Manic Monday

Is the White House headed for the red-light district?

Two pornographers will be among the guests at a Republican fundraising event at the White House, this week...

"Last week, Carl Forti, communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, explained ... that self-described pornographer Mark Kulkis and his date, porn star Mary Carey, will be attending the two-day event, 'The 2005 President's Dinner and Salute to Freedom,' next Monday and Tuesday because their money is just as good as anyone else's."

When I first read this I was skeptical to say the least. I mean after all the bruhaha over being the party of good, decent, upstanding, Christian's . The party that was elected because heartland American wanted to get back to old-fashioned morals and values. Surely they wouldn't. Naw, they couldn't. But then I read that last line again, and that pretty much explained it all.
To think this is the party that whined and bitched about the Lincoln bedroom being rented out to political contributors. And lets not forget how bent they got over oral sex in the oval office (like that was the FIRST time it ever happened). One shiver's to think what might be happening in the Lincoln bedroom after this little soiree.
On top of that, Russel Crowe's invite was retracted after his phone throwing incident. Now, I'm thinking with his money, Crowe could have made a much larger contribution than Ms Carey. In dollars that is. I reckon Russel shoulda looked more like this...

Now, I personally don't have a problem with Ms Carey and her pimp manager attending republican events. Be they at the White House or at the Lincoln Center. What I do have a problem with is republicans claiming their the party of higher morals and values. Yet they want to be able to take any skank's body's money for their party too. Buck up boys and girls, you're either the party of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, or not. You can't have it both ways.
Pardon me if I find this all to be a bit hypocritical.

ps: Incidently Ms Carey says that "despite her racy occupation, she's still a Christian, and has her own aspirations of winning the presidency in the future."

pss: The kids made it home safe and sound last night around 9:30. Thanks to all of your for your prayers for their safety.
