So yet another politician has been ensnared in a sex scandal. Yawn…

    I always have believed my case was politically motivated.  Today’s events involving New York Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer, in a politically charged election year is just one more indication to me that escort and adult service businesses – which cater to powerful and influential clientele – are now being used as the weapon of choice in American politics.
