But what was he doing in a hotel room with this woman in the first place?

Here's another one from the IOKIYAR file, this one involving U.S. Rep. Don Sherwood (R-Hypocrite):

A woman alleged in a call to police last fall that U.S. Rep. Don Sherwood had started choking her while giving her a back rub at his Washington apartment, but no charges were filed, according to a published report.

The encounter between Sherwood, 64, a four-term Republican congressman, and Cynthia Ore, 29, of Rockville, Md., occurred on the afternoon of Sept. 15, according to a copy of a Washington Metropolitan Police incident report obtained by the Wilkes-Barre (Pa.) Times Leader.

''Based on interviews with both parties and no physical evidence of injury to (Ore), there was no probable cause to make an arrest or reasonable cause to believe (Ore) was assaulted,'' the incident report stated.

But police also said in the report they did not receive a full account of events.

''Both parties have left out significant information or are not willing to discuss in detail what actually happened,'' the incident report said.

Of course the wingnuts will say that this is a private matter, and since no charges were filed, it's no one else's business. And I'd be inclined to agree, especially since it seems to involve some kind of S&M thing that went awry, if Sherwood were not part of the Hypocritical Sex Police Brigade.
