The Hooker Connection

UPDATE: Scotty's Hottie. Tribune. Pix at RoeConn.com.He met her at a Glenview (Chicago suburbs, not downstate) massage parlor.***(And we still don't know who is client 10. From Chicago. Maybe Blago knows.) The new Dem Lt. Gov. primary winner puts his hooker in the headlines. Machine Dems are trying to sanitize themselves somehow. Will more air-freshener work? Or some cheap perfume? Um, bad idea. But is there more? How about the Senate race? John Kass, Chicago Tribune--do you remember Rose Laws?:

What shocked the Viagra out of political guys was that black book she kept, including client names and appetites.

The black book was seized by Chicago police in a raid. But this being Chicago, land of open government, the black book was dumped in a police warehouse and mysteriously lost.

Sadly, historians will never know which top politicians liked to dress up in furry squirrel suits and which ones insisted on the Bo Peep look.

In 2002, Laws was sentenced to 22 months in federal prison. The circuit's Outfit protector, Michael "Jaws" Giorango, was convicted of promoting a nationwide prostitution ring and sentenced to six months federal time.

Even before his last prison stay, Giorango had reinvented himself as a real estate investor.

Dem Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias, banker to Jaws. And real estate. Does that ring a bell? People trying to get their hands on real estate. As a means to an end.

By hook or by crook.

The seaminess never ends with these Illinois Dems.

P.S. The Hooker Connection and all the sleaze befouls the state and the race for the Obama Senate seat.
