"This is the woman who revealed last week that the executives of Wall Street firms receiving taxpayer bailout funds have been charging $2000 an hour call girls on their company credit cards, which means it is hidden as a business expense, and ultimately comes off their taxes!"

3. Disclaimer: HEyHEY is loaded.......
But this seems to all be pre-bailout. In which case, I don't give a fuck because (Though, morally I disagree with supporting prostitution for many reasons) it is not my place to jusge or thrust that onto people until my tax money is paying for it..... hic.

7. You mean that "paying consenting adults for sex" led to a global economic meltdown ?


No i dont think so.

And if you mean "using the company credit card for perks"... nope even then i would have to say no.

Paying prostitutes with a company credit card is like a company plane. Its a perk, and if the company doesnt have policy against it, its perfectly ok as long as the company is making money, employing people, paying (at least some) taxes.

It becomes objectional as soon as all (or some) of the above are not given anymore.

5. Even considered as a post-bailout scenario, it wouldn't be your 'tax money' anyway...
...unless you are actually a US tax payer?

11. Doesn't mean I can't have thoughts on it.
We helped the auto bailout, but our banks are solid.

6. CEOs, Bankers Used Corporate Credit Cards for Sex, Says New York Madam

Wall Street Exposed as Convicted Escort Boss Reveals Client List of 9,800

By ANNA SCHECTER, RHONDA SCHWARTZ and BRIAN ROSS

February 6, 2009


Wall street lawyers, investment bankers, CEOs and media executives often used corporate credit cards to pay for $2,000 an hour prostitutes, according to the madam who ran one of New York's biggest and most expensive escort services until it was busted last year.

But prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's office chose not to pursue any of the corporate titans, says Kristin Davis, who pleaded guilty last year to charges of running a prostitution business that used more than a hundred women.

"They showed no interest," said Davis in an interview for broadcast Friday on the ABC News program 20/20.

"Some of these guys, I was invoicing on corporate credit cards," she said. "I was writing up monthly bills for computer consulting, construction expenses, all of these things, I was invoicing them monthly so they could.

8. "$2,000 an hour prostitutes"
And the GOPers wanted to whine about union people making "78.00" an hour, were what had ruined our country.

What do we tell the children?

What do we tell GAWD?

Did that guy say "Crack Down?"...cracked me up.
