        Why quit? Perfect personality for Republican politicians. He fits right in. All they have to do is vote for their side.

        Hey Franks, I know of a few willing women. For a small finders fee of $5 million, I can make the connection. Call me at 777-9311

        So those young women wouldn't have sex with him and carry his baby for $5mil. I bet they wouldn't have done it for $50mil. Too bad it's too late to nominate them for Time magazine's person of the year.

        "he wanted to use sex as a means to impregnate them." Only after attempting other means to impregnate them, such as by voodoo doll and hypnosis.
