Maybe he can go work for David Vitter.

Republicans: so desperate to screw the working class, they’ll even occasionally pay for it.

Thank you. I mean, normally, I could give a sh*t about prostitution provided we’re talking about adults involved. BUT, - given the fact that the GOP has branded themselves as the party of “Family Values” as you say, this needs to be highlighted every time.

Only because he was caught.

I’m living in Thailand much of the time. It’s so alien that a man would get in trouble for spending time with a woman seeking cash. The risks one faces would be more of getting robbed maybe, on a one-night fling.

Nicer Thai women do look down on a prostitution lifestyle, but no one would ever get really angry at a man for having a GF of sorts he would see quietly once in a while who would want money. Least of all the police.

Well I’ll come right out and say it LOUD:

“Tut-tut!” There. Got that off my chest!

I thought Her thoughts and prayers could undo the problem. They don’t work?

And of course they’re constantly portraying the Democrats as the party of debauched, mindless, godless, materialistic, live-for-the-moment hedonism. It never, never fails.

I mean, it’s not like he was soliciting campaign donations, which cause a tangible long-term committment. This was to be a one-time payment for interpersonal services rendered.

I thought he was arrested in DC and thought that was odd. It’s hardly unusual. Turns out, he was arrested in Nashua. Glad to see the police there are on the job.

I’m betting the hooker was for Senator Ayotte herself. This guy triumphantly fell on his sword to protect her.

Yep - party of “family values”.

16

Shouldn’t SHE be in jail for prostituting herself to the Kock Bros.?

See, Ayotte should “woman up” and put together an old-fashioned tent revival. If it don’t work she can toss in a witch doctoring exorcist and a pair of snake charmers to guarantee spiritual restoration. And he can become a man of Jesus, healed!

But, uh, what’s he gonna do if he’s travelling around during the Lord’s work. offering spiritual counsel to comely daughters of His love and he struggles in righteousness to ignore their nubile bodies…but he falters and suddenly he gets that big bulge in his pants again?

Well played, Sir! I think you win the Internets for this one.

More religious liberties for all.

Also, I was wondering whether the prostitute had incorporated his/her business and could be considered a corporation?

I’ll bet that Wihby has made many, many comments in person, on Twitter, and on FB saying exactly that.

The problem is that Republican voters and their politicians don’t give a rat’s bleeding ass about hypocrisy in actions. All that counts are the words, especially if they’re interspersed with enough Jesus talk.

The staffer attempted to obtain a prostitute for sex … unlike Ayotte and her fellow Republican legislators who routinely politically prostitute themselves to the Kochs.
