Politician, Prostitute... What's The Difference, Anyway?
-
This county executive in Tennessee got caught in a prostitution sting, allegedly offering an undercover cop fifty bucks for a "sexual favor." The topic here is whether something like this -- a misdemeanor -- should disqualify someone from office, but then there are a few other minor things, like the standard politician's photo with the article, with the flag in the background, which kinda makes you think they should throw the book at him, just because. And then there's the name of the Chairman of the county commission: "Ronnie Raper." And then there's the defendant's ownership of three Express Lubes and a Howard Johnson's hotel, which is interesting just because.
