re: #96 What, me worry?

This makes me really cranky. I have some questions.

Why should anyone believe the sordid details told by these women who would do anything, including sleeping with men, for money? How much did the TODAY show (and there were others) pay the prostitutes to give their tell-all story? And how brutal were the brutes who paid them $800? They weren’t complaining about it then. How much does $800 American buy in Columbia? A hellofa lot. How much more can they get if they “tell their stories” and who is going to say it isn’t true?

What the Secret Service did is despicable. There’s no doubt about that. It’s embarrassing to the president, to put it lightly, and to the U.S. as a whole. These guys were boneheads who jeopardized many reputations just to get a little sumfin sumfin.

But if you think I’m going to believe any word that comes out of a hooker’s mouth, I’m not.

I’m rather taken aback by what you say here. Are you saying that just because a woman is a sex worker, never mind that what she is doing is apparently legal where she is, she is somehow less of a person or less reliable than someone that doesn’t do sex wok? Are you really implying that because they were paid by the agents, they have no room to talk or complain or speak ill of them? I’m sorry, but that all is extremely offensive and degrading to every person that has ever been involved in sex work, willingly or not.
