I hadn't heard that before either. Is this a new claim he is making or did I just miss it previously?

I think I only heard it for the first time during yesterday's media blitz. Job creation related to...what exactly?

And yes, he needs to be taken to task for all of the crack/gang BS. He totally led the conversation with LeDrew..."I don't want to talk about Lisi, let's talk about my record." NO, LET'S TALK ABOUT LISI.

We're all maybe being distracted by the Ford media blitz and they're really laying it on thick with the BS, which makes it harder to ignore. But let's not forget that from now on he is going to be quietly and steadily marginalized, and have to deal with countless small but meaningful humiliations like this one.

For those of us who truly loathe Ford (I know I'm not the only one)... good times.

If Lisi's been charged with extortion re: the tape, why hasn't Ford been charged as well yet?

I wonder what's going on there, too. It's not like Lisi wanted the video for his dvd collection. Rob is the only one with a stake in getting it back.

According to Matt, Parker voted on everything (as did Stintz):

It was Lindsay Luby that was absent for a meeting.

Votes were later in the afternoon. At the time Ford was in the Speaker's Chair a TTC meeting was taking place.

For those who are monitoring things and wondering, I am required to remain at the previously scheduled TTC meeting right now.

I am sick of pussy-footing (no pun intended) around. If it walks like an escort and works like an escort; it's an escort. I don't care what nice euphemisms anyone uses..a sex worker is a sex worker and if you are stripping down to your goddamn underwear to sell raffle tickets...SEX WORKER. PERIOD.

Getting paid for the illusion of sex is the same as getting paid to have sex...I don't care where you happen on the food chain of sex.

I don't agree with that at all. Dancing in your underwear is very different from screwing old men for money.

Quoted for 'the food chain of sex'. That with Ford's description of his home buffet...oh the horror!

lol true.
I would say that there is a big difference between someone who dresses up in skimpy clothes at parties as work, and someone who gets paid for people to ejaculate inside them. No judgement on either work, at least they are employed, but there is a difference.

Just stop. It is what it is.

Seriously, I'm unclear as to the distinction you're making. Sure, some folks may think of Victoria's Secrets models as more "classy" in some way than women who hawk raffle tickets in skimpy clothes, but there are plenty of women who have jobs that require them to dress in sexy outfits. Are Hooters servers sex workers? Are the "booth babes" at car shows and conventions sex workers? What are the criteria here?
