NEW YORK (AP) – Public servants who venture downtown this fall may leave blushing: A show that highlights four big political sex scandals is coming back.

“Tail!Spin!” – the hit of the 2012 New York International Fringe Festival – will begin performances on Sept. 18 at Culture Project starring “Saturday Night Live” alumna Rachel Dratch.

The show skewers former Wisconsin Sen. Larry Craig, onetime New York Rep. Andrew Weiner, ex-Rep. Mark Foley from Florida, and former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.

The script – by Mario Correa, a co-host of Entertainment Weekly’s daily “News & Notes” program on SiriusXM – uses only the public comments, tweets, statements, instant messages, e-mails, and text messages from the disgraced politicians.
