N&L says “it would be quite amazing...for item which represented 1/2 percent of sales to be discussed by Honorary Members of the Board.”
Even assuming N&L’s figures are correct (he offers no citation or source), a few thoughts:
* Whatever the percent, it amounted to tens of millions of dollars worth per year by Marriott alone.
* If 1/2 percent of Marriott sales had come via prostitution services or cocaine sales billed through the front desk, might that have been a subject of board discussion?
* Former California Lt. Gov. John Harmer, a fellow Mormon appointed to office by then Gov. Reagan, now chairman of the Lighted Candle Society, a Salt Lake City-based anti-port group, estimates that the U.S. hotel industry sells half a billion a year in porn flicks. In the original CBN article posted, he doesn’t buy Mitt’s “I didn’t know Marriott sold porn” ruse.

* Who said Mitt was an “honorary” member of the Marriott board? He was paid $100,000 a year — at least 1/2 percent from porn profits — and Marriott news release upon his departure called him “an active, hands-on Director.”
Seems to be a lot of spinning and deceiving coming from Mormon defenders of the Romney campaign. Doesn’t bode well for this latter day religion does it? But of course conservatives are being called to compromise during this political season. But compromise what is the question voters should ask themselves when contemplating candidates.
