Democrats had a tough night.

The Central Intelligence Agency admitted Thursday that its spooks hacked the computers of senators and their staffers who were investigating "war on terror"-era torture and detention allegations against the agency.

John Walsh looks and sounds like a senator. The Democrat, who replaced retiring Max Baucus earlier this year and is running for reelection this fall, leans on his 33-year as a decorated combat soldier. But like a senator, he may have cheated and stolen to keep that career on track.

In a rare show of bipartisanship between Republicans, blue dogs, and embattled Democrats facing tight elections, the Senate overwhelmingly approved a bizarre plan to use federal funds to encourage shooting on public land and exempt lead bullets from pollution guidelines.

Back in 2012, the Daily Caller whipped up a scandal around Democratic New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, who, the conservative blog alleged, liked his prostitutes Dominican and underaged.

This was predictable.

Deep South, y'all!

It's no secret that Democrats in Mississippi, consigned to losing the general Senate election in November, turned out Tuesday night to support incumbent Republican Thad Cochran against a Tea Party primary challenger. But in doing so, they may have run afoul of state election laws.

Mark Harris could win North Carolina's GOP Senate primary next Tuesday. If so, he may easily become the state's next U.S. senator. And he could do it all with sketchy "love offerings" from parishioners caught on tape passing the hat at the church where he's a pastor.

Mark Begich, Alaska's lone Democratic senator, is up for re-election this year, and if the political winds are to be believed, his opponent may be someone very, very familiar.

Equal pay for women: It is an idea that is still ahead of its time, in the United States Senate, in the year of our Lord 2014.

Pigs' testicles. Joni Ernst has held them in her hands. And chopped them off. Won't you please consider voting for her to be the United States senator from Iowa?

According to a report in McClatchy, the CIA secretly monitored computers used by Senate Intelligence Committee staffers that the spy agency had provided for the review of thousands of pages of classified documents.
