Cause. Effect. It's not a difficult concept.


There's this (from 2004):

Next month, delegates attending the Republican Party convention in New York City will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with sex and sex workers. According to published reports, thousands of escorts, prostitutes, strippers and their posses are headed for New York City in time for the GOP's late-August/early-September convention in Madison Square Garden.

"Agencies are flying in extra call girls from around the globe to meet the expected demand," the New York Daily News reported. A madam at a midtown Manhattan escort service told the newspaper that "girls" were coming in "from London, Seattle, California...for that week." With fees ranging from $300 to $1,000, it's no wonder that "everyone wants to work," the madam pointed out.

And there's this:

JC's GIRLSGIRLSGIRLS is a Biblically based Christian ministry that seeks to share God's message of hope and forgiveness by reaching out in a non-judgmental way to those who are in the sex industry.

Well, sure, and I'm only guessing that having sex with a Republican would be enough to drive any self-respecting sex worker to seek redemption. I mean, there have to be some things that even hookers feel guilty doing.

(H/T for that second link to Alison from Creekside, who is much too classy to make fun of devout Christian sex workers. Luckily, I have no such social restraints.)
