GOP Pundit Outed In DC Madam Scandal
By Logan Murphy Wednesday Jul 11, 2007 11:42am
Remember June 16th, 2006? That's when Burkman got exposed by a couple of girls on MySpace and posted Crooksandliars graphics of Jack to check him out. Her site is set to private now, but Wonkette still has some info...They called him a "CREEEEP"
Via Citizens for Legitimate Government:
The phone number for GOP political operative/conservative pundit, John (Jack) M. Burkman Jr. - Principal J.M. Burkman & Associates, Arlington, VA - appears in the database of phone records of the 'DC Madam.' From the phone logs: 2006-01-15 18:44 1.00
This is the same Jack Burkman who echoed Ann Coulter's disgusting hate rant about the 9/11 widows on Scarborough Country last year.
More information and video at Media Matters:
Summary: On MSNBC's Scarborough Country, Republican strategist Jack Burkman, echoing right-wing pundit Ann Coulter, whom he was defending, declared that "within hours of those [World Trade Center] towers going down," the wives of victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks "were ready to make money and exploit this tragedy!"

frack!
Why does this not suprise me?
if you remember a few years ago he was hitting on some college girls. and was caught when the girl posted it on her myspace
2006? He is a little late to the p parade. Does he drive a used car?
Couldn't happen to a more deserving scumbag.
And true to reich-wing form, this loser blamed "left-wing people seeking to intimidate conservatives and independents" of his previous behavior.
Is it me, or does anybody else see stark comparisons between the collapse of the Roman Empire and the American Empire?
Too bad we don't have a volcano nearby Washington D.C. Then, the parallels would be complete.
Oh My Gawd... Finally someone's wiping that salacious grin off ole Jack's face. If ever a comedown was warranted, he's the creep, er, man.... What is it about these tightly wound apologists for the right wing? They just can't get an honest F---. Small mind, small P----.
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Thieves have stolen nearly $300 million from a bank in Baghdad, police and a bank official said Thursday, in what is probably one of the biggest thefts in Iraq since the 2003 war to topple Saddam Hussein.
The GOP needs that money for call-girls!
So when does Burkman appear on TV again. The popcorn is made.
the GOP's 'party of family values' mantra is still operative... the $$ spent by the likes of vitter and this nutjob on BJs and what not are supporting the prostitutes families. see, that was easy. no hypocrites here folks, nope, none. /sarcasm set to stun
It is getting to the point where any woman who openly admits to being a Republican may just be confused with a hooker.
Nice that karma is proving too be a good thing for some of these hypocrites, it is pleasant too see them reap what they have sown....
Buy or sell: By the day of the 2009 presidential election, 100 more noteworthy Republicans will have been outed as hypocritical white trash scumbag perverts.
I'm buying, though I think 100 is a conservative estimate.
Meant day of the 2008 presidential election.
This is SUCH a beautiful thing!
I knew that guy was scum the first time I saw has face even before he opened his mouth.
daganium @ 15:
2008, 2009 - doesn't matter.
Really, it doesn't matter.
You have to be a sex offender to be a repub pundit or politician
I wonder if Burkman walks around with candy in his pockets.."C'mere little girl".
The "party of values", along with their other attributes combined, are really looking more and more like they should all be members of the ancient Roman Senate.
How soon before calling a girl a republican will count as sexual harassment?
He don't like widows as much as hookers.
It reminds me of an old joke, that with hookers you know what the price is up front.
Yet another prime example of Conservative Values.
I wonder if he goes to church?
Liberal AND Proud @ 20:
Probably. It really wouldn't surprise me to learn that Burkman was caught at some point flashing women or trying to lure little girls with a gummie bear on a string in a park somewhere. :lol:
Are there any Republicans that are *not* lawless perverts?

YES. I've always wanted to believe that the self-righteous, sanctimonious, would in the end get laid low. Karma.

....and still....
Might as well move the capital to Neveda.
Jack Burkman is a complete bastard. One of the most dishonest and smug commentators I have ever seen. It is a miracle that he doesn't have his own show on Fox.
You know, decent people can absolutely be all for fiscal conservatism (in the traditional, not modern, sense), they can base much of their life around their religious convictions, they can be against abortion. But these people who represent the GOP are not decent people. They are masochistic, sadistic, scarred by insecurity, riddled with self-hatred, and they know that by definition all of the things they claim to believe cannot all square with each other, so they literally cannot escape living dishonest lives.
Hip hip hooray that this information is getting out. Whenever I watched this smug prick, I knew this kind of thing had to be going on. Here's to a full prosecution.
Ya know what they say: what goes around comes around. I think it's safe to say that this piece of garbage's past just came around and, royally, bit him in the ass.
The Champ is out.
McCain FL co-chair arrested for soliciting sex in men's room.
"Who thinks this site will report it when some major democrat is found to be listed, im sure the writers here will be on vacation"
What if Godzilla is on the list? Come back to reality.
Just because you *wish* the other party was filled with perverts and criminals (like the GOP) doesn't make it so. I understand conservatives have a hard time with "reality", but let me see if I can help you.
Your party is full of sexual perverts. Cope with that fact-- don't just sit around dreaming about how awesome it would be if only your competition were as sickening as your party.
Brum @ 36:
unfortunately, there will be some dems on the list... or so larry flynt claims.
Neocons are all imbecilic, aging, wheezing syphilitic pathological creeps, dirty old men that smoke Cuban cigars and go on child sex slave vacations in third world nations while on oxycontin between snorting viagra and having secret affairs with gay sex workers. When they're not spouting homophobic bullshit or writing breathlessly idiotic, fact free columns in major newspapers, clinking crystal tumblers brimming with $38,000 a bottle bourbon with the Skull and Bones / AEI classmates at grand elite socials, getting drunk and shooting people in the face, brazenly granting trillion dollar contracts to their former companies, raping teenaged boys in Texas Prisons, chronically sexually harrassing their female employees, they're out doing what they do best: ravaging the life savings of thousands of people and committing genocide. All this while being ardently fawned over by the liberal media. These revolting sub-human colostomatic shitbags of filth and perversion should all be in GITMO right now receiving sex changes from Cuban doctors, only to spend the rest of their lives as a drag show touring East African nations.
I think it's time for Brian Ross to explain why he came out and stated so insistently that there were 'no names of note' on this list.
Dusco @ 30:
Who knows, they probably will. The difference is though, the Republicans always try to make themselves out to be a party of pure virtue and family values. Those are very high standards to live up to. Especially for an entire party. When you have a Democrat or independent doing something like what Burkman did people just shrug their shoulders and move on because those parties haven't set those "saintly" standards for themselves. When you try to set your party on some sort of pedestal its so easy to be knocked off as everything you do that isn't considered "pure or in line with family values" will be amplified for all to see.
ashton @ 12:
This comment cracked me up.
"Yes, I always vote Republican."
'Yer a hooker, aintcha?'
A GOP pundit who needs his "microphone" readjusted.
Karmic payback is a bitch
Brum: The Republican Party claim to be the "party of GOD" and the "family values party." I could CARE LESS if someone's screwing around with a hooker, even a politician.
BUT...when they claim to be "greater than thou", vote to impeach Clinton for the blowjob, run on "family values", the "sactity of marriage", say the "talk to GOD", THEN I CARE!!! I HATE HYPOCRITES!!!
Point #2: Who said we have "a party"? I think BOTH parties stink!
I subscribe to putting "country before party", not "party before country", unlike REPUBLICANS tend to do! Pissing all over the constitution is "OK" if you're a Republican, right?
Point #3: ANBCBSNNX definitely slants to the Republicans, the "corporate mainstream media", they are not liberal. So, we need "the other point of view" not reported on ANBCBSNNX. So, what's wrong if C&L does report the point of view NOT reported on ANBCBSNNX? They have NOTHING to apologize for!
Watch ANBCBSNNX for the point of view YOU like and enjoy...
[...] keep up! Now it’s GOP Political Operative/Conservative Pundit Jack Burkman whose number has been found in the DC Madam’s phone [...]
Dusco @ 30:
Fine with me. I think the point is that the GOP is trying to regulate people's sex lives (morality). The Dems don't care who you have sex with. The point is the hypocrisy - not the act. The fact that the GOP is trying to tell everyone who they can LAWFULLY have sex with, who they can LAWFULLY marry and then they do the exact same things they want to outlaw says a lot about their own morality and it has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with lack of integrity and some serious psychological disorders that should preclude them from having anything to do with legislating anything.
It's not about sex. Get a clue.
Richwing Kook-Aid drinkers and corporate stooges LOVE to leave something alone that slants THEIR way, but LOVE to tell places that DON'T slant their way to "be fair"!!!
Tim @ 38:
Amen Brother!! [shaking tambourine] Too bad your post could never end up in the "Letters to the Editor" page of some big city daily.
I'll come right out and say it: Any politician, be it Democrat OR Republican, who did NOT run on "family values", "talk to GOD", etc...I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE ON THE LIST! But, so far, we have to proven hypocrites who's past statements make them ASTOUNDING hypocrites! And we LOVE to point out hypocrisy! We ALL love it!
Dusco @ 30:
Everyone knows "liberals" are dirty whore bangers. The difference is they're not hypocrites who preach family values and god while they bang whores. Lets not forget. Many of these repug fascisti wingnuts were put in power by the religious right, off they go to DC and off they go whore banging. Men of virtue and family values, indeed! Surely some Dems will be involved in this whoremongering fiasco but they were not put into office with the help from "holier than thou" religious right.
jesus christ its a wonder anyone would drop thier panties for a repig, no wonder most republicans are sheep herders, that wear hip boots when haveing sex!!!!!!
*raises hand*
Dusco @ 30:
So your entire point is that this site will not report that a Democrat is found on the list, despite that one hasn't been and that you don't know if this site will or won't report on it? That really is the best that you could come up with?
Pathetic at best.
Lord have mercy on me if i am wrong. The hypocracy of Republican logically make former president Bill Clinton an angel. How low can they go. From young boys to prostitues. Jesus!!
Lord have mercy on me if i am wrong. The hypocracy of Republican logically make former president Bill Clinton an angel. How low can they go? From young boys to prostitutes. Jesus!!
The point is that you can't be against gay marriage, but for prostitution.
If gay marriage is wrong because it goes against God's will, so is paying someone to engage in procreation-free carnal sin.
If gay marriage should not be legal because people want to 'respect the current law', then you can't flout the law and engage in one of the most obviously illegal acts there is.
And if you purport to have some respect for the sanctity of male/female relationships, you probably should not be paying women to sign over their self-respect for money in order to screw them in all of the sick, degenerate ways that regular women will not allow you to (even young lesbians at a rally.)
Good riddance to this sick bastard, may he crash his leased Beamer the next time he's chasing an ambulance or a young woman.
and one of mccain's campaign heads got busted for soliciting in a mens bathroom in florida....
when will america wake up and see the truth about the repugs
it is a party of pervs and miscreants
The outrage is not his being on the D.C. Madams list. It is him defending Ann Coulter on the staements she made about the Jersey girls.

It's not that I care about. It's the lying and hypocrisy. Wanna be a perv? Fine by me.
Dusco
why not just use the line..."its all clinton's fault"
when are you gonna accept that you belong to the party of pervs
tyree @ 50:
Naaaaaah, that's not true.
Consider myself a moderate Republican, yet I've never heard of this guy.
Kinda takes the sting out of it.
Big Dan @ 48:
And that is the entire point that is so often missed by those who wish to change the topic by saying "what-if Democrats are found on the list too." They probably will be, but there is a huge difference. It is the Republicans who wanted their name to be synonomous with "family values," " the sanctity of marriage" and " morals and values." They are the ones who preached from their high horses about how they were the protectors of all that is moral and were the only ones qualified to do it. They are the ones who proclaimed themselves to be above anyone else simply because of the political party to which they belonged. They set the bar and failed to meet it.
The story is amusing on its own, but all the more amusing given the hypocrisy. While Democrats are by no means perfect, they never claimed to be. They didn't preach that they were better than the Republicans when it came to values. They didn't try to mix God and politics, the Republicans did. The Republic Party is reaping what is has sown. They never cared a bit about morals or values and just fraudulently used it to get votes and pander to people who cared about such things.
The story is not about someone using a hooker, but rather yet another person who got knocked off his high-horse by his own stupidity. If you claim to be the beholder of morals and values and then get caught having neither, it is no one's fault but your own and you shouldn't whine when you get laughed at.
Stonicus
if these people had a healthy attitude about sex, they wouldnt be getting busted...its their unhealthy attitude that makes them pervs
its their unhealthy attitude that causes them to pass laws restricting others rights, while they go hog wild
that is what makes them pervs and miscreants
and that is what i meant
btw, i feel that prostitution should be legal
what right does the gov have to tell two consenting adults what they can do in the privacy of a bedroom....even if that means exchanging money
but the fact remains, the repugs wish to keep prostitution illegal....that is truly perverted
I can see our 2008 campaign slogan right now: "Vote Democrat. We don't have to pay for sex."
If you accept a certain religious view, then you can claim not to be a hypocrite. For example, if you believe that certain actions are immoral (for example, soliciting sex for money, abortion, not praying in schools, tolerating other creeds and religions, whatever) and that the Government should legislate in line with your morality, but also that God forgives immoral actions, then you can convince yourself that God will forgive you for banging a hooker so long as you keep trying to force your religious views on others.
I think it's difficult, if not impossible, to determine whether someone is a cynical hypocrite or a member of one of several conservative religious groups. Fortunately, it doesn't really matter. This is simply a majority rules issue. Those of us with different moral values have to band together to impose our views on the religious right.
d0n Camillo @ 65:
EXACTLY! LOLOL!
Why do you think they're so hung up with Clinton. The man can get laid, and he doesn't need a fistful of fifties to do it.
What's the biggest GOP secret...all the GOP females want to have sex with William Jefferson.
Jay @ 62:
Is that the best spin analogy you can offer...the "if a tree falls in the forest but no one is around, does it make a noise"?
LOLOL!
Another married Republican in sex scandal -- now with more latent gayness!
State Rep. State Rep. Bob Allen was arrested yesterday after he police say he offered to give oral to an undercover male officer for twenty bucks in a public bathroom.
After the arrest, Allen, a married father who gets an A-rating from the Christian Coalition, told a TV understanding it was a "gross mistake" and a "big misunderstanding."
Yeah? How big was it, Bobby?
Think Allen might be a hypocrite? Oh yeah. Big time. Here's a synopsis of a law he sponsored that I came across from a nudist site while searching his name on the Nets:
Amazing. It's one thing if someone is just too dumb to know hat a hypocrite they are, but when these people make a show out of being against something that they themselves are doing, it really takes a lot of gumption.
Little kids are way too sophisticated for the gummybear on a string trick. They pick up way too much sand. Now jolly ranchers......
Jay @ 62:
which is good for you, because i imagine you are still reeling from the vitter admission...
Liberal AND Proud @ 67:
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Oop...my back, my back....thanks Liberal, I tweaked my back again.....
I totally agree with you. Prostitution should be legal, as well as many other things. It all comes down to these archaic senses of morality that come from children's fairy tales. And they don't really believe it. It's a mix of them using it to scare people into voting for them and professing to have these beliefs just to fit in.
Good story from my friend. My friend and his wife went out to dinner one night. They both wanted to go eat chinese. But each also thought the other wanted to go to the new mexican place. So they went to eat mexican. Neither got what they wanted because they tried to appease this intangible notion that didn't exist that the other wanted mexican. I feel too many people are this way with their religion. They don't really believe, just go with the flow.
Amazing. It’s one thing if someone is just too dumb to know hat a hypocrite they are, but when these people make a show out of being against something that they themselves are doing, it really takes a lot of gumption.
Let's not forget Mark Foley and his deep concern for and interest in young people.
DNey @ 69:
A "big misunderstanding"...LOLOL!
I can hear it now..."I didnt ask to give oral sex"..."I was asking for his support"...uhh.."I was telling him how nice his tie looked"..."I was bending down to tie his shoe"..."uuuh...I was accidentally brushed against him while removing some lint"...""...I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT..."
LOLOLOL!
It's like they can't enjoy sex unless it is illegal. Legalize sex with young boys, no republican would ever touch one ever again.
Jay @ 62:
I always find it fascinating that in the end, people like this always make it about them.

I live in Florida and to me this is the straw that broke a thousand camels backs..
The Republicans are nothing more than self haters who consciously or subconsciously are wrecking the country. They hate gays but have the most closeted gays in their party. They hate terrorists but have the more terrorists in their party than anyone. They hate big government but have put into power the biggest big government freak ever. Its like all you have to do is look at their platform, see what/who they are demonizing and you can bet your bottom dollar they have the most to do with whatever it is they proclaim to hate. I thought Vitter was a non-story at first but now, coupled with this creep in Florida.. I cannot wait to hear what is going to happen next. One thing is for sure, the only thing more stupid than Republican leadership, is Republican rank and file.

This guy Jack blistered me at a web site once. He was pissy over something I said at another person's site. Well Jack, the ball is back in your court.
I am thrilled to see this disgusting piece of trash taken down by scandal. Absolutely thrilled.
Burkman is the quintessential GOP operative and is connected in so many ways to so many different parts of the larger machine. It is truly a just and righteous thing to see this kind of filth get the public mockery and scorn that he so richly deserves.
He is the face of the GOP hate machine, and that face can't live without his hookers, apparently.
What is it with these people and deviant sexual practices? Why do ANY of them have security clearances anymore? One would hope that the government employees who have been caught will see their clearances revoked.
And when a person donates blood (I hardly doubt a Republican would deign to give blood, but you never know) they ask you if you have ever paid money for sex--this, I believe, disqualifies you from donating.
Did Burkman, Tobias, Morris, Vitter or any of these other animals ever lie about paying for sex when donating blood?
I was so thrilled to see Burkman thrown on the heap. Dick Morris has lived on that heap and wallowed in it for years. Now he has more company.
Jay--
For every 1 Democrat you might find, there are at least fifty Republicans. Sad, but true.
Jay @ 87:
And trust me...I'll be lambasting thing over hypocrisy if THEY'VE set themselve as some moral ideal...and judge and jury for everyone else's lives.
You miss the point...AGAIN. It's not about the sex. It's the HYPCORISY. Hey...here's a newsflash..PEOPLE CHEAT ON THEIR SPOUSES...happens every day. I am neither justifying nor condoning it. BUT, people like this putz set themselves as the morality police. When it turns out that they are guilty of all that they condemn...Yes...they're gettin called on it.
Senator Moynihan On DC Madam’s List
Jay @ 62:
Just like Mann COulter never heard of Ted Haggard
Dear republican voters --
Are you shamed of your kind yet?
Sincerely,
America
P.S. If you respond "no", we will understand since you are a shameless group.
L.A. Confidential @ 97:
Dead guy Moynihan on DC Madam list?
Actually, it's more about the sex.
They have to pay for it. They have to turn it into a retail transaction. They have to hide it and they are shamed when it is exposed because it's fairly deviant, what they actually do. Ever read what goes on? Ever read what these poor women say about Republicans who come to them for sex? They have deviant, disgusting urges no healthy person would stomach. In Burkman's case, he is a flaming asshole as a person--therefore, he must arrange and pay for sex because he has no people skills. He cannot connect with other human beings like the rest of us do and have a healthy social and physical existence.
Yes, they're hypocrites because they say one thing and do another thing. But more importantly, what makes them more than hypocrites is the adherence they have to having to control other people sexually and get their rocks off by engaging in practices I'll just leave to your imagination.
Oh, and I see a conservative Republican member of the Florida legislature got caught in a men's room--what a shock. Well, it would be, except it happens all the time.
It's funny how the GOPers have to pay someone to touch their cigar when the person they hate the most, Bill Clinton, had Monica smoke his cigar for free. :lol:
Strawberry @ 100:
Was his bill paid?
Let's face it, repugs are major hypocrites and sickos...

Senator Moynihan On DC Madam’s List
Or so says a bunch of rightwing websites.
In 1998, Moynihan was at least 70 years old. If did indeed engage in paying for sex, he's just as wrong as any of these other individuals and shame on him, too.
GOP Response...
MOYNIHAN DID IT! CLINTON DID IT! Uhh...my neighbor next door did it...Ahhh it's not a big deal...this should be kept private...he's found the Lord...he found religion....he's sick and he needs our sympathy...and of course....I had a flat tire...someone stole my car...there was an earthquake...a terrible flood...it wasn't HIS fauuuuult!!
LOLOLOLOL!
L.A. Confidential @ 97:
He died in 2003. The pundits are guessing it was a staffer as it was from his office number.
Skeletons in the closet, if Pat had one shame on him. I don't think we can dig him up for this though.
Jay @ 87:
this is true....
yet, it would be irresponsible not to mention that the GOP has staked their fortune on being the "party of holier-than-thou". the GOP attempts to portray themselves as being more moral, more ethical, more righteous than their opponents...
further, in the same breath, when not posturing themselves as jesus' chosen ones, the GOP also tries to portray themselves as the "patriotic party", the "ammurrikkan party", etc. this, like the party of family values, is also hypocritical...
not to be forgotten is the GOP's attempt to paint themselves as the "national defense party". along with the aforementioned BS, this claim is a bald-faced lie. case in point: "Al Qaeda is the strongest it has been since the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a new U.S. government analysis concludes, according to a senior government official who has seen it."
no, a more reasonable GOP admission would be that they are the party of flesh temptation (and giving in), that has squandered america's standing and integrity for partisan gains and corporate favoritism... of course, that is hard to fit into a campaign slogan.
oh sweet hypocrisy, i shall call you the GOP.
nitehawk @ 109:
I read the call was placed on December 26th. It sounds like it would have been a staffer. Since when do Senators work on Dec 26th?
Does it make one an old fart when he can remember the only outing being gays?
Funny think about Vitter finding God, is I didn't know the deity was lost.
All the reichwingers were laughing at reports that Clinton is a Baptist, and after Monica sought counseling from a religious TEAM of three ministers.
They didn't say whether he puked pea soup or not.
I've had pea soup, I wouldn't blame him for puking.
I read the call was placed on December 26th. It sounds like it would have been a staffer. Since when do Senators work on Dec 26th?
Well, to be consistent--if Moynihan paid for sex, he's no better than any of the others I've condemned.
I'm more inclined to give a 70 year old man--be he Republican or Democrat--the benefit of the doubt. I don't think crazy old Ted Stevens would be calling up hookers--that sounds more like his despicable little toady son--and I doubt whether old Pat Moynihan went to the office the day after Christmas and called the DC Madam.
But you know what else? No one holds Democrats more accountable than Democrats themselves. We tear our own people to part when they do wrong.
Here's a good examply of holding people accountable:

Agreed. But, if revealing a now dead guy had sex with a prostitute is the best the reich-wing can come up, well it's pretty pale in comparison.
Why doesn't that surprise me? This disgusting slimeback has been one of the loudest during Clinton's impeachment.
It just gets better and better. Morality apparently is for others not them. The rule of law is for others not them. It is time to sweep this faux conservatism onto the dustpin of history.

He was bonking the whore coulter all along.

You're right, ty, not a lot of sheep there. Corn's a little bit rough my old Republican friends tell me.
Damn, there must be something in the water tonight. Out of curiosity, dennis, how do you figure that Monica didn't smoke Clinton's cigar (sheesh, the euphemisms flying tonight!) for free? I don't remember anything about Monica charging him a private consultation fee...

ah corn , when i was a young buck and the church folk were courting me as a convert they would invite you on a picknic at a country church grounds , imagine my surprise while visiting the outhouse privy to find out you had your choice of corn cobbs or a sears cattalog for wipeing your touche, decisions decisions, of course thats where the old saying ,rough as a cobb came from!
Meanwhile, up the road apiece the Republicans are having another sex scandal. This time it's Florida State Rep. Robert Allen of Merritt Island. The 48 year old Republican Representative was arrested today on second degree misdemeanor charges for solicitation for prostitution. And the twist is that he's a married many and was asking an undercover cop in a men's room if he could pay him to give him a blowjob. It's so GOP!
Allen was out for a little afternoon delight and got nabbed at noon in Titusville, Florida. "Officers say they noticed Allen acting suspicious as he went in and out of the men's restroom 3 times. Minutes later, he solicited an undercover male officer inside the restroom, offering to perform oral sex for $20." He was first elected in 2000 and lists "water sports" as a hobby on his official state website. He also uses a 10 year old photo-- a sure sign he's gay. The picture above is what he looks like today. The Christian Coalition loves loved Rep. Allen. Like Vitter (and Foley) and the rest of the Republican hypocrites, he was strong on the family values bullshit. In the last session of the Florida legislature, the Christian Coalition commends him for supporting their (extremist, hateful) positions 92% of the time. The Rainbow Democratic club also rates all the elected officals in the area. Allen? "Wicked Witch: Worst of the Worst."
There is a difference between Allen and Vitter. Vitter likes women prostitutes and supports the cross-dressing candidate for president. Allen's into the male variety and supports the most senile of the GOP contenders.

I don't think he laid the bills out on his Oval Office desk for her afterwards, Nonny, but I'm sure she received her remuneration for services rendered.
Experience not required - Monica Lewinsky, others given White House jobs
Background: Monica Lewinsky graduated with a degree in psychology from Lewis and Clark College in the spring of 1995. Shortly thereafter, she accepted an unpaid internship at the White House. As an intern, she worked under former chief of staff Leon Panetta. After that, she took a full-time job in the Clinton administration's legislative affairs office. By the spring of 1996, according to the Washington Post, she obtained a job -- with the help of White House officials -- as the "confidential assistant, with top-secret clearance, to the Pentagon's top spokesman." The Post reports that this job paid $32,700.
A lot of the time, it's not 'for free'. Even for the Big Dog.
Limp-Dick Blimpaugh @ 122:
Well, the gays must have kicked them out! LOL!
Sorry again...couldn't resist.
What gives? I thought ABC announced that there were no other notable names on the list? Why did they cover up for Vitter and this guy?
Reich-wingers are getting REALLY desperate if they are trying to spin Monica as a "prostitute". LOL. What losers....they prove it everytime.
Using the anti-logic of reich-wingers, a house wife doesn't give it up "for free" either,.....you f*cking morons.
Dr. Matt @ 132:
Didn't say she was a prostitute. But she did get paid. I'll leave it to you to define her.
Frankly, I'd assume most intelligent people could give a damn who's on the list. Dem or Repub. I know I couldnt give two &*^%s.
Taking a certain amount of "Glee" out of a Republican getting ensnared in this one of many Washington sex scandals is just as asinine as when Right wingers jumped with joy at the Gary Hart fiasco.
The whole thing is like a bad play, that's CONSTANTLY played out by both sides.
Now, let the partisan rhetoric and insults begin. (Dr. Matt, I assume you have something to say about my lineage, mother, geographic preference, or all three? :-))
"The recent allegations concerning sollicitation (sic) are false lies."
-Jack Burkman, response to web postings. http://jackburkman.us/
False lies = Truth.
#130 ABC did not have all the records.
SIGH
If only Waylon Flowers and Madam we're still alive to play the lead in the inevitable made for TV movie.

Dr. Matt @ 132:
I flubbed the joke earlier, but some people say that the only difference between a house wife and a hooker, is with the hooker you know the price up-front.
Ysby,
You know why brides are always smiling when they're walking down the aisle?
He and Degenova remind me of lounge lizards.
Jay @ 135:
again, this story has legs b/c it is the repubs that have tried to make a platform out of their supposed cherubic/angelic like qualities.
how many times have they tried to use sex and sexuality as a wedge issue? and now, when it is quite apparent that these self-professed morality monitors are just as human as everyone else, republicans want to change the subject, or claim not to care about such issues. i think not.
overall, i do find it amusing that the GOP all of a sudden finds the topic of immoral politicians in bad taste... that is, when the people in question are supposed family-value repubs...
I'm willing to bet that Ann Coulter is one of the escort ladies ABC referred to. One with a high education and a career outside of being a whore. Any takers?

dennis - the problem with posting links is that some people actually read them. There's no clue in that article about timelines - it's not clear whether Monica got the job as payment for services rendered (an interpretation you seem to be leaning toward) OR if the blowjob was an expression of gratitude after the fact -'only weeks earlier she was a clerk at a Knot Shop franchise, a men's necktie boutique in Portland, Ore...' That's awful fast work, if she was being paid for services rendered.
As it is, Monica wasn't the only woman who was brought into the Clinton inner circle: But Lewinsky hasn't been the only White House staffer during the last five years to strike some as a peculiar hire. "It was hard not to notice some very, very striking females around the place," says a law-enforcement official who worked in the White House. "Maybe that's not odd in itself -- no White House should go out of its way to avoid employing attractive women. But some of them seemed to have few qualifications for their tasks."
Clinton had a lapse of judgment when it came to keeping his zipper up, no argument there. But there were plenty of women who were more than happy to put a smile on his face... for free.

i'll take that bet partner....
(m)ann doesn't charge for sex, she has to pay. nasty ass skank.
dennis @ 139:
They got a strap on anal dildo on?
'Cause they know they've given their last BJ.
DC Madam. DC Madam. DC Madam. DC Madam. DC Madam. DC Madam.
Wonderful. Sex is the achilles heel. We've split the atom, put men on the moon, but no one has learned to control the penis. (Which is fine with me, but not if you are a "family values" conservative hoping to get red-state approval.)
Brum @ 36:
Your party? ..... YOUR PARTY????? I had the same question as the grandfather poster posited myself. However, don't ever call me a Republican.
And after reading comments by Democrats such as yourself, I'm finding myself less affiliated with your ideals as well.
If Democrats are on that list, they deserve to be outed just as much as the Republicans.
Another firm vote for the free market economy.
Sooooo Sweeeeet.
