Kelly Ayotte, NH Senator, demonstrates why her party is the Moral And Godly Party.

Sen. Ayotte's aide quits after arrest in prostitution sting.

NASHUA, N.H. —The state director for New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte has resigned after he was one of 10 men arrested last week in a prostitution sting in Nashua, officials said.

Nashua police said Sunday that David Wihby, 62, was arrested at a hotel Friday after he responded to a woman's ad on the Internet.

Ayotte released a statement late Saturday saying she was shocked at the arrest of a man she described as "a friend for many years."

Poor Kelly, there she was running for veep (and who in their right mind does that) and everything, and now she has this shit to deal with.

1. Wow he didn't get anything but the hallmark card CYA 'thoughts and prayers'.

Yes pray real hard for everyone involved, maybe God will send some bailout money.

But she saved the A-10 Warthog from extinction! Don't you cares even two bits?

Think of the wars, for once, won't you?

[Xipe Totec]

3. Very poorly written article

Unclear whether Ayotte is a he or a she,

and who was caught in the sting, Ayotte or Wihby.

[99Forever]

6. Funny that.

I had no difficulty telling who was who or what their gender was, at all.

[Xipe Totec]

8. I'm sure that's because you have context to rely on

If you go by the text of the article, and nothing else, you can't make sense of it.

[99Forever]

16. Uh. No.

I had nothing more than what is posted.

I think it's called reading comprehension.

[Xipe Totec]

19. Reading comprehension involves seeing and pointing out the discrepancies

If you saw no discrepancies, you did not read it very carefully.

[Bluenorthwest]

21. The text is clear, and it uses the pronoun 'she' in regard to the Senator.

22. And it also clearly states the opposite in the same article

The state director for New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte has resigned after he was one of 10 men arrested last week in a prostitution sting in Nashua, officials said.

Hence my point.

You can pick and chose which paragraph to read and come to opposite conclusions.

I don't see why it is so hard for people to admit that the writer of the article was sloppy.

[Ghost in the Machine]

7. It states very clearly in the OP who was arrested....

Nashua police said Sunday that David Wihby, 62, was arrested at a hotel Friday after he responded to a woman's ad on the Internet.

I honestly don't know anything about Ayotte, but it doesn't matter because s/he wasn't the one arrested.

Peace,

9. It (also) says very clearly:

The state director for New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte has resigned after he was one of 10 men arrested last week in a prostitution sting in Nashua, officials said.

[Ghost in the Machine]

14. Yes, that was the FIRST paragraph, I reposted the SECOND one, here's the THIRD:

Ayotte released a statement late Saturday saying she was shocked at the arrest of a man she described as "a friend for many years."

{emphasis mine}

I guess that clears up the gender issue for Ayotte. Normally, I would insert some snark about "reading for comprehension", but we both failed to do so in this case... lessons learned, huh?



Peace,

Ghost

[Xipe Totec]

18. As I said, poorly written and confusing

Peace.

4. Prostitution b/w consenting adults should be legal

If that is what was going on here then I fail to see why New Hampshire law enforcement is wasting the taxpayers time and money.

[Ghost in the Machine]

11. While I agree with you 100%, what *should be* & what *is* are 2 different animals...

Just like I think marijuana should be legal and too much taxpayer money is wasted arresting, trying and incarcerating people who sell or use weed, but the law is the law.. until we can get a groundswell of support to change the laws.

For marijuana, I support legalization, taxation and regulation much like the alcohol and tobacco industries.

As for legalized prostitution, there would have to be checks and balances also... maybe a license or something, and mandatory testing for STDs. We wouldn't want epidemics of HIV, Hep C, herpes or anything like that breaking out all over the Country, would we? How about reporting income for taxes?? A 1099 Form??, or should there be licensened "cathouses" where the women are paid, taxed and have healthcare to get checkups?

I know it's easier to just say "hey, you roll the dice and take your chances", as I have done that a million tmes over the years buying and selling drugs, but I'm not willing to roll those dice and come down with an STD... and I'm the one who always says "what happens in my bedroom is between me, her, the stuffed duck and the trombone playing midget on the Unicycle"

Peace,

Ghost

20. All fine and dandy but Ayotte and her party claim the mantle of "fambly values"

and portray themselves as the God Party of Moral Rectitude. So she can own this shit. May the stink be with her.

[guillaumeb]

5. obviously Wihby was tempted by a "fallen woman"!!

Just like Newt Gingrich was tempted 3 times while he was married.

And David Vitter was tempted by "sexy feet".

and Herman Cain was "tempted" to harass several women.

And Mark Souder, a former Indiana Rep who made a pro-abstinence video with a female staffer and was "tempted" to have an affair with that staffer.

And of course General David Petraeus was "tempted" to have an affair with his biographer.

[CTyankee]

10. Oh dear, these poor fallen people...

I love the Souder one a lot! Now THAT is chutzpa!

[guillaumeb]

17. a little more about the poor man

12. I was wrong. I apologize.

Evidently some republicans do give a fuck.

[spanone]

13. the moral majority....

[onecaliberal]

15. It's those republican values.... No morals or ethics
