And so, the Democrats hit sixtyish Senators. So I think you could call yesterday a peak — particularly because the valley is coming, and quick.  I mean, not to be a wet blanket, but…

Sen. Daniel K. Inouye’s staff contacted federal regulators last fall to ask about the bailout application of an ailing Hawaii bank that he had helped to establish and where he has invested the bulk of his personal wealth.

Dan’s been pushing his luck for decades.  But the timing of this news?  Perfect.

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford said Tuesday that he “crossed lines” with a handful of women other than his mistress — but never had sex with them.

He said that during the encounters with other women he “let his guard down” with some physical contact but “didn’t cross the sex line.”

Sandy Eggo may be famous for its epic beach riots, but we were upstaged Friday night by sleepy Cardiff up the road, where it took eight squad cars, a chopper, and more than a few squirts of pepper spray to put down a rockin’ house party. Before the night was over, two of the rowdy celebrants were arrested for talking smack to the cops.

One of them was 60. The other, 62.

For that matter, most of the guests were also sporting AARP memberships. And, well, the neighbors say they didn’t hear a thing until the deputies pulled up. All but one, anyway.

Turns out the party was a fundraiser for a local Democratic congressional candidate, held at the home of the organizer of a local tennis tournament. $50 minimum, valet parking. The local rag calls the play:
