I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Corruption would not surprise me at all. Prostitution and getting caught is what is surprising.

Also does the "involvement IN a prostituion ring" rather than "WITH a prostitution ring" lead anyone else to think that profitting from rather than sex is the angle?

I'm not surprised he would WANT to do it with hookers, he seems fucked up like that, but the convincing yourself you won't get caught, even as you hypocritically catch other prostitution rings, and reach for higher and higher office? That seems ridic.

That's the crazy part to me. although it happens all the time. (I don't think wanting to do it with hookers is even that weird. But to want to so badly that you act on that impulse when you have so much to lose?!?!?)

Yeah, that's the other thing. Although the Times piece was updated and made it sound like he was probably just Client Number Whatever.

NYT has speculation that he is "client 9" mentioned in an investigation.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I am reminding myself that there's no competing with the hipsters and that I might as well not try, especially since I am not built like a rake and am insufficiently emo.

shrift does not need to compete with the hipsters, as shrift is much more kick-ass and transcends hipsterdom. You would look fierce in that coat.

The NYT has updated their story and he was a client, not a pimp.

This is still so much more interesting than my current work "crisis" of who was supposed to call whom and when.

You know, when you are the Gov., aren't there women who will have sex with you for free?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was surprised by the involvement IN, not WITH, which to me made it sound like he was somehow running a prostitution ring, but it sounds like that was just a grammatical error. Actually it sounded a little like he WAS a prostitute, but I figured that was really silly.
