When The "Saints" Come Marching In....

You would think that with the Republican convention fast approaching, that New York City would be readying itself for a bevy of clean, wholesome, family-oriented activities. Yeah right, guess again. The NY Daily News has an article today about how escort services are gearing up for what they expect to be huge demand for their, uh, services.

While it's made clear that any convention is normally big biz for hookers and the like, my point is the hypocrisy that will surround this one. As we've seen countless times, over & over, the GOP is so often guilty of what they rail against. Based on their judgmental, sanctimonious rhetoric, Republicans are supposed to be above this kind of behavior, but we see them prove otherwise almost on a daily basis. Just take a look at Cheney, who recently said the "F" word to a senate colleague, on the heels of the indecency bill being passed 99-1.
