Practitioners of the world's oldest profession are seeking reinforcements to help service some of the 35,000 visitors -- plus untold numbers of police reinforcements -- expected in the coming week when Democrats name Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) their presidential candidate.


"Every convention brings in more people, and women fly in from all over the country to work it," said Robyn Few, a prostitute on probation who runs the Sex Workers Outreach Project, an advocacy group.


"There will be girls from California and from the South in Boston this week," she said. "I hope a lot of women make a lot of money and make a lot of men really happy."

22. Ain't that the truth?

Good call, lib-vet.

[HawkerHurricane]

2. They always do...

They'll converge on NYC for the Repubs, too.

They interviewed some Prostitutes who had worked both conventions in 1996 (the Repub convention was in San Diego)... They say the Democrats were pretty whitebread but vigerous, The Republicans were into kinky and one shots...

3. Repukes are already spinning this out to show "proof" that

Dems truly are a bunch of sex addicted degenerates, ect.

Funny thing is the RNC is gonna get sloppy seconds from the same hookers that are traveling to the DNC.

9. Actually, the NY Daily News already noted the GOP hooker brigade

They started preparing for the RNC a whole month ago!

Politicians just take the money and leave you hanging.

6. prostitutes at a convention,

what a surprise

[Judi Lynn]

19. A real shocker......

They turned out in large numbers for a Baptist convention in Kansas City, flipping out the wives by approaching their husbands as they walked with them on the streets. in and out of the convention center and hotels.

It appears they go where the people are.

7. They're talking about the media whores.

Like tweety and the boys at fox.

10. Prostitutes Converging on RNC New York

A headline that Reuters will *never* print.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

11. That must be the same group in NYC they were talking about....

...a couple of weeks ago. You know, the ones that are getting ready for the GOP convention.

15. "Promise Keepers" conventions were big money for escorts

and strip clubs, according to a pal of mine who works in hotel management. There is nothing like talking about family values and manly Christian rights all day to get you ready for a lap dance.

16. Here it is--Sex Pros get ready for (GO)Party

[leesa]

12. You think members of the polticos don't hire hookers? Where are you

from?

[Piperay]

13. and twice the amount

will be converging on the repuke convention. :puke:

[Logansquare]

14. Interesting, having your financial and business news reporter

do a story like this. Business is all Svea has covered for Reuters up to this point. Sounds like she got a "special assignment" from upstairs to counter this embarrassing article about how the Republican Convention was a bonanza for sex workers:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/story/206962p-178564c.html

The Daily News article is a lot better, with more interviews and a nod to bipartisan whoopi-making.

[librechik]

17. so the whores will be so rich and satisfied after Boston

that they won't show up for the RNC, I suppose.

[drdtroit]

18. I didn't know that

Limbaugh and Hannity were going to Boston!

[Tippy]

20. The truth be known they were probably financed by the RNC...n/t

[banana republican]

21. Well Who ever hear of a good peice of elephant???n/t

[Solly Mack]

23. As long as no one is engaging in sex with children I don't care who gets

paid or who gets laid.


prostitutes at a political convention isn't news.

sex with children would be

and before someone decides to transfer their anger onto me because I mentioned sex with children being a concern of mine and they opt to stretch the bounds of logic and turn that into an attack on democrats...I said the exact same thing about the pug-ugly convention when a news story came out about working girls hitting the big apple.

fact is, the selling of sex all too often includes the selling of children.Yes...even in America. I have no problem with prostitution...as long as it's adults and only adults involved.
