Politicians take people\’s money with a promise to fulfill desires that supposedly can\’t be attained any other way. Prostitutes do the same, though by reputation, they are more reliable in delivering. It\’s not surprising for people in the same line of work to gravitate toward one another, as Eliot Spitzer and a woman named Kristen reportedly did in a Washington hotel room.

Tim – can you respond on CiF please?
Your fishing examples bogus. is that the best you can do?
I wasn’t aware that hookers threatened to kidnap you if you didn’t give them money with no promise of anything in return!
Governments on the other hand do.
In fact socialist governments extort money from people and use it to harm the people who pay most.
I suspect that this woman named Kristen has done more for human happiness in her career than Spitzer ever achieved.
My , my – the envy of the lower classes.
Kristen for president.
Chris, by helping to bring down the appalling Spitzer she’s certainly made everyone in the New York financial industry a lot happier.
There is a difference:
Politicians: You pay them for the priviledge of them screwing you.
Hookers: You pay them for the priviledge of you screwing them.
