Almost every facet of government is run by incompetents. This is just a more visible instance. Nobody in govt can be bothered to double-check ANY of their work. It’s always the taxpayers digging out of the mess the incompetents create from their lack of caring or accountability.

Half of the WATS numbers must be porn lines, because EVERY time a number is misprinted, that’s where the callers wind up. It’s never a national discount house or a travel agency, its always porn.

Hah, I don't doubt it.

Where I used to work our tech support number was 1-888, but if you dialed the same number as 1-800 it was an online store for sex toys.

The best part is they paid us $150,000 for our 1-888 number.

Too bad all politicians don’t do favors like this! I wonder how often he calls it.

These things happen too much to be accidents, IMO. Seems to happen in many states. We had one fairly recently in PA.

A simple boner. If the sex line was up for less than four hours there is no need for concern.

I expect politicians to screw me, but they could at least do it personally.

These things keep happening. It’s looking more and more like a bit of purposeful dyslexia.

But when you think about it, whoever does these deeds must have the porn numbers memorized to recognize similar, prankable numbers.

He must be one of FL’s most inept in so many ways, but the people there seem to like him. Probably don’t like to admit they may have erred

“Did it help his standing in the polls?”

-—————No, but it might have helped his pole’s standing. (But only if it was intentional, of course.)
