Someone once noted that the only difference between a mistress and a whore was the amount of money involved.
Mistresses, as a general rule, make more -- lots more.
Case in point: Cindy Hampton, the campaign aide nailed by Sen. John Ensign. The not-so-good Senator revealed Thursday that his mommy and daddy paid Hampton about a hundred grand.
That's a lot of walking around money or, in her case, laying around cash. Others say Ensign gave her a $25 grand "severance" package when the affair -- and her job -- ended. Cindy also has a husband and a couple of kids so maybe she needed the money
I worked a lot of campaigns during my time in politics. If I was lucky, I got a "thank you" from the candidate and maybe a trinket as a gift. But then, I didn't screw any of them -- literally or figuratively. None of them were my type anyway.
Sinful Cindy is not the only one to cash in by bedding down an important politician. Monica Lewinsky gave Bill Clinton a blowjob, then got a book deal and a line of handbags named after her.
Rielle Hunter banged North Carolina Senator and presidential wannabe John Edwards and got a $100,000 video contract. Looks like 100 grand is the going rate for political mistress/whores these days.
Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer didn't go the mistress route. He simply shelled out 80 grand over several years for high-priced call girls (translation: expensive whores), including $4,300 for one night with "Kristen — an American, petite, very pretty brunette, 5 feet 5 inches and 105 pounds."
Four grand and change. Wow. She must have been something.
Politicians who think with their balls instead of their brains are nothing new and those who defend their sexual hijinks say that what these bozos go with their own time is nobody else's business.
But let's think about the stupidity of these clowns. These are the same people who make decisions that affect the futures of this nation and all of us.
Can we expect fiscal responsibility from a Presidential candidate who shells out 100 grand for a little on the side? Can we expect maturity from a Nevada Senator who runs to mommy and daddy to help him pay off a lover? Did New Yorkers get their money's worth from a governor who thought a quickie in a hotel room was worth four grand plus?
We elect these folks as leaders and the only place they lead is to the bedroom for some nooky on the side.
No wonder America is in trouble.

What can you say about political whores that spend their time with sexual whores, it takes one to know one?
Prostitutes paying prostitutes, a might bit redundant I'd say.
In another thread it was pointed out that the Reps base has God on their side, would his name be Baal by any chance?
I AM is quite clear on the matter but we know the greasers have all the grease so they'll try to slip this one by the big guy with the old forgiveness Hail Mary toss.. -.
American Voter Reaction: Oh, well...(yawwwwnnnn), everybody makes a mistake every now and then.
The problem is that when these politicians stop screwing their mistresses or prostitutes...they head straight back to their office to screw the American public.
How much screwing do these guys have to do?
The fact that the politicians Washington are assholes isn't evan news anymore. The only news value here is the fact that no one is doing anything about it. What would really be news is if anyone in Washington did anything other than get blow jobs.
JFK messed around. The press knew, but chose not to report.
I would be very happy to not know the sex lives of elected officials.
It's not the screwing around that gets me ticked, it's the utter hypocracy when they then turn to the masses and talk about "family values" and such. And your reaction is entirely indicative of the majority of the American people over what those we vote into office do in our name - especially the previous 8 years.

But, that's just this old curmudgeon's opinion...
They go to church and sing, "Oh How I Love Jesus" and then during the week they practice, "oh how I love", did I say "love"?????????????
Since I am a dirty old man, I want to hear some sleazy stories about our elected females who are in Congress or who might just be in a position of "power". Now that would really get mine old hormones flowing again.
This kind of thing is rampant at all levels of government, not to mention the average citizen's existence. I don't really care what they do, as long as they use their own money - not mine.
What we should understand is the reasons why some are outed (Spitzer) and some are not (Frank). If Spitzer wasn't going after the banks, he'd still be governor and he'd still be boinking call-girls.
WHAT? Barney Frank is GAY? OMG, Stop the presses.
Why would you say that Barney Frank has not been outed? Perhaps the reason he has not been charged with any crimes is because he hasn't committed any.
You may note that Spitzer may have been going after "the banks" but Frank has repeatedly and publicly urged a 25 percent reduction in US spending on defense. I think that if there was smoke floating around Frank the vaunted "MIC" would have been blowing on the embers. Or is the MIC not as potent as "the banks?"
Stratocaster, you hit the nail right on the damn head. I also agree with griff, and the general consensus that these pols are all hypocrites and thieves. Too bad we can't get a decent candidate to run for office. But then, of course, he/she wouldn't get the nomination of a national party (read: Dems and Repubs)- maybe because the party is too busy partying, huh? They sure as hell aren't taking care of the business of government.
