Not that I would ever compare George Washington with Flip-Flop, but Martha Custis was a very wealthy woman when George married her.

Hmmm - Anything that Taki Theadocupoulos says has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Just make sure that it is salt, as Mr Takesalotupthenoseous has had the odd legal problem with white crystaline substances in the past

And Taki's enormous fortune comes from where? From a shipping corporation built up by his father, and in which he has never worked a day in his life.

Rather more than the pot calling the kettle black here.

Taki is a truly odious individual.

Forget Lous Prima.

The preeminent rendition of this song was done by Van Halen's greatest member, David Lee Roth.

I generally couldn't stand that group, but Roth is a whole different story. Insane, but brilliant!

"The dictionary defines 'gigolo' as a man supported by a woman in return for his sexual attentions......"

Sexual ATTENTION is probably all he can give her. She seems to be a frustrated woman if you ask me.

I don't know. I think the David Lee Roth cover of the song is more fitting in this instance.

John Kerry isn't "Just a Gigolo" though, he is one of the top gigolos gaming our political system. I think Taki puts too little faith in Mr. Heinz.

"American Gigolo"


All I remember about that movie was the Richard Gere full frontal nudity scene...whatever.

That was just one example of how Hollywood films bear no relation to reality.

There's no way in the world that women who looked like the actresses in that movie would need to pay for a male "escort."That's something you'll only see in a Hollywood movie.

"Gee, I'm an incredibly gorgeous blond with millions of dollars. Where will I ever find a man to sleep with me. (sob!)

John Kerry is a gigolo! His daughter is an exhibitionist. Check out Drudge, and catch Ms. Kerry's boobies displayed at the Cannes Movie Festival. I guess we can expect to see lots of flesh and boobies at White House functions in the future if Mr. Kerry is elected President. Onward America (While it lasts!)! Fear not Janet Jackson, you will be a regular guest at the "Kerry" White House.

Taki did NOT marry his father. And the truthor falsity of his words does NOT depend on his social origins.

I'm always torn between extreme loathing and grudging admiration whenever I think of Taki.

I mean, there's something definitely compelling about living the life of a debauch, heedless of the concerns of others.

Then again, he is a rather repugnant individual, who's basically lived off the earnings of the Greek shipping magnate who was his father.

How do you even say his name? Theodacoropoulos? What the hell does that mean?

Mind you, being a gigolo is no picnic.

I can just imagine. I mean, a young girl can find some old fart, satisfy his needs in five minutes, then start spending his money having a good time. But an old woman is much harder to please, especially in the sack. I'd rather be a gynecologist; at least you can knock off when the day is done.

"Odious"?

Interesting...

So name one thing John Kerry has done in his life that is worthwhile.

I'll wait.
