And so, I think the answer to that is to elect more women.”
