Whores Totally Cool, Gay Stuff Not So Much



Remember Senator David Vitter? A few weeks ago we learned that he used to spend time banging hookers. The Louisiana Senator apologized for “a very serious sin in his past.” What he meant was that he was having sex with a prostitute and, according to phone records, was even calling the DC Madam while he was on the House floor making votes.


This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible. Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there - with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.


Of course, his fellow Republican lawmakers let it slide. No slap on the wrist for Vitter. And why should they? He apologized to them and to God. Also, the statue of limitations had passed, so he was free and clear. How does one respond to a religious man who spent his years trying to legislate morality and then gets caught screwing hookers? His fellow Republicans gave him a standing ovation upon his return to the Senate. That is some quality douchebaggery, there.

Now, lets take a look at Senator Larry Craig. Things did not go so well for him when he was arrested in a bizarre gay bathroom sting operation at the Minneapolis airport. As soon as his Republican colleagues learned of his illegal gay activity, they demanded he resign.

Craig has since claimed he is not gay and has filed papers to withdraw his guilty plea and fight the charges. He will most probably win the case because all he did was tap his foot near a cop’s foot. It will be a tough crime to prosecute. But his fellow Republicans don’t care whether or not he is going to withdraw his plea and fight the charges. They want the gay dude gone.

So, here’s the crime scorecard. Vitter admits to having sex with hookers and there is even evidence that he called for whores while he was voting on the House floor. Standing ovation. Larry Craig pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor because he was scared that the media would discover his arrest. He then said he would fight the charges. He is forced to resign. One man was having straight sex, while the other was looking for gay sex. Both are crimes, but one got lucky with the statute of limitations. Not hard to figure out what the problem was with Craig.

But the heat is about to be turned up on David Vitter. Another prostitute claimed she had a four-month “sexual relationship” with the Senator. Because her claims could not be verified, the charges went away. But now it looks like they are coming back.

Larry Flint paid for the hooker to take a lie detector test, which she passed. Today he will hold a news conference with the prostitute to reveal the results. They will then challenge Senator Vitter to take his own polygraph.


Ellis said Monday that she took the polygraph test because Vitter tried to impugn her credibility at a news conference in July, when he denied news reports about his involvement with prostitutes in New Orleans without being specific.


Please don’t impugn the credibility of the whore. That is not cool.

And it gets better. Flynt is paying Ellis to detail all her fuck sessions with Vitter. They will be published next spring in Hustler. The magazine made sure Ellis passed the lie detector test before they offered her the deal.


Ellis said she met regularly with Vitter in the French Quarter apartment and that he paid her through her pimp, Jonathan, whose last name she did not know. She said Vitter met her through the New Orleans Escort Service.


Sadly, Vitter was not a freak.


Ellis said she and Vitter had safe sex and that he did not have any unusual proclivities. She said he paid $300 an hour for her services.

"He was a very clean man," Ellis said. "He came in, took a shower, did his business and would leave."


Boo. Why couldn’t he just shit on her chest once? It would have made this a lot more fun. Either way, as much as the Republicans and Vitter want this to go away, it’s not. And the same can be said for Larry Craig, as he gears up to fight the charges. Keep it in the news as long as you can, boys. And don't forget, one is good and the other is bad.

It's precisely because he does understand the ramifications of the word, that he made the comparison. If you paid attention, you'd realize that it wasn't simply the word "whore" to which Prinkly objected, so much as the way in which it was employed in the article. I.e. some white guy using it to sound edgy.



Jesus, is this hilarious. I'd rather have my dick cut off than call myself edgy - but good for you and your completely off the mark comment.

Know why I used the term "whore?"

1) Because it is another term for prostitute. In all my articles I will use different terms to describe someone so I do not become repititious.

Wow, there is no 2.

Now, get the fuck over yourselves, you creepy Australians.

I do so care what you think. Please think I'm "edgy." Please! It would mean so very much to me if random people in the world think I am edgy, even though they have no idea of my real identity.

That's why I use the word "whore," because it is soooooooo "edgy."

At the point where you choose to engage your brain, please ask it to note the notion that I'm not objecting to the use of the word "whore".

It's more to do with your smarmy greasy superiority, as though second-rate comedy writing is somehow a more noble profession than providing people with orgasms

I.don't mean to put shit on second-rate comedy writing -- just putting it into context.

Actually, I apologise. From reading your posts, it never occurred to me that you might be a comedian. I thought you were just another of those wannabe a pundit blogger types.

But it still doesn't make your attitude towards sex workers tolerable.

I was actually pretty surprised when FTR made the whore remark in the way in which he did. I wasn't really aware that whores (or, perhaps, sex workers in general) shouldn't be thought of as trust-worthy or honest in a criminal investigation.

There was a semi-recent case of a stripper who tried to get a cop prosecuted for forcing sexual acts from her, but the case was dismissed because the jury sided with the defense's argument that a woman who "moves up and down a pole" for a living WANTS sexual attention.

It's that sort of prevailing attitude in America that gets alot of sex workers (and friends') hackles up when someone implies a whore's word is not to be trusted.

Interesting. I do not think I am superior because of my second rate comedy job. I think I am superior because you fuck whores. I find that to be a vial thing to do to another human being. Ever seen the research on how many were molested or raped? You are an awesome individual. Keep helping out the whores with your money. Let me put it another way: The guy who fucks a whore is far worse than the whore. Now do you know where you stand with me? Super.

See, I can never understand why all of this is any different from lame lawyer jokes.

Many professions accrue stereotypes, pejoratives, and jokes.

Or do you want to tell me everybody would be riding FTR's ass if he had said "ambulance chaser" instead of "lawyer?"

Being offended by a word or words varies by who is on the receiving end.

To say one is more offensive than another is just your opinion. Other people's opinion may vary.

I cannot begin to count the number of women I know who will call a guy a "dick" but are horrified if they are called a "cunt."



+1.

It's a fair fact to say in America that some words are much loaded than others, even though the power of any offensive word only depends on what the person on the receiving end construes it to be, as TheGringo pointed out. Reminds me of a study they did, which I read about on the BBC a couple years ago, where people in Britain rated the word 'wanker' and 'tosser' as minimally offensive, versus 'fuck', which was more offensive, versus the worst one of 'em all, 'cunt.'

You're getting him mixed up with princkly

I've never been a brothel client, or used a hooker's services, but I've recently hung out with an SG friend who's a hooker (with a total heart of gold, as per the cliche) and had a great time doing so. It might behoove FTR to think who he's writing for.

EDIT, Just FTR ("for the record"), I'd be making these posts even if I hadn't hung out with a hooker-friend. I'd still be writing this stuff on principle. As it is, now I also have a personal perspective, different to princkly's, but personal nonetheless.
