$1000 an hour hookers are NEVER skanky.

*One* was! That's the point - Spitzer's hooker was outed and we
saw her.
Yechhhh! He wasn't just a ****ty hypocrite, he also overpaid
and had lousy
taste in women.

Catch her at a really bad time? Or she can suck start a
Harley...a croquet ball through a half mile of garden hose....G

She has to have some kink she is good at that earns her that kind
of money.

That's actually correct and perceptive.

The laws of supply and demand don't go away, no matter how much
and how many
wish it.

Still, not my cup of tea. Have a look:

You consider THAT a skank?????

tch tch tch....I take it you either like men, or have been poreing
over the airbrushed goddesses in Playboy.

Thats pretty good looking. Even by california standards.

$1000/hour good-looking? Really? Ooooooookay!

Since you seem to be the Authority on good looks and services, whats
her speciality?

She's a dog strangler, like you.

What the **** does that mean? Is that a turdworld ******** bit of slang
of some sort?

This is silly. Power corrupts.

And Democrats in power are absolutely corrupt.

The Illinois governor, Daniel Wallace, who is serving prison time is a

That would be Dan Walker, who was jailed for savings and loan stuff done
after leaving office. It's a great read considering that now his conduct
would be considered almost normal and he would get a bailout...

I'm about as Libertarian as you can get, and of the few real reformers
I've seen in my life Walker has to be near the top. Democrats just hated
the guy for dismantling the machine and marginalizing Cook co. power.

He's living in California now (released) and if "doing something right
before you did something wrong means anything" he should get a pardon
before he passes on.

I'd have to say that Mayor Washington shook things up pretty good. I go
back to the days when Daley (the first) talked his friend into closing
Riverview for a short time (bad crowds, wrong color). It never re-opened...

Nah, let's talk about Republican family values, because that's the
platform that they run on. It seems the more they repress their
instincts the more perverted they get, huh?

Lets talk about Democrat Family Values as well. Its something that they
too have run on. It appears the more they violate them, the more the
rest of the Dems applaude them.

Republicans kick out their pervs. Democrats reelect theirs.

He still created the monster. It's surprising how many defective idiot
followers WAFA has. On the other hand, he may not be as much of an
asshole in the other groups.

Also interesting fact (I use the word fact lightly)
According to the FBI only 48% of the murderers in the US ever
serve time.... in recent history 50% of the IL Gov's will
serve time.. so... you are more likely to go to prison if you
are elected as Gov of IL than if you committ MURDER!!!! :-)

I am glad I now live in South Florida... a beautiful little
Banana republic where we expect our politicians to be on the
take.... Look out NJ... we are coming up fast in the outer
lane!!! you could be #4.
nail on head

True! I am so mortified that my proud home state of NJ is
getting eclipsed by places like Illinois.

We need a PR firm for our corruption. We need better and more
newsworthy corruption.

But how do you compete when your closest neighbor elects a
governor who made his name tracking down prostitution rings,
then gets caught in bed with a skanky $1000/hour hooker?
We have our work cut out for us, all right. The trouble is that
our corrupt politicians don't think big enough. We've become
small-timers in the bigger scheme of things. Our guys think that
a new cabin cruiser, season Jets tickets, and a couple of bimbos
serving drinks in the luxury suites at Yankee Stadium is living
in corrupt luxury.

What we need is politicians who know what they can command in
the marketplace. Maybe we can get them some help from MLB
players' agents.

Ed Huntress
Ed, I think you have come up with a new profession, a corruption
and take manager for politicans. The cover name for the office
is political expiditer. Politicians themselves seem to blow it
when it comes to being on the take.

John
I still think that hiring them from the ranks of MLB players'
agents is the way to go. If they can get $82.5 million for A.J.
Burnett, they can revolutionize New Jersey's political corruption.

Ed Huntress
I wouldn't bet my last dollar on Illinois or Lousiana being the
"most corrupt" states.
I dunno. I'm still cheering for NJ. But the FBI must have some basis
for making the judgment. We'll have to ask them.

I see no reason to trust any agency connected to the Bush
Administration Justice Department. Which is not to say I think Blago
should remain in office.

Do you see any good reason to cross post?

Salmonbait

I'm crosspost neutral. Once in a while, though, it does bring in a new
poster more interesting than, say, the pack of jackals.

Do they need your personal info? They may have missed it the first time.
