The fifth floor of the Hart Senate Office Building should be known as the Scandal Triangle. And mild-mannered Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, finds himself right in the middle of it.
As noted by the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s “Openers” blog, Voinovich’s office is nestled next door to that of Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, whose home was raided by federal investigators this summer as part of a corruption probe.
Down the hall: Sen. David Vitter, R-La., who was recently implicated in the “D.C. Madam” prostitution scandal.
And across the atrium: None other than Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, whose recent affairs in an airport men’s room have become fodder for late-night humor.
Referring to some space Voinovich has upstairs, spokesman Chris Paulitz told the Plain Dealer, “We’re now claiming the sixth floor.”
