The Menendez Dilemma ("Who is more trustworthy, a Dominican prostitute or a New Jersey Democrat?")
The American Spectator ^ | February 5, 2013 | Robert Stacy McCain

Posted on 02/05/2013 10:08:45 AM PST by PJ-Comix

Prostitution is both legal and widespread in the Dominican Republic, where as many as 100,000 women are part of the industry in a nation that has become a major sex-tourism hotspot of the Caribbean. So it would not be a crime for Sen. Robert Menendez to have availed himself of such services during his trips to the Dominican Republic, as has been alleged.

Menendez has strenuously denied patronizing prostitutes, however, denouncing the accusations Monday in a CNN interview as “smears that right-wing blogs have been pushing since the election.” Any claim that Menendez consorted with hookers during his D>. ominican holidays “is totally unsubstantiated,” the New Jersey Democrat said. “It’s amazing to me that anonymous, nameless, faceless individuals on a Web site can drive that type of story into the mainstream.”

“Who is more trustworthy, a Dominican prostitute or a New Jersey Democrat?”

The ‘ho, hands down! Especially when she’s been stiffed! (double meaning intentional)

BTW, I had to work around a content filter to read this article. Apparently, it flags pages with “New Jersey Democrat” in the title as offensive.

DOD 2200.01

b. Deter activities of DoD Service members, civilian employees, indirect hires, contract personnel, and command-sponsored dependents that would facilitate or support TIP, domestically and overseas. This includes activities such as pandering, prostitution, and patronizing a prostitute even though such activities may be legal within a host nation country, but which are in violation of chapter 47 of title 10, U.S.C. (also known as “The Uniform Code of Military Justice” (Reference (f)) and paragraph 97, part IV of Manual for Courts-Martial 2008 (Reference (g)).

Military or DOD civilians can't patronage prostitutes, but Senators can...

At least a prostitute admits that they’re a whore.

Unless the prostitute is under-age, according to US laws, in which case he was in violation of a federal law (for which he voted) to curb underage "sex tours" to countries like Thailand.

Disagree -- at least Armstrong had accomplishments to lie about.

Do you know the difference between a prostitute and a politician?

1. There is no law that forces you into a relationship with a prostitute.
2. You don't have to pay a prostitute for years, or even decades, because of someone elses bad decisions.
3. When a prostitute takes a large chunk of your paycheck she doesn't pretend she's investing it for you and you'll get it back to you when you retire.
4. Unless you're that dude from 'The Crying Game' a prostitute seldom pretends to be one thing when trying to get your business then turns out to be completely different once you hire her.
5. Henry Waxman wouldn't have made any money as a prostitute.

There once was a Senator named Menendez
Who was a true liberal tax and spendnendez
But he shortchanged a hoe
After promising the dough!
In the Hoe-minican while at his benders

There once was a Senator named Menendez
On the short list for Great Pretenders
He railed against porn
And sex with a corn
But scored underage hookers with a vengeance

There once was a Senator Menendez
Who was very horny, comprendes.
The Feds grabbed his loot
And his teen prostitute
So he’s been calling public defenders

There once was a deviant named Menendez
Who flew to the DR as intended
He was pitifully hung
So made sure she was young
Not to laugh at what looked like his pudendaz

I can’t think of any.

is this a trick question?

They both provide the same service - one only if you pay her, and the other only if you don’t pay him.

Are you sure you don't want to re-phrase that?
