Did you hear the one...

about the hooker and the politician?

There are many things I do not understand. Sometimes, it's because I don't care. How to knit a sweater, for example. Doesn't interest me. Now, knitting a willy warmer? (Must not digress). Sometimes, I don't put much thought into these things. Like how you could have sex with any official in New York. Too disgusting. But I've thought about this one pretty thoroughly and I can't understand why Ashley Duprey is such a news item. She's kinda hot but that only doesn't earn you the attention of Larry King. Not that the Talkshow Prince of Valium has much to offer but that's beside the point. Maybe it has something to do with being given nearly five thousand big ones to bork the bald gnome who is was in charge of New Yawk.

This ugly... thing took years of life and liberty from consenting adults paying for or being paid for sex. Then, he spends more money than I've ever had to play with in my life on a hooker. The corruption in our government disgusts me.

And it's not an isolated incident. Here in Jefferson county, Alabama, it costs about a hundred dollars a month to be able to take a shit. If that were the market cost of processing crap, I'd be okay. I wouldn't want to work around crud-vapors for cheap. "The Law of Rising Wages Proportional to the Quanity of Poo-Gas in the Workplace" isn't the prob'em though. Government corruption is. Why were millions of dollars wasted on a bond deal in my hometown? Corruption. The people in our government are under the impresson that they can get away with anything, because they aren't peasants.

With that in mind, I quite agree with a certain munkin that Spitzer deserves to be shot. Not for the "crime" of prostitution but for attempting to be King. Everyone is supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law. When a public official flaunts the law while sending serfs to a concrete hellhole for the same offense, he is no better than a third world dictator except by degrees. We have no use for Leviathan, the King without constraints, in these United States. But since hanging public officials by the dangly bits while cutting off their limbs with chainsaws is unexplainably unpopular, I simply I hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And serves every minute of it.

As for Ashley Dupre, I don't see why she had to be dragged into this. The media was yacking on and on about her when I stopped watching the TeeBee and probably still are. That cute, hard working lady of the night will forever be associated with the pinched face of a stain on the US government. Hopefully she's the smart type and can secure some money out of this whole ordeal. However, if her parents and friends are unaware of her profession, it could cause a lot of grief for her. Selling sex for money instead of giving it away shouldn't stigmatize someone socially but it does.

There is at least one good thing here. We finally have a politician chasing a good looking piece of tail. I was more disappointed in the fact that Bill Clinton had such poor tastes. The POTUS should set a better example.
