Politicians and Prostitutes

This year is shaping up to be "hookergate" with high ranking officials paying for "companion" services. First of all, unless you're living under a rock, you have heard Eliot Spitzer was just taken down by a prostitute who went by the name of "Kristen". Now, there's a new high ranking official caught in the "hookergate" net. His name is Edward Nottingham and he's the Chief Judge of the 10th Federal District Court in Denver, Colorado. Seems the hookers refer to him as "Naughty". Unfortunately, this isn't his first run in with character issues. Last year, during his divorce deposition, it came out that he likes to spend 3,000 dollars a night at strip clubs but becomes so intoxicated he can't remember how he spent the money. Also, he parked in a handicap spot and when a woman who was truly wheelchair bound needed the space the judge threatened her with arrest. I'm amazed with this his moral character he's allowed to be in a position of judging other people. Hopefully, he'll been shown the exit door. You can read more about Judge Nottingham at this link.
