Mary Bono Mack, Republican Congresswoman, in Photo Scandal with Billionaire Edra Blixseth

Mary Bono Mack is involved in a photo scandal with billionaire Edra Blixseth, according to Radar Online. So what does the photo of Mary Bono and Edra Blixseth show, and how much trouble could it get her in?

Radar Online states that the website is in possession of a photo showing the 49-year-old Republican Congresswoman and widow of Sonny Bono in a compromising position. Apparently Mary Bob Mack got a little too wild at an event four years ago when the photo was taken, allowing blonde billionaire Edra Blixseth to lick her breast (although Radar Online states that Mary Bob Mack exposed her bra for the photo, meaning she probably didn't show too much skin).

Still, it can't be good for Mary Bono Mack's career to be shown getting so close to someone being investigated by the FBI. Apparently Edra Blixseth might have made fraudulent representations about her worth to a number of banks, making her the center of a criminal investigation.

The photo of Mary Bono Mack allowing Edra Blixseth to lick her breast was actually taken at Edra Blixseth's estate during better times for the former billionaire, who is now bankrupt and owes millions in back taxes. And it's very possible that the photo could cause some of Edra Blixseth's bad luck to rub off on Mary Bono Mack the next time she comes up for re-election (naughty photos definitely didn't help Krystal Ball, a democratic candidate for Congress, when they were released last year). It's also going to be hard for Mary Bono Mack to begin with, considering that she's California's only Republican woman in Washington. But such a feat still wouldn't help her win favor from Sarah Palin; the former gymnast is a strong advocate of obesity studies and improving nutrition programs. She was also one of fifteen Republicans to vote in favor of repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".

Of course it's pretty scandalous that women over 40 would engage in behavior similar to that of someone less than half their age like Miley Cyrus (who actually had a similar photo that caused quite a scandal leaked), but it might not hurt Mary Bono Mack, already considered a bit of a sex symbol as the seventh hottest politician in the world on Maxim's 2008 list. However, if her career in politics does end, someone needs to convince her and her BFF to get on a "Real Housewives" show, stat!
