A
Washington DC male escort who goes by the alias “Jim Bullet” was
outed by Internet bloggers as a former political reporter. The story
sent shockwaves throughout the prostitution business in the nation’s
capitol.
Bullet is furious with the damaging revelation and fired off irate
emails to the bloggers attacking them for digging into “mistakes of
his past that he deeply regrets.” In one email Bullet wrote
“Shouldn’t a person be given a second chance as a prostitute
without having his shameful past dragged back into the public?”
Many male and female escorts are worried this news could damage the
reputation of their industry. “It pulls us down the level of whoring
of a journalist and that tarnishes us like you wouldn’t believe,”
said a highly paid hooker whose clientele includes high-ranking
politicians and government officials.
Executives
who manage the escort services are demanding to know how a former
journalist was able to get credentialed as a hooker. “We have
standards and this was clearly a violation of them,” an escort
manager said.
