Oops. A state co-chair for McCain's campaign got busted for soliciting a prostitute.

What is it with Republicans and hookers? Can't they get laid on their own?

I think that this is a case of convenience. If you are lonely and want some without having to go through the whole dating thing then why not. I'm glad I'm married because that could get expensive.

There does seem to be alot of Republicans picking up hookers lately.

I have never had to pay for sex. Unless you count flowers, dinners, movies, etc...

Honestly, I just don't get it. I'd rather go without that have sex with a prostitute. The thought is a bit nauseating.

Yes, a member of the Florida legislature (with a long history of anti-gay remarks). And double the fun - it was a male police officer undercover.

Well, despite the fact that no one ever comes out and says "Yeah, I'm looking to have sex with a prostitute, I pay for sex all the time", the industry seems to thriving.

Apparently, unlike buying an iPhone, paying for a little nookie is not something you brag about to everyone who will listen.

And at $275/hour, this Madam was not catering to the working poor, so I expect the thousands of phone numbers in her records have a few front page stories left.
Here's a question I'd like to ask, did Vitter pay for the hookers on his own credit card, did he find a way to charge it to the taxpayers or did a lobbyist pick up the tab?
Because that could change this story from that of a lonely guy in a moment of weakness, to something deserving of prison time.

Yes, in fact most Republican are even married! This is a non story. Infidelity, homosexuality and hypocrasy are party blind.

Seems that we're only hearing about Republicans getting caught with hookers ATM.

I'm wondering if it's because the Republican party always attempts to convince everyone they're the 'party of morality', so when things like this happens, there are always tons of people just waiting to knock them down a peg.

I think they just need to masturbate more. It's legal, free, and it won't make the news (at least, not the news I usually read).

And if Jocelyn (sp) Elder got her way, they'd have learned how in school!

It's great exercise too. Like suave lotion because it never causes chafing.

When natural drives are demonized, then things get a little twisty - Victorian England was a mecca of child abuse. Repubs, who have to run as Xtian saints and soldiers, probably think sex is dirty - leading to cognitive dissonance and hookers.
