Whore hoppers for Hope

The Smoking Gun reports that two men in Chicago have been arrested in recent weeks on charges of solicitation of prostitution -- while wearing Barack Obama T-shirts:

Memo to Barack Obama supporters everywhere: If you plan on soliciting some sexual favors from a prostitute, perhaps you should leave your t-shirt promoting the Democrat's presidential campaign at home. For the second time in recent weeks, a Chicago man has been nabbed on a misdemeanor rap for soliciting sex from an undercover officer while promoting the hometown pol's White House bid.
Sherman Cleveland, 40, was arrested last week and had his car impounded after he allegedly offered a female police officer money if she'd perform a sex act upon him, according to Officer Laura Kubiak, a Chicago Police Department spokesperson.

There must be an innocent explanation. These grassroots activists were just trying to do some outreach to the sex-worker community, canvassing the precinct, when they said something to these undercover cops about recent polls showing that approval ratings of Congress are so low, they're below the low job approval numbers of President Bush. A simple misunderstanding . . .
