And I can't help feeling that if this had been John McCain's privacy that was breached, no one would care. -- Who is Jesus? and Why it matters (to YOU).

Nothing new about that, I went through one of the anti-porn/child abuse internet monitoring sites some time ago and the escort was giving us some information on some of the "kids" talking (made this sailor boy blush) on the screen. Most were normal sick Joes, but probably an eighth (just my poor memory) of the scum she pointed to were said to be untouchable because of money or politics. And it was both male to boy and male to girl conversations (and yes, women do it too, but there were none on that day).
Always has been and always will be, with money and connections you are treated differently unless you screw up big time and in public, piss off someone even more elite, or irritate the media.
As far as McCain, you are not implying the media has bias are you? [innocent look] -- I am not lost, I find myself every time. |

At least not unless it got out that he had phone sex with Bible Spice. I mean, she had to blow someone to get on the gee oh pee ticket because it certainly had nothing to do with her intelligence. |
