Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) denies that he had sex with a woman in a Brooklyn wine bar.[/font]
Staten Island Rep. Michael Grimm denied reports Tuesday that he had a kinky 17-minute sex romp with a woman in the unisex bathroom of a Brooklyn wine bar.
The Republican congressman, who is single, said he didnt score at The Owls Head in Bay Ridge on the Friday preceding the government shutdown two weeks ago.
I will not dignify this absurd distortion of the facts with a response, the pol said, calling the accusations a Democrat-led smear campaign.
A source said Grimm went to the bathroom only to check on the woman, who was upset. It wasnt 17 minutes, the source added.

- Normally I avoid posting the NYDN, but then I saw his picture and I couldn't resist! I too think ''17 minutes'' was a totally excessive exaggeration......

OK. the original source, the New Yorker article, explains it, and makes Grimm look worse. Much worse:

Seriously? Not really our concern.
