Vitter, Spitzer, etc.. are saying to society "Listen women of the world, if you did a better job in the sack we wouldn't have to go to hookers".
Listen women of the world, if you did a better job in the sack we wouldn't have to go to hookers.
that's a shitty goddamn thing to say.
Prostitution is the oldest profession, do you think it will go away? should we prosecute whores and their johns? Does it serve any purpose to put Spitzer, Dupre or Palfrey in jail? Should Vitter go to jail?
With the risk associated, why do people hire other people to have sex?
Dockworkers Protest Iraq War
Published: May 2, 2008
Thousands of dockworkers at West Coast ports stayed off the job on Thursday in what their union said was a call for an end to the war in Iraq.
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union said more than 25,000 members in 29 ports stayed off the job. The action came despite an order issued Wednesday by an arbitrator directing the union to tell its members to report for work as usual in response to a request from employers.
“Longshore workers are standing down on the job and standing up for America,” Bob McEllrath, the union’s president, said in a statement. “We’re supporting the troops and telling politicians in Washington that it’s time to end the war in Iraq.”
My son is there and he is constantly on my mind.
Did she feel wrongly convicted? Who knows. I know as a lawyer, people can try and convince themselves that they are not running a prostitution business or that the sex is just optional, etc. They are kidding themselves. It is an attempt at a technical workaround of a law. It is an attempt to violate the law in spirit and purportedly stay within the law in the most technical of senses. That is just silly. Courts have long since dispensed with that facile attempt to pretend there is compliance with the law and the courts use the duck test (quaking like one et al). I wish courts would universally do that with other laws, such as when the Supreme Court says it is ok to throw up barriers to voting to counter the phantasm of voter fraud as opposed to countering actual voter fraud.
I am sure that Palfrey thought she did nothing wrong in the sense that our societies hangups with prostitution are a waste of resources and unfair. In Nevada it is legal and the state has not gone to Hell in a handbasket. The solution to women using their bodies to make a living is not to criminalize the conduct, but to provide ample opportunities to women to make a living in a manner that does not make them feel degraded and worthless, like equal pay for equal work maybe?
Lastly, Vitter is a pig, and the GOP are Giant Offensive Pigs. Clinton was impeached because he supposedly brought shame to the White House by getting a blowjob in the oval office. Clinton hurt his wife and embarrased himself. Lewinsky is alive and well and making handbags. Vitter, by being so cowardly, contributed to Palfrey's depression and now should feel he has some metaphoric blood on his hands. And his high and mighty wife that bragged that she would cut off Vitter's private parts if she caught him with another woman now forgives him and welcomes him back. How tawdry. Talk about a woman with no convictions. It just goes to show, it is usually about the power. Once people have it, they will do just about anything to keep it rather than stand by their convictions and throw out the people that betrayed them.
I wish Ms. Palfrey's family peace in their lives.
P.S. I read jimofthefoothills comment the opposite way. Not that if women did a better job, men would not have to resort to prostitutes, but that the message sent by Vitter being allowed to suffer no appreciable consequences of his actions sends that message. I could be wrong though
P.P.S. no relation to Ann
Heads Up!
They just found the DC Madam dead in Florida, "No indication of foul play"
LOLOLOL! Yeah, SURE! In an Election Year!
Wanna bet McCain was on her list?
...we already KNOW Cheney was!
(if there's ONE thing I've learned from so many of my hunches turning out true, it's this:
If YOU can imagine it, THEY have probably already done it!)
Please, Obama, Waxman, Leahy, Feingold, Kucinich...stay out of those SMALL PLANES!
i see what you meant...
and i have no answers to any of your questions.
We are supposed to be a nation of laws, not personalities.
Maybe, maybe not....but we know some guy named Carnaby in Houston is not going to to be talking about it.
Palfrey had threatened to release the names of well-known clients of her upscale call girl ring in the nation's capitol, and had indicated that Dick Cheney may be one of them.
"No I'm not planning to commit suicide," Palfrey told The Alex Jones Show on her last appearance, "I'm planning on going into court and defending myself vigorously and exposing the government," she said.

"Britton committed suicide in January, days before she was scheduled to stand trial on prostitution charges and be evicted from her $600,000 Ellicott City home. She faced up to a year in prison on each count, but Howard County prosecutors said that if convicted, she likely wouldn’t have served any time."

member of her staff both choosing so willingly to go and meet their Maker
or the 574th time that the " #2 Man in Al-Qaida was killed in some unverifiable location like Somalia.
Let,s see........ Google the A.P. wire Annnnnnd.....
The Al-Qaida story broke 21 minutes before the Hookergate Story.
Well I wonder which story will get the air play tonight.
I doubt a strong-willed, confident woman like Palfrey would have done this, especially in her own mother's backyard.
I would expect her lawyers would have custody of her "black book" and they should be watching their own backs.

IS THERE SOMETHING MORE TO THIS? ARE THESE SUICIDES REALLY MURDER AND STAGED TO APPEAR AS SUICIDES?
THE QUESTION BEGS AND ANSWER.
She threatened to ruin the lives of some big guys for no apparent reason to me and karma caught up with her. She should have just paid the price and kept her mouth shut. She shouldn't have been trying to ruin these guys' lives.
DC Madam = bad woman
BIg guys who paid for the services = didn't deserve to have their names outed
How fair and balanced of the male chauvenist pig, O'Reilly.
Why'd she go out there to commit suicide when she could have done it in the comfort of her mother's home just as easily? I hope that the police are doing a real investigation. Unfortunately, it's Florida.
I also hope Joe Scarborough talks about this. Didn't one of his aides mysteriously die in his Florida office?
she had said multiple times that if she turned up dead it would not be by suicide.
BUT, this is the story people will go by, no one has the balls to question it, and the politicians will continue murdering anyone - Iraqi, Afghani, US Citizen or otherwise, that gets in their way.
This all goes back to the spineless dems who refuse to hold them accountable and makes Pelosi look like a bigger ass for her Impeachment is off the table remark.
