Canadian politicians use 'escorts,' too

OTTAWA, March 18 (UPI) -- Escort services in Canada's capital say politicians hiring women for dates isn't restricted to the United States, where New York's governor resigned in scandal.

The Sun Media group contacted several agencies in Ottawa, and all said former and current elected officials have used their services but none would reveal names, the report said.

One 25-year-old woman identified only as Valerie said she works as an independent escort and charges $600 for three hours.

"I've slept with politicians a number of times and I'm sure it'll happen again," she told Sun Media.

With regard to Eliot Spitzer, who resigned last week as New York governor after allegations arose of repeated dates with a 22-year-old prostitute from New Jersey, Valerie said he deserved the disgrace.

"He was a hypocrite," she said in the Sun Media article. "He shouted loud and strong that he was a righteous man and led a fight against prostitution while taking advantage of such services all the while. I'd say he was paid in kind."

    I don't understand the hubub. If we rated prostitutes on value for money against every other profession where we pay for services (courtesy, professionalism, services received) , I'm willing to bet that they give better value than Politicians.

    More To The Rise and Fall of Elliot Spitzer Than Meets the Eye
    March 17, 2008

    When the scandal involving New York Governor Elliot Spitzer and his tryst with a $5,000-a-night prostitute named ‘Kristen’ was injected like an informational narcotic into the American consciousness the 2nd week of March, most people merely chalked it up as yet one more corrupt politician caught with his pants down, no pun intended. The theme of a moralizing, self-righteous politico pointing his finger into a news camera and Pharisaically grandstanding to the rest of the world while on the sly he was busying himself with the very business he was tasked with destroying is almost as old as the oldest profession itself.

    However, information surrounding this case indicates there is much more to it than simply issues of hypocrisy and infidelity, although they certainly play a part. And once again–surprise, surprise–what it reveals is the hidden hand of that troublesome little experiment in Jewish self-rule violently nestled on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean known as the state of Israel.

    Look if we taxpayers don't mind getting screwed by the politicians, why should we get upset if they do a couple of hookers? I tell you this much it would be a hell of a lot cheaper to pay for their vigera and whores,than pay for their money laundering scams.

    Capital cities are much like port cities.

    The main difference is the price of the hookers.

    I'm shocked! I mean we have escort services here in Canada? I had absolutely no idea! I even had to look up "escort services" in the Yellow Pages(TM) and try out a few just to make sure it was true. Now I learn that Politicians are using escort services? OMFG! I'm going into convulsions over this horrific realization! Our politicians are not pristine divine saviors sent down from Heaven? Noooooooo!!! I'm gasping for breath ... where's my paper bag?????
