I bumped one of the bottom paragraphs up to the top, so priceless is it. I wonder just how many of Obama's Springfield colleagues are going to end up in Ms. Dean's book. I mean, she did list the Democratic Party as her employer - by contract. Not a bad gig if you're an Illinois madam, I suspect! Too bad she's been busted by the Feds.
In a divorce document dated April 2007, Dean indicated she was employed by the Illinois Democratic Party on a contractual basis and worked out of an address in the 2600 block of South College Street. The 2007 Polk City Directory for Springfield lists Dean there.
A Pleasant Plains woman charged in federal court this week with participating in a multi-state prostitution network appears to have been at the center of the operation, according to court documents.
Records also show that Letha Deanna Dean, 61, was arrested in 1984 by local authorities for running a house of prostitution, a crime for which she pleaded guilty and was fined $500.
Dean was one of 17 people, mostly women ranging in age from 39 to 79, indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Peoria on conspiracy and coercion charges.
The indictment names 16 women and one man who allegedly persuaded women to engage in prostitution, provided the prostitutes with places to live and engage in sexual activity and arranged for customers.
The document says the 17 called one another on the phone to discuss various prostitutes and arrange to have the prostitutes travel from one place to another.
“It was mutually beneficial to the defendants and the prostitutes to have the prostitutes move periodically from one business to another business,” the indictment states.
The operation allegedly lasted from at least February 2007 until March 2008. Dean’s prostitution operation reportedly was run out of a home on Springfield’s south side.


Heh. About time the "Loyal Opposition" got caught with its pants down... I was beginning to think that the GOP had cornered the market on debauchery and sexual immorality.

If you are a Repub, you have sex. If you are a Dem, you have civil rights and oral sex, which is not really sex, at least for office holders.

Some really sneaky and bad stuff Pelosi and company are delivering. A bill called "Access" which is the opposite to what it should be called.
"This is a bad joke. Why are we doing this to ourselves? What is the utility of making us ever weaker, more vulnerable, and dependent upon people who hate us?
This is a bill that cries out for veto or massive revision. It's just a bill to curry favor with the beautiful people, not with ordinary citizens. It is exactly what we do not need, which is vastly more drilling and production of American oil and gas in American waters."

Read it all. It is short and important. We are being betrayed yet again by the Dem Congress. No drilling, no peace.

"--- This is a bad joke. Why are we doing this to ourselves? ---"
I'd say, Fred, that the answer i quite clear:
The Democratic Party clearly hates Americans, especially the plebeians and working class mokes they say that they would support the most.
The Dems are truly the party of the idle rich and the elites, and will stop at nothing to see this Republic destroyed and reduced to third-world or fourth-world squalor, as a ward of the international bankers.
