"I've Never Paid A Woman"

Italian politicians have a certain style that US ones can never hope to master

(CNN) -- Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has refuted allegations that he paid prostitutes to attend parties he hosted at his various homes.

In an interview with Italian magazine "Chi," the 72-year old denied he had ever paid for sex.

''I've never paid a woman. I never understood where the satisfaction is when you're missing the pleasure of conquest,'' Berlusconi told Chi.

Very true.

The old joke:

Mr. Bingley, have you ever paid for sex?

Dude, we ALL pay for sex...

Too bad Jimmy Carter didn't say that. Then again, looking at his spawn he might have thought the hooker gambit was the wise choice.

It sure trumps "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" on style points.

We surely do pay for sex. Prostitutes are cheaper.
