More Hypocrisy

[Nilsen]

They just need to legalize prostitution and regulate the hell out of it.  We'd quit criminalizing what appears to be a natural behavioral impulse, there would be less prostitution-related crime, less disease transmission, and the govt would get some more tax revenue.  Everyone wins except for the prudes and religious whackjobs, and who gives a flying F*** about them anyhow.

Quoted for truth!

[bozon]

So he wanted a buttery buttery with a hooker. What's the big deal? That he was against it before? He was probably against it because that was what poles said the public wanted to hear.

and I totally support Nilsens quote of eagl.

Freudian slip.

The meeting apparently lasted from 9:36 p.m. ET, when Kristen arrived, until 12:02 a.m..

Two and a half hours.

Indict him? I <S> him.

The outrage should be that his bank ratted him out for having the audacity to withdraw cash from his account. The Stasi federal government agencies proceeded to tap his phones, his email, capture his banking, credit card, travel records and spend who knows how much money on this.

Two things reading this story:

A) rpm is plenty pissed that this guy wasn't a republican.

B) Does anyone ever notice that when the press brings up a story of scandal with a republican involved, they immediately identify the politician as "Republican" within the first sentence of said story...but when its a Democrat, you have to read into about the 7th paragraph to find out their a democrat.

Nah, no transparent media bias there.

In addition to that Rip, Has anyone used in the Media used the word Hypocrite yet.  If it were a Republican we would have heard it right out of the box, the headlines would have read "Republican Family values Senator Hypocritical actions.....blah blah"

Does McGreevey ring a bell?

Yes so 1 Democrat was caught with a gay guy.. How many Republicans? lol I lost count.. However I do remember 1 of the Republican caught was with a women. So it's 1 for 1.

They changed some of the federal banking regs a few years back in an effort to find drug dealers and crime syndicates.  Any HUGE deposit or HUGE withdrawal throws up a red flag now. 

It's not brain surgery...most smart people just stagger out the big deposits or withdrawls over a matter of days.

It isn't that HUGE! 

$3,000 makes you a suspected terrorist, money launderer, tax evader or drug dealer. I don't know how you folks have accepted and tolerated the indignity of that.

[john9001]

he was making withdrawals of large amounts of CASH to pay his hooker, he did that to lose the paper trail of credit cards, checks, etc. Moving cash around is the way people launder money, the FBI thought he might be taking bribes and moving the money this way, the original investigation was not about hookers, it was about bribes and money laundering.


:don't let the little head do the thinking for the big head.

[bustr]

He should have thought ahead and made one large withdrawal. But then as gov he had to sign antilaundering papers and some other criminal activity type of agreements like folks who work in banks. Wife works for WaMu I worked for BofA. But then one large withdrawal a year is not looked at that closely if you keep it $50k or under. It throws a flag, but you need a pattern which was his downfall. After all he has money and spending it is expected for his lifestyle.

On another note...How come all the gays, pedifiles, and perverts want to hang out with republicans and conservitives. Didn't they get the memo that the democrates will look the other way and welcome them in with open something and somethings and those rubber slippy things......

Absolutely correct. It may never even say he is a Dem.

For those thinking this is just a prostitution ring.. it's not. They specialize in rape type prostitution

[JBA]

The Boston Globe doesn’t mention he’s a Democrat until the jump page, that’s when a story carries over from the first page to the next deeper pages. It’s the 8th paragraph.

The New York times dose a little better, it’s in the 6th paragraph but still on the first page.

Not contrast that to Larry Craig. It was mentioned in the first paragraph or even the Headline that he was a Republican, with a  wide stance.
