Hope For Texas Escorts

[+ Lucky]

All the escorts here that aspire to higher office may take heart (not Roman Heart!) from this story out of Dallas, Texas. Democrats there are supporting a former male prostitute for elective office...at least they were until his past was discovered. More shocking to me was the revelation that he used to sell cosmetics:

Texas Candidate Acknowledges Prostitution

 

Friday, February 17, 2006

 

(02-17) 07:16 PST DALLAS (AP) --

 

 

A man running for state representative acknowledged that he once worked as a prostitute but said he's turned his life around and doesn't regret his past.

 

 

Tom Malin, who has also sold Mary Kay cosmetics and now markets electricity, conceded that his illicit past could cost him the nomination in the March 7 Democratic primary.

 

 

"I've made mistakes in my life, and I've stood before my creator and I've accepted responsibility for my behavior," Malin said in Friday's Dallas Morning News.

 

 

On his campaign Web page, Malin said he is "committed to giving our families a voice in Austin, with a focus on education, the economy, and restoring a 'spirit of ethics' to our State House."

 

 

He said he would stay in the race.

 

 

"I don't regret my past, nor do I wish to shut the door on my past," he said. "I think anyone who has made mistakes in their lives can be a viable member of community and society."

 

 

Malin, a former member of the Dallas Citizens Police Review Board, is a managing director for the marketing arm of a Dallas electricity provider, his Web site says.

 

 

Malin said he's been sober for 13 years after being addicted to alcohol and suffering an abusive childhood.

 

 

The Dallas Tejano Democrats endorsed Malin on Thursday, before learning of his past.

 

 

"Obviously we will have to reconsider our decision based on the new information," Chairman Domingo Garcia said.

 

 

Malin faces retired salesman Jack Borden in the Democratic primary. The winner will run against incumbent Republican Dan Branch in November to represent a district covering much of central Dallas.

I actually aspire to lower office...really low...like, kneeling under a businessman's desk and blowing him while he's on a conference call. :9

I will be standing before my creators next week when I visit my parents in Florida, but the only things I'll accept are my father's brilliant investment advice ("Put your money in the bank and leave it there") and my mother's dry, over-cooked brisket.

Texas lawyer Harry Whittington, appearing in public for the first time since he was accidentally shot by Vice President Cheney during a quail hunt Saturday, called himself a "lucky" man today

I thought the better quote was, "My family and I are deeply sorry for everything Vice President Cheney and his family have had to deal with." :+
