Not all hookers all the time, but as your humble linkmongler, I advise against opening the following links around children, your boss, wife/girlfriend/significant other, and anyone else you think might take offense and/or rat you out to Human Resources, since more than a few of them are definitely NSFW.


Bring The Heat brings the Rule 5 this week with Maura Tierney, Laughing Conservative hits the beach with Jessica Van Der Steen, and Fishersville Mike teases us with some Kaley Cuoco in purple. Animal Magnetism changes things up with Rule Five Friday and the Saturday Blondepocalypse, while Reaganite Republican continues his survey of Miss Universe contestants this week with Miss Germany – Alicia Endemann. Randy’s Roundtable has Lisa Jenkins, and Ninety Miles From Tyranny debuts with Perfect and Vintage Late Night Ladies With Guns. Lower The Boom returns with Clothes? Who Needs Clothes?, Eye Of Polyphemus chips in with Emily Van Camp, and First Street Journal has women in uniform from The British Army this week. Subject to Change also returns with some kitchen pix and assorted views from above, while the Valley of the Shadow maintains a Gothic strain as he rattles the tip jar with Monica Bellucci.


Speaking of today’s main topic, EBL has Bob Menendez Dominican Prostitute Rule 5; also, Pistol Packin’ Rule 5, Someone Picked The Wrong Girl, and Super Bowl Rule 5.


A Train Wreck In Maxwell returns with some Rule 5 thickener, The International Edition, Flappers, and Sandra Rinomato.


El Opinador Compulsivo celebrated Groundhog Day by declaring every day Rule 5 Day. Viva El Opinador! This week, Nothing Lasts Forever, Kitchen Nightmare, Corissa Furr, Riley Jensen, a familiar face, rock climbing, legs, Sigourney Weaver, and Jamie Lee Curtis.


Soylent Green extends his congratulations to Novak Djokovic, after which it’s Monday Motivationer Charlie, Tuesday Titillation Laetitia, Aggie’s Nightmare, Humpday Hawt Tessa, a strong contender for post of the year, Falconsword Fursday Marisa, Thank UK, The Corsetcare AR-15, Evening Awesome Tea, and Soylent Groundhog Day.


A View From The Beach fails us yet again with the lack of cave girls, but hey! Check out these freckles! Also, Biden Comes Clean (with bonus Charisma), Some women prefer assault rifles, Even Scandies Get The Blues, Classical Beauty, Photography Lesson, Walkin’ Blues with Joanna Conner, Topless Davos Protest, and Student Uses AR-15 To Save Self And Roomie.


Proof Positive’s Friday Night Babe was Vanessa Williams; his vintage babe was Winnie Garrett. Kate Upton’s Car Wash filled the Sex In Advertising slot, and the obligatory 49ers cheerleaders have been replaced for the nonce with the Women of PETA XXXIII. Dustbury went with Felicia Day and Shamita Shetty, while at the Camp of the Saints, Bob took advantage of my tardiness and sloth to slip Alessia Mancini and the Rule 5 News in over the e-transom. Meanwhile, Three Beers Later has Rule 5 that’s tasty and good for you!


The DaleyGator’s DaleyBabes this week included Megan Ratzlaff (with a Rule 5 roundup!), a girl in a bikini, Melina Perez, Stefanie Morgan, Rachelle Gouldin, Shizuka, Adrianne Palicki, and Toni Braxton. Also, the launch of the new blog: DaleyGator DaleyBabes with fun, sports, and babes!


Thanks to everyone for their linkagery! Deadline to submit links to the Rule 5 Wombat mailbox for inclusion in next week’s Rule 5 roundup is Saturday, February 9. Here’s hoping I can get the post up on time next week. :/

The Wrong ‘Yaneisi Fernandez’? Stupid Media Trick Fails to Clear Menendez

Posted on | February 5, 2013 | 13 Comments

Univision interviews wholesome non-prostitute Yaneisi Fernandez

Well, isn’t this special? “Fernandez” isn’t exactly a rare name in Latin America, and “Yaneisi” is more common that you might have suspected, so when a Univision TV crew barged in on a 21-year-old woman named Yaneisi Fernandez, who was horrified by the accusation of being a call girl who got paid to party down with an American politician — well, what part of “mistaken identity” is so hard for you to understand?

E-mails provided by tipster Peter Williams to the Daily Caller describe a Dominican woman, Yaneisi Fernandez, who was allegedly involved in the underage prostitution scandal now surrounding New Jersey senator Robert Menendez. Univision tracked down a woman by the name of Yaneisi Fernandez at her home in the Dominican Republic; she says she is not a prostitute and has never met Menendez. You can watch the segment, which aired in Spanish, here. The Daily Caller, however, claims the network interviewed the wrong Yaneisi Fernandez, noting that the e-mails in question “never mention whether Fernandez lives in the Dominican Republic” — some of the women mentioned claimed to live in Miami — and that their reporters found twelve separate American directory listings for women by the name of Yaneisi Fernandez.

Look, if I told you that circa 1978 I dated a freckle-faced girl named Peggy with C-cups who could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch, there would probably be enough women who fit the description that you’d never be able to find her. If I told you that I also dated her sister Kathy, that might narrow things down a bit, but I digress . . .

Beyond such hypothetical speculation, this “Yaneisi Fernandez” escapade reminds me of when Brian Ross of ABC News mistakenly identified a Colorado Tea Party activist named “James Holmes” as the Aurora theater massacre gunman of the same name.

Oops!

Evidently, the clever folks at Univision got the absurdly illogical idea that if they could find one young woman named “Yaneisi Fernandez” in the Dominican Republic who had not been paid to have sex with Robert Menendez, then this would prove that Robert Menendez never banged any hookers in the Dominican Republic. And this was instantly trumpeted in major media headlines as having proven just that:

Woman denies being a prostitute, meeting Menendez
— CNN

Woman denies knowing Menendez
— Politico

The effect of such headlines was to suggest that Menendez had been exonerated — the allegations were just a bunch of right-wing “smears,” as he said — and in all such situations, it is my habit to presume that the intent was the same as the effect. The liberal media very much want this ugly sex scandal to go away, and I’ve got a cynical hunch that the senator’s well-connected daughter Alicia Mendendez is helping coordinate the MSM communications pushback, so . . .

Hey, what’s this story about Alicia Menendez? And what’s this latest headline from the New York Times?

Port Deal Pushed by Menendez Could
Benefit Former Aide, Not Just a Major Donor

Why is the Menendez media pushback operation failing? Maybe it has something to with the fact that New Jersey is full of ambitious Democrats who might benefit from the senator’s downfall. And who would move up as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee if Menendez were to get hounded out of office?

So there are Democrats with personal motives to take out Menendez, and maybe there are some Florida politicians in both parties who think they might benefit from exposing the connection between Dr. Salomon Melgen and certain eminent Republicans.

Damned complicated mess, this story. More complicated than trying to date two sisters at the same time. Hypothetically, that is.

Will Jeb Bush Connect With Tea Partiers At CPAC?

Posted on | February 5, 2013 | 30 Comments

by Smitty

Via email from the ACU:

ACU ANNOUNCES GOVERNOR JEB BUSH TO ADDRESS CPAC 2013

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Conservative Union (ACU) today announced former Florida Governor Jeb Bush will address CPAC 2013 – the 40th annual Conservative Political Action Conference. America’s largest gathering of conservative leaders and activists will be held Thursday, March 14 – Saturday, March 16, 2013.

“We are pleased to announce that my friend Governor Jeb Bush will be a featured speaker at CPAC 2013,” said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas. “We look forward to welcoming Governor Jeb Bush to the CPAC stage for the first time in March.”

Governor Jeb Bush was elected Florida’s 43rd Governor in 1998, and was re-elected in 2002. During his two terms, Governor Bush revolutionized the education system to achieve dramatic rising student achievement, provided substantial, broad based tax relief and economic incentives to strengthen and diversify Florida’s economy. He also initiated measures to strengthen families, help the state’s most vulnerable citizens, and protect Florida’s natural resources.

The 40th annual Conservative Political Action Conference, to be held March 14-16, 2013, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, will provide three days of blockbuster speeches, policy discussions and networking opportunities – all celebrating the shared principles of smaller government, a strong national defense and traditional American values. The ACU has hosted CPAC in the Nation’s Capital since 1973, and it now stands as the largest annual gathering of conservatives in the country. For additional information, visit our website at conservative.org/cpac2013, on Facebook at facebook.com/CPACNews, or on Twitter at @cpacnews and #CPAC2013. Media registration (including bloggers) opened on February 1, 2013.

The CPAC 2013 schedule and list of confirmed speakers will be announced in the coming weeks. Previously announced confirmed featured speakers include: former U.S. Representative Artur Davis, former Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuño, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson, U.S. Senator Mike Lee, U.S. Senator Rand Paul, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, U.S. Representative Paul Ryan, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, U.S. Senator Pat Toomey, former U.S. Representative Allen West and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

I don’t mean to pile on the two minutes of H8, but Jeb would need to put himself on the hook for a ridiculous amount of reform to excite me much. Dynasties are contrary to the Founder’s vision, and we’ve had executive Bush presence for something like 20 of the last 33 years.

Granted, they were only piloting the Resolute Desk for a dozen there, but the need for a post-crash reform plan is staring us in the face. So more equestrian, compassionate, Progressive, national greatness piffle is not sought, Mr. Bush.

100,000 Hookers vs. the Alleged Heterosexuality of Robert Menendez

Posted on | February 5, 2013 | 22 Comments

Svitlana Buchyk: Robert Menendez denies having sex with her, too.

A couple of days ago, I got an anonymous e-mail tip to the effect that the real scandal is that Robert Menendez likes sex with young boys. I ignored this tip, figuring that the tipster was a Democrat operative trying to trick me into discrediting myself by reporting a dubious rumour.

You have to watch out for that stuff when you’re covering a heavy story like HookerGate. Remember, during the Anthony Weiner scandal, there was someone — or perhaps several people — trying to obscure the guilty truth by creating fake “girls” who claimed to have been romantically involved with the accused congressman. That whole “Betty and Veronica” distraction was obviously a trick I call the Reverse Ratfuck: Defend the guilty politician by deceptions that undermine the credibility of the accuser.

Hey, just incidentally, did I mention that Neal Rauhauser sent a Twitter message to Anthony Weiner Monday? But I digress . . .

Careful to avoid the Reverse Ratfuck, then, I ignored the anonymous e-mail accusing Menendez of pederasty as probably being a trick, until I saw the pained earnestness with which the New Jersey Democrat denied having banged any hookers in the Dominican Republic:

DANA BASH: One last question. Can you just answer the allegation that has been out there that you…
SEN. MENENDEZ: The smears?
BASH: … that you were with prostitutes there?
MENENDEZ: The smears that right-wing blogs have been pushing since the election. And that is totally unsubstantiated. It’s amazing to me that anonymous, nameless, faceless individuals on a Web site can drive that type of story into the mainstream. But that’s what they’ve done successful.
Now, nobody can find them. No one ever met them. No one ever talked to them, but that’s where we’re at. So the bottom line is all of those smears are absolutely false and, you know, that’s the bottom line.

Let me translate that for you:

“How dare you acccuse me — a suspiciously divorced Democrat who hasn’t been plausibly linked to any woman in a post-divorce romance — of desiring contact with the hot moist nether regions of a young Latina in a country where prostitution is legal!”

That is to say, the denial seems a bit too adamant and comprehensive. Not only does Menendez deny having done the dirty deed with illegally young hookers, he denies doing any hookers at all, as if his only reason for visiting the Dominican Republic was to relax in the warm Caribbean sun with an iced rum cocktail or two.

Dana Bash somehow managed to keep from laughing out loud during that interview, but she must have been rolling her eyes at this denial. The country has a “reputation as a hub for sex tourism.” What McDonald’s is to cheeseburgers, the Dominican Republic is to hired poontang.

It would be very strange if anyone — especially a New Jersey Democrat — went to the Dominican Republic and didn’t bang a hooker.

The common-sense factor must be considered here. Let’s just take a look at the Daily Caller’s gallery of Svitlana Buchyk photos and apply the reliable Ace of Spades test: “Would you hit it?”

Are you kidding me? Elton John would hit that.

Anderson Cooper would hit that.

Liberace would hit that, and he’s been dead for 26 years. Read more

Janet Napolitano In 2016?

Posted on | February 5, 2013 | 26 Comments

by Smitty

Via Drudge:

So, what happens if Hillary Clinton doesn’t run in 2016?
It is hard to imagine the presidential field without a woman contender, and here’s one to keep your eye on: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Napolitano is quietly making it known that she is considering the race, and there is reason to take her seriously.

Yeah, I can see the GOP, Tea Partiers, and basically anybody else with a functioning brain being more than a little motivated to work against Big Sis if she’s on the ticket.

Now, if she brings on Bill Maher as VP, would the double negative somehow work?

Third Option–Term Limits

Posted on | February 5, 2013 | 40 Comments

by Smitty

The Instapundit in USAToday:

There are two possible ways to address this problem. One is to elect people that everyone trusts. The problem with that is that there aren’t any politicians that everyone trusts — and, alas, if there were, the odds are good that such trust would turn out to be misplaced.
The other option is to place less power within the political sphere. The less power the government has, the less incentive for corruption, and the less that can go wrong when the government misbehaves. The problem with this approach is that the political class likes a powerful government — it’s one of the reasons that the Washington, DC, area, where much of the political class lives, is beginning to resemble the Capital City in The Hunger Games, prospering while the rest of the country suffers.

Maybe it’s a variation on the second option, but I predict that the 22nd Amendment is expanded upon to cover Congress, and perhaps even the SCOTUS, in the next couple of decades. As Director Blue pointed out a couple of years ago, incumbency has bred a Ruling Class, and substantially corrupted the Founder’s idea of self-rule. This is disastrous on at least two fronts:

  1. There is no way, given a 300 million+ population, that the number fit to hold office is that small. We can’t be that hurting for talent.
  2. There is no excuse for our system of government to overgrow itself to the point that it takes a professional cadre with a lifetime of knowing where the bodies are buried in order to operate the thing. No. We keep it simple, and we swap out the people in charge at a reasonable frequency so that the playing field stays level.

The bad news is that the voters chose to run us hard aground last November. The good news is that the goal for what to do, restore our Constitution to a representative state, is a straightforward. The exact path we take to get there, whether through or around the GOP, remains to be seen.

Svitlana Buchyk: Mystery Woman in Menendez HookerGate Scandal

Posted on | February 4, 2013 | 18 Comments

Matthew Boyle of Breitbart.com just published a photo of a woman who reportedly “worked” for Dr. Salomon Melgen, the Palm Beach opthamologist at the center of the scandal surrounding embattled Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.). Melgen’s office was raided by the FBI last week, amid accusations that Menendez attended “wild sex parties” with prostitutes during trips to the Dominican Republic provided by Melgen.

The Russian-born woman, Svitlana Buchyk, figures prominently in the prostitution accusations against the scandal-plagued Menendez, who is in line to become chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. Kathleen McGrory and Melissa Sanchez of the Miami Herald reported:

Public records show that a woman named Svitlana Buchyk got into a minor crash while driving a Chevrolet Impala on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables in 2010. The car belonged to Melgen’s wife. Buchyk gave Melgen’s North Palm Beach address as her own.
Buchyk spoke briefly with a Miami Herald reporter by telephone Thursday, saying she had worked for Melgen in the past.
But Buchyk wouldn’t answer questions on the type of work she did, and was eager to defend Melgen — particularly when asked about stories of Melgen’s alleged sexual liaisons with prostitutes.
“He is an amazing person,” she said. “He was always with his family. There is nothing else I can say.”
Buchyk added that many women would have liked to have spent time with her former employer.
“He treated me well,” she said. “He had money. He was very generous.”

The photo published by Boyle shows Buchyk in front of what appears to be Melgen’s private jet during a May trip to Hawaii, not long after a tipster using the name “Peter Williams” contacted an ABC News reporter with allegations about Menendez’s trips to the Dominican Republic, a Caribbean island nation where prostitution is legal and as many as 100,000 prostitutes reportedly ply their trade. In his e-mails, “Williams” described Buchyk as “one of the most regular participants in the activities the Doctor [Melgen] arranges for the Senator [Menendez],” and said the woman “has traveled with them in the jet, sailed with them in the yacht, and has repeatedly visited the Doctor’s house.”

Melgen has a history of spending big money on his mistresses, Boyle reports, noting a 2002 federal court case involving Yuddehiris Dorrejo, a woman on whom Melgen spent $700,000, allegedly in exchange for “an intimate romantic relationship” that began in 1998.

Melgen, who has contributed generously to Menendez’s political campaigns, reportedly owes $11.1 million in unpaid federal income taxes.

UPDATE: Andrew O’Shea at Viral Read has a selection of photos of Svitlana Buchyk, including bikini/lingerie shots.

Amazing, the quality of womanhood available to guys who can afford to cheat the IRS out of $11.1 million.
