Congress: The world’s oldest profession

Is Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-Fla.) cynical or just honest? Either way, she sure has an interesting job description for herself.

Speaking at the Women Impacting Public Policy conference last week, the second-term lawmaker elicited a roar of laughter from the crowd by recalling an exchange she had with a man on an airplane shortly after she entered politics.

After he asked her what she did for a living, she replied, ever so matter of factly, “I’m a hooker.”

“Excuse me?” came his reply.

“That’s right, I said I’m a hooker,” she explained. “I have to go up to total strangers, ask them for money and get them to expect me to be there when they need me. What does that sound like to you?”

When asked about the remark, Brown-Waite’s press secretary, Charlie Keller, said that although he wrote the speech, “that was ad-libbed.”

“That is perfectly her sense of humor,” he said.

1. Although stupid to actually say, she's right.

That's exactly what politicians have to do.
