In light of Monday’s conviction of Marlin Williams in Sedgwick County’s first case of human trafficking, in which Williams took a 15-year-old girl from Wichita to Dallas to work as a prostitute, the latest New York Times column by Nicholas Kristof on the global issue of sex trafficking caught our eye. Especially this part of it: “A bill to strengthen federal anti-trafficking efforts within the U.S. was overwhelmingly passed by the House of Representatives, led by Carolyn Maloney, Democrat of New York. But crucial provisions to crack down on pimping are being blocked in the Senate in part by Sens. Sam Brownback and Joe Biden, who consider the House provisions unnecessary and problematic.”

And you think you have problems in your chosen careers? Sheesh. Try pimping. We rate almost as low as reporters in national surveys.
It would have been nice to present the other side of the story and a link to the legislation.
I’m sure the bill is not called the “anti-pimp” legislation.
“Sam Brownback and Joe Biden”
————————————
And Brownback gets the headline?
Poor Joe….
I’m irked at both of them.
Don’t think he has a ring, do you?
Republican congressmen are, in reality, are all pimps, don’t you think?

Thanks Sam and Joe. The rest of them honkies don’t understand that I’m just providing a public service.

public service – fo shizzle ma nizzle
Shouldn;t the headline read
“Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden blocks anti pimp legislation.” ?
I guess that’s not newsworthy. Biden is a Democrat.
Of course Brownback is blocking the anti-pimping legislation; he can’t stay in the senate forever, and pimping is his fallback position.
