Pants on Fire!

People make comments that are so patently untrue that it's hard to convince me that they believe what they are saying.

One example is the whore/hooker/call girl/prostitute who engaged in sex with then Gov. Spitzer for a fee of $1500 an hour, but said this week that she did not have sex for the money. Isn't that why a whore/hooker/call girl/prostitute has sex with a man she doesn't know? For the money? What other reason could there possibly be? Self-esteem building? Resume padding? Social networking? You just really, really like having sex with really, really rich strangers because it's so much fun?

With the potential to clear a grand an hour after paying the booking fee, why aren't more young women taking advantage of this employment opportunity? I know of no other career that has absolutely no minimum requirements and pays so well! Beats the hell out of working for minimum wage at Wal-Mart--unless, of course, you aren't in it for the money.

Another example is the local Mayor Pro-Tem who testified at her 1983 murder trial that she could not remember either the murders or cleaning the blood out of her ex-husband's car, blood allegedly evidence in a double homicide for which she was on trial.

That was then, this is now.

This week, she's telling the voters that she does not remember a press conference a couple of weeks back where she expressed support for the gay boycott of local businesses in the very community that elected her to office. Local business owners, who are righteously upset with her becoming a "leading force" in the gay boycott of individuals, church members, and business owners who donated to the Yes on 8 campaign, are calling for her resignation. After all, she was elected to represent ALL the constituents, not just the gay ones, but, perhaps, she doesn't remember the campaign promises, either.

Isn't there a movie of the week in all of this?
