Next month, delegates attending the Republican Party convention in New York City will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with sex and sex workers. According to published reports, thousands of escorts, prostitutes, strippers and their posses are headed for New York City in time for the GOP's late-August/early-September convention in Madison Square Garden.

"Agencies are flying in extra call girls from around the globe to meet the expected demand," the New York Daily News reported. A madam at a midtown Manhattan escort service told the newspaper that "girls" were coming in "from London, Seattle, California...for that week." With fees ranging from $300 to $1,000, it's no wonder that "everyone wants to work," the madam pointed out.

Sex workers at conventions are nothing new. According to The New York Daily News, "At the 1992 Democratic convention in New York, bikini-clad female oil wrestlers dropped their tops on a flatbed truck in front of Madison Square Garden," and "at the 1996 Republican convention in San Diego, an escort service in search of delegate dollars changed its name to GOP: Good Old-Fashioned Pleasure."

Workers in the world's oldest profession -- as some have called it -- don't discriminate on the basis of political affiliation, as Robyn Few, a $500-an-hour California call girl who now runs the advocacy group, Sex Workers Outreach Project, told the Daily News. No matter what you believe in, she says, "When you want to buy sex, you will."

There is nothing new about sex, hypocrisy and the "family values" GOP.

Remember Congressman Bob Livingston. Back in the mid-nineties, the Louisiana good old boy was poised to succeed the troubled Newt (I've never been in a marriage I couldn't get out of) Gingrich as Speaker of the House of Representatives, but he got waylaid by rumors of a major league sexual outing by Hustler magazine's Larry Flynt. Livingston "volunteered" to go into retirement. Well, he's not really retired; he became a top-notch Washington, DC lobbyist and has, I assume, been living happily ever after.
