Callers dialing for N.J. Democrats get sex chat offer instead

NEWTON, N.J. (AP) -- A misprint in a telephone book has led to some callers dialing a phone sex service while trying to reach a New Jersey political organization.

A listing for the Sussex County Democratic Committee in Embarq's white pages sent people to a sultry female voice inviting them to pay for sex chat.

Embarq spokesman Glenn Lewis told The New Jersey Herald of Newton that a transposition error caused the last three digits of the Democrats' phone number to be misprinted.

He said the listing has been corrected in Embarq's directory assistance database.

The organization's 800 number listed in the book's yellow pages was correct.

1. Some mistake....

This is probably just another petty trick from the failing GOP.

2. Didn't something similar happen during Kerry's run?

It sticks in the back of my mind, but that's not saying much. Remember that they overloaded the lines and did all kinds of stupid tricks with telephones. I thought there was a porn line involved, too.

3. So how many callers bought services?
