Most prostitutes are not high class, name their price "businesswomen." And the prostitutes aside, every woman related to or working with Spitzer is injured, since he's a guy who on some level thinks that money lets him get whatever he wants. But... yeah, better ways to spend taxpayer's money than bringing down swish escort services.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-33868853771858413532008-03-13T15:27:00.000-04:002008-03-13T15:27:00.000-04:00I think we was thinking something like, "Mmmmmm......I think we was thinking something like, "Mmmmmm...hoooookers."Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811684628680681891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-68747231371974752702008-03-12T16:27:00.000-04:002008-03-12T16:27:00.000-04:00victimless?

I think it's a good thing. So many people can't afford it here, and if it's done at a reputable clinic in India, the woman and her family benefit tremendously, and the family who get the baby obviously do too. This is a real win-win, in my eyes. Double stand-in weddings, though?
