CNN:
Police in Houston, Texas, say they have busted a prostitution ring that may involve more than 1,500 clients, including professional athletes, doctors and lawyers.
Investigators were scouring computers files and credit card records on Monday, trying to verify a large client list that could ignite scandals throughout the city, CNN affiliate station KHOU reported.

With all of the oil industry republi cans in Houston, this ought to be interesting.
Prostitution, along with all drugs, should be legalized and taxed. That would take care of the budget deficit in a snap.
Is 41 on that list?
Have you seen him lately? He can hardly walk, has to hang onto Bar to roll down the hallway. Plus, I doubt the "girls" would tolerate all the crying!!
Obama needs to levy an excise tax on future prostitution acts and a windfall profits tax when the stimulous package kicks in.
Surprise, Surprise..
I hope the authorities actually prosecute some to the men this time. They always go after the women but it seems they always let these men off.
Yes, the men always "get off".
Because the judges and attorneys, etc. are usually the johns.
Waste of time. Legalize, regulate and tax the "oldest profession".
SOT
Yep and throw in quarterly health certificates, then bingo a proper business!
No kidding! The insanity revolving around two CONSENTING adults is positively idiotic! It opens the door for all sorts of TRULY illegal activity such as blackmail and corruption! Meanwhile.
While we're at it, why not legalize murder and rape? I mean, who needs moral and ethical standards in a society that has become so atheistically "enlightened"?
Yet another industry that should be legalized. regulated and taxed. Frankly, there are times that a guy (or a gal) needs to get some strange with no strings attached.
Let us hope that the client list doesn't disappear or get suppressed by a restraining order. It will be interesting to see how many Texas politicians are clients.
"Bugman" Delay lives in the area.
...now wouldn't that be special?..
Just another commodity the government refuses to make safer, and less harmful by regulating and taxing as income.
You're confusing a service with a commodity.
Spliting hairs, aren't you?
It a) depends on the quality whether it is a service or a commodity, and b) if you buy enough of a service you're going to get commodity rates.
Did they ever catch that ring of prostitutes working out of Crawford???
Sorry, those "girls" retired and are living on government pensions now. They liked role reversals, they liked to scu the client, meaning us or is it US.
No, they just got voted out! :)
$350 is not all that high class. Spitzer's escort service could cost you thousands, and that was on the low end.
I would say $350 is well-within middle class whoredom.
I think what the press is breathy about is their hope that some so-called high-class people could be outed for their private consensual sexuality, not the class of the service per se.
me too. We need a little distraction about now.
Was married to a lady who was a pro is her younger days. Said that most of her clients were lawyers and politicians. Was surprising who all she knew. We ended up with other issues, but that was not one of them.
All that oil $$ had to go somewhere ...
Of course they busted the HOUSTON Ring. Don't need it any more and safe to bust.
W moved to Dallas.
Say, Ron Pauls neighborhood, hum.
