1. Maybe his pal mitt Romney'll bail his ass out

2. I personally don't think this is any big deal...

but this incident is going to cost him a lot of money.

[brush]

3. And probably his job. nt

[NaturalHigh]

4. Yeah, that's what I was referring to.

No way CBS is going to keep him on after his mug shot is seen by millions on TMZ.

9. I don't think it warrants firing.

He should be suspended, but that is all. I am sure he is not the only one who has done this. Maybe a suspension will make him, and some others, clean up their acts.

10. I hope he gets a break . . .

but it's funny how many family-values republicans get into these situations.

15. He's a family-values republican?

I don't follow basketball, so I don't know this guy.

then played in the NBA for several years.

At UNLV he was active in the Young Republicans, and has backed repugs running against the ACA in Nevada.

7. Now if it was Billo again or Rush

oh bother you'd never hear the end of it..

12. He's probably far more worried about what his wife is going to do.

[NaturalHigh]

13. I would be!

That's going to be an awkward conversation.

5. Just make prostitution legal

Sheeesh

[PatrynXX]

6. oh we can't do that....

encourage women to make money nah...

[NaturalHigh]

8. That's just to much freedom to entrust with people.

Think of all those people possibly having fun and deciding what to do with their own bodies. It could lead to anarchy and would remove far too many sticks from people's asses.

14. Best to leave sex workers in the hands of criminals for pay and protection

That's worked far better than making it legal. Also, keeping it illegal gives huge incentives for traffickers.

11. Basketball "analyst"?

LOL. Psychoanalyst, OK. Financial analyst, OK. News analyst, well, OK. Basketball analyst? A bridge too far.
