I just figured it out. Officials like Republican Sen. David Vitter, a noted frequenter of brothels who plans to push for the retention of an abstinence requirement in the Africa AIDS bill, and Kristin’s favorite New Yorker, who apparently has a serious grudge against all prostitution rings but his own, need to hypocritically root out sex (paid for or otherwise) where it sleeps (or doesn’t) because they are afraid that it’s a finite resource. It’s tragic, really. These poor guys are petrified that every condom used in Africa and every unbelievably fat wad of cash left on a nightstand in Manhattan is one less they get to slip on or slap down respectively. By all appearances, there are many similarly afflicted people in power. Maybe it’s due to poor air quality in our nation’s capitals. Like childhood asthma. Oprah ought to have them all on some afternoon.
