Photo scandal erupts over Rep. Mary Bono Mack
A celebrity gossip website on Friday posted a photo that it claims shows Inland Rep. Mary Bono Mack in a "playful, but compromising" position.
In the photo posted on RadarOnline.com, a woman is seen with her tongue extended toward the chest of another woman. Both women are clothed in the image, which the website said is from four years ago.
The website claims that the woman with her tongue out is Edra Blixseth, a well-known businesswoman who, according to campaign finance records, has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Republicans, including Bono Mack, R-Palm Springs, and her late husband, former Rep. Sonny Bono.
The other woman is purportedly Bono Mack, who is beginning her eighth term in Congress, representing Moreno Valley, Hemet, Murrieta and Riverside County's desert communities.

The FBI has been investigating Edra Blixseth's financial activities, though no charges have been filed.More:
