The Liberal Thread #2 - No Debate Please

Maybe I'm just cheap, Mugg, but for the life of me I can't figure out what a woman could possibly do to me that's worth 4000 dollars. I would have said, Hey, I thought I was negotiating for female companionship, not looking to bail out GM.
What did this call girl ring do? Steal a page from Disney's pricing guidelines for the nightly room rate at a deluxe resort? It appears Mr Spitzer went for a concierge room with a MK view. In my day I would have been satisfied with a night at Pop Century, possibly an upgrade to a moderate, but I would have wanted a code. I would have at least asked if they offered an AAA discount.

Maybe she charged him the "promise not to tell" premium.

I do wonder if the rate included a free breakfast, though.

No kidding. the only thing I can think of is that the ring guaranteed the "health and safety" of the girls. No drug use, no STD's, that kind of thing, in addition to being young, attractive, talented, and willing.

How about a 'friends and family' discount.

That must be why Jon Corzine paid Carla Katz $6,000,000.

WOW!!! There is a lot of good info in this for Obama. That's some read.

Well, it did include free valet parking. And a T-shirt. That's got to be worth something.

Will someone please open up a discussion of Elliot Spitzer before our friends on the other side of the aisle blow a gasket with anticipation.

They're having a grand old argument about what's being said over here ......... and no one here is talking about it.

I think we rained on their parade big time when no one here defended him. Maybe they'll think twice in the future before breaking out the smilies and popcorn.

Continuing the Disney analogy,

I'm figuring it was an annual pass, a park-hopper at the very least.........

In this one case it does show how fiscally responsible the Republicans are when it comes to sex scandals. Larry Craig was just looking for a bargain in the men's bathroom at the airport and you really have to applaud how frugal he is. Same with Mark Foley sending naughty PM's to those young men. These sexual diversions were all done with the best interests of the American tax payer.

On the other hand you have Gov Spitzer paying over 4000 dollars a night for a call girl. 4000 dollars?? Hasn't this man ever heard of Craigslist?

See!!!!

Well, I suppose you get what you pay for. If you want a guy in a bathroom stall, that's going to cost a lot less.

On the other hand, had he gone to an escort service run by Haliburton/KBR, it would have cost him $239,500, there was no guarantee that she would actually show up, and it's likely that she wouldn't have performed any services when she got there.
And he'd have to leave a tip.

And unlimited Fast-Pass. With the DDP thrown in.
