I agree with Mark F (San Francisco??)

Personally the next time a prostitute is caught with someone like Rekers I want to see them hold a press conference and apologize to their family and customers and explain they had no idea they were involved with someone so sleazy. In almost any exchange between a prostitute and a politician the prostitute is the more moral of the two.

A prostitute only screws you if you ask them to. And, when they do, you usually like it. I can’t say the same about politicians.

@Mark F.:

It makes a nice opening sentence for the editorial. But I agree with you; I’d say only McCollum was doing the sleaze.

BTW, the reader comments after the editorial were unexpectedly caustic about McCollum.

I resent the comparison between a consenting adult hiring a prostitute and the Florida governor hiring a phony expert with tax money! Why are prostitutes demonized?

And I hope the democratic candidate rides this all the way to the governor’s office.

Glad to see the ‘heat’ is still on. Any word on a fraud charge/suit?
