Man buys bottle of ketchup. Headline reads "Man linked to Heinz corporation."

[Kablooie]

What is this "linked to prostitution ring" crap?

He hired a prostitute. He's not linked to the ring.

[DainBramaged]

1. Was he a Brazillion?

:rofl:


Wait, wait.

He didn't boink her, he was taped "calling" to arrange a meeting.


This is a hit job if there ever was one.

[Bluebear]

2. Perfect thread title.

Exactly.

[chknltl]

3. He is linked to the ring on his finger...

and he is linked to a ringside seat to how MSM treats politicians who get caught straying from that ring on their finger. Furthermore he may be linked to a second ringside seat of being in a federal investigation.

I wonder what Larry Craig's thoughts are on this...I cheerfully look forward to SOMEONE in the MSM posing him that question. (Stephen Colbert: I double dawg dare ya! :evilgrin: )

6. Only if the man in question is a Democrat. If Spitzer was a

repuke the headline in very small print on page 40 would have read "Governor admits personal indiscretion; matter considered closed."

Depends upon what link means... hooked up... chained ... roped

:rofl:

8. Is this a knock on Teresa Heinz Kerry?

At this point in the primaries, I'm a tad confused. :evilgrin:

[Xenotime]

9. I have a packet of Heinz...will I be called to testify?

[orleans]

10. i bought some organic heinz on sunday. guess i better get ready

to testify too.

[orleans]

11. no, no, no. this is really serious shit. it's called the "mann act"

he transported her over state lines (new york to d.c.) in order to have sex with her. it's a federal crime.

"The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), in reaction to the news, said the Mann Act "carries a penalty of up to 20 years imprisonment for knowingly persuading or inducing any individual to cross state lines for the purposes of prostitution."

spitzer could REALLY be fucked by this.

[DainBramaged]

12. Is that like a mancrush? (AKA Tweety?)

[orleans]

13. no--mancrush is when tweet swoons over the assumed scent of

fred thompson's aqua-velva

[Skittles]

14. don't they have hookers in his own state?

WTF IS GOING ON?

[orleans]

15. yes, that is where he got them! he just wanted someone to take a little

trip with him to d.c.

he was probably there all of one night--and you know, after one night it can get reeeal lonely.

[Skittles]

16. OK then - don't they have hookers in DC?

WTF IS GOING ON? :o

[JI7]

17. he wanted one that would do specific things i guess

like his request the prostitute would do something that is not really safe. someone suggested it could be unprotected sex(his wife should beat him up if that's true).

i think with this service he thought he could do it all without getting caught. they could arrange everything for him and he would be able to get away with it.

also, 30 thousand isn't much to him . i guess it would be similar to other people just spending 30 dollars or even 3 dollars on something.

one thing i wonder is if these women from the prostitution ring are mostly foreign from poor countries who resort to this because they don't have many options. if they are it makes it even worse as Spitzer's job should have been to stop these things and exploitation of women like this.

[Skittles]

18. it us absolutely disgusting

I will never understand why people participate in this kind of degradation :puke:

[orleans]

20. my guess--i think the $1,000 - $5,000 per hour has a lot to do with it. n/t

[Buns_of_Fire]

19. Maybe they were all Raptured?

If so, Lenny Bruce would approve. :)
