Hey everybody, let's play Scandal Pool!

I was getting bored since it had been a couple weeks since a Repub had a public meltdown, so began planning this...
Then we get the Paul Stanley thing, and a spam dump destroys my post before anyone notices...
But hey, we're still on.

I'm putting up Amazon gift certificates (or other online retailers or charities, if they offer e-certificates) to whatever TPM readers can correctly guess the next political figure caught in scandal. Up to $60 in prizes!
Erica & sweetmolly, please try again and I am so rooting for either of your scandals to win.

1. Date Pool - $10 to the person who (first) correctly predicts the date something breaks
2. Identity Pool - $10 to the person who correctly identifies the skunk. Must be prominent political or national-biased-media person. "Celebrities" are excluded as they live on scandal.
3. Nature of the Scandal Pool. - $10 to the best guess as to the breaking scandal. "Sex" does not do it, too easy. "Longstanding affair", maybe.
4. Hypocrisy Bonus - $10 to the person who can peg a perp who has publicly denounced the very behavior they're busted for (Unpaid Hetero Adultery Exemption: Must have voted to impeach Clinton, a la Mark Sanford, or otherwise been really obnoxious about it.)
5. X-acta Pool: Hit all four of the above for an additional $10.
6. Felony/Resignation Bonus: Additional $10 if a winner of one of the above is publicly arrested or resigns his/her office (not meaningless positions like internal party committees) within 1 week of scandal breaking. "Somebody gets arrested" isn't going to cut it without a name.

Rules:

• Judging done solely by me, though consensus of TPM readers can help. 
• Limit one winner per scandal, except:
• Two people can win in different categories. (identity & date for example)
• If the X-Acta Pool (#5) is not hit because of different winners, I will award two $5 "second-place" prizes in the other five categories, whichever pops up first.
• Expiration: Pool expires when
• $60 worth of prizes are won, or
• when a national health care bill with "public option" is signed into law,
• whichever comes first. So get crackin', scandal -prone politicos!

Post your guesses as a comment. (Yes, it is a shameless bid to get to the top of the comments list - but fun, too.) 

Additional $20 bonus if anyone can prove right-wing "dirty tricks" behind the 7/24 Spam Attack at TPM!

Last one in the pool is a rotten egg!
