Gee, could the word "whorehouse" become the bete noir of the Barbour campaign even before the primary is held? Well, if Jimmy Carter could overcome "ethnic purity," maybe Haley can lived down "whorehouse."

James Carville sang duets with Paul Begala at a piano in a whorehouse.
Thank God that the American people shut it down in 2000.

"Head Start is a godsend for Mississippi," The truth is that the program has been around for 30 plus years and has made no difference at all in the achievement level of the children who go to it. It is another Statist program to get kids under government control at an earlier age.

In politics today, a candidate sometimes gets saddled with a single word or phrase. Ford prematurely freed eastern Europe of its "Soviet domination." Carter had his "ethnic purity." Gary Hart had his "new ideas." Walter Mondale had his "Where's the beef?" Reagan had "there you go again." Bill Bradley was "cerebral" though he had a low SAT score, quite a bit lower than that of Bush II. Dukakis had his ACLU membership card. Bush I had his "thousand points of light." Clinton had his "I feel your pain." Gore had his "global warming." Does Haley Barbour want to be saddled with the word "whorehouse"? That's what happens when there is the free expression of ideas sometimes. Speechmaking can, like lawmaking, be synonymous with making sausage.

Good one. But who did Haley offend? Whores? Maybe piano players.

Head Start was said to be the favorite liberal program of Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson. Republicans are afraid to tell the truth about Head Start. Bob Dole told Bill Clinton to "tell the truth," but the GOP fears to tread on the popularity of Head Start.
Also Head Start workers collect unemployment compensation during summers even if they have assurance of work in the fall.

Yea, the use of the word "whorehouse" would be "amusing" if uttered by a Democrat. But when a Republican says it, watch out! It's like the old adage about the news. Its is not news when a dog bites a man, but it is news when a man bites a dog!!! So when a Democrats says a dumb remark, it's not news, but when a Republican says a dumb remark, it is the end of life "as we know it."
To: Theodore R.
Boy you don't hear vulgar words like that anymore.

"Whore" remains a great decriptive term. I often use it when shopping with my eight year old daughter, as in "Don't buy those shorts. That's the kind whores wear." Even my teenage boys consider some of these "little girl" fashions to look more like outfits for whores.
My daughter gets the message loud and clear. The other day she pointed out a photo of an underclad woman on a magazine cover and whispered, "Mommy, that's a bad girl."
I figure she surrounded everywhere with these slutty images. I might as well spin it to her advantage while she's still impressionable.

Monica Lewinsky owes her success in life to her own "Head Start" program.
To: Theodore R.
And? Why is this a story?
Are we going to pretend politics isn't a whorehouse?
Are we going to pretned media isn't a whorehouse?
To: mabelkitty
Whenever a Republican "misspeaks" or is later forced to apologize for having "mispoken," it is newsworthy, whether we like it or not. Now if Gary Hart or Bill Clinton had uttered the same remark, such a comment might not have even made the paper.
To: Theodore R.
I find this ridiculous. The democrats in the Southern media etc. are so damn scared that they are losing the South (not just in national elections, but now in state and local ones). Barbour is a folksy, likeable guy. I think colorful is good. Can we please stop electing politicians like Byron Dorgan-- a man that could single-handedly cure insomnia?
This is a non-story, manufactured by GOP haters in the media.

"Monica Lewinsky owes her success in life to her own "Head Start" program."
Looks like you got a twofer with that statement.

In the King James Bible, I find 76 instances of whore (including the forms whoredom, whoredoms, and whoremongers.) There are no whorehouses as such, and no pianos.

Speaking of Begala, he famously said about someone, I can't recall whom, "he's as nervous as a whore in church."
To: dighton
Brother Jed Smock and Sister Cindy (who later married him) used to call me a whoremonger when they'd swing by my campus 20 years ago.
To: faithincowboys
It may be a non-story, but the Memphis Commercial Appeal saw fit to mention it and put the "W" word in the headline. If it brings down a Republican a notch or two, it can't be all bad, reason the Democrats.
