Krystal Ball Photo Scandal, Ball Blames Rival

Ball blames rival for photo scandal

Krystal Ball, a Democratic Congressional candidate from Virginia, has blamed her opponent, Republican Rob Wittman, for posting scandalous photos of her on a Republican blog last week.

The photos show Ball with a man, identified as her ex-husband, at a Christmas party six years ago. Ball wore a spaghetti strap tank top and skirt, while the man was dressed as a reindeer with a red phallus for a nose.

Ball said the photos were taken when she was just out of college and had not considered entering politics.

Wittman has said he ordered the photos removed from the site, and Ball believes it is all part of a campaign to embarrass her and cost her the election.
