The Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics in Washington became the latest today to call for Rep. Vito Fossella's immediate resignation and is also seeking an investigation into his potential use of public funds to conduct his extramarital affair. CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan deemed it "reprehensible" that Fossella only admitted his "two families" in the wake of his drunk driving arrest. She also slammed former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, saying he was "apparently aware of the affair." "While in office, Mr. Hastert extolled his party’s devotion to family values," Sloan said. "But when did covering up your colleague’s adulterous affair become a family value?" "We still may not know the full extent of Mr. Fossella’s wrongdoing. Were campaign contributions or congressional funds diverted to help finance his additional family? While this may be nothing more than a private tragedy, this situation clearly calls for a thorough investigation by federal authorities.” Republicans who have been the targets of CREW's criticism have slammed the organization, calling it a liberal front group and noting that Sloan used to work for Chuck Schumer, John Conyers and Joe Biden. (Just thought I would get that out of the way before the incoming assault). CREW generally responds it is an equal-opportunity critic, unleashing on Republicans and Democrats alike. ...

See the old chart. Vito's almost ready to join! Back in March, when the Spitzer scandal was at its glorious peak, we were compelled to invent the Politician's Too Much Information Index in recognition of the fact that, ever since Bill and Monica, we've all been forced to learn much more than we'd like to about the intimate details of politicians' sex lives. Vito Fossella may not be a governor or a president, but his story has clearly reached the lurid point that demands induction into the Index. And so we present this breakdown of what we know so far about Vito's secret life:
Necessary Info: Arrested for drunk driving. Maintained an extramarital affair for years, developing into a secret second family living in Virginia.
Important Info: May have used tax-payer money for a trip with his girlfriend to France .
Useless Info: Was mean to his gay sister .
Titillating Info: Impregnated mistress Laura Fay while his daughter Rowan (by his wife, Mary Pat) was less than 1 year old.
Too Much Info: At the start of their affair, when Fay was an Air Force liaison to Congress, their sexual fling was so mind-blowing that she couldn't function at work and got transferred.
Please, No More Info: Thank God we haven't reached this point, yet. But it's inevitable. This week, probably.
Almost there, Vito! Just one little revelation about Halloween masks and an Eskimo sex slave and you'll make it!

DRUNK, ILLEGITIMATE BABY-MAKING CONGRESSMAN IS PITIFUL: According to the New York Daily News , still-active Rep. Vito Fossella of New York, who likes to get drunk and make babies with women who aren't his wife, is "hiding out in a tiny apartment above a garage at his sister's Staten Island house." [ NYDN ]

Representative Vito Fossella still has not uttered a peep about whether he's going to resign or stay on as a member of Congress in the wake of his DWI arrest and admission of having a love child and girlfriend in Virginia. But here's what's happening since yesterday! His crisis consultant says, "Congressman Fossella appreciates the support of so many people, including Guy Molinari, but he has not made any decision yet. And he continues to spend time with his family."
The Daily News reports the feds are investigating a trip Fossella made to France in January 2003. It's suspected he may have traveled with girlfriend Laura Fay--and the House is also looking into Fossella's various trips (Fay had been military liaison to the House).
The GOP is anxious and is expecting his resignation as early as today , however WNBC's Jay DeDapper writes that a NY Republican says the Staten Island GOP "Staten Island GOP is like a 'mob family' and that it will do what it (and Fossella) wants."
Newsday reminds everyone that in 1987, married-with-four children Bronx state senator--and county GOP chair--Guy Velella admitted to having a love child with an Albany girlfriend AND "won reelection eight times over the next 17 years."
And Fossella's court appearance scheduled for today has been postponed .
