View from a Rhino House: circus, circus….

The woman convicted of running a politically-sensitive prostitution ring in 2008, & who is currently running for office as New York City comptroller, was arrested & charged with selling prescription drugs for cash, it was reported this week.

In yet another “you-couldn’t-make-it-up” chapter of the city’s silliest campaign season, Kristin Davis allegedly sold prescription pills repeatedly to a “federal informant” over four months this earlier year, reports said.

Davis is running for the post of comptroller, a job controlling a not insubstantial budget, which is also being sought by disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer.

Spitzer is attempting a political resurrection after previously resigning as Governor over a prostitution scandal. Davis claimed at the time that Spitzer was one of her customers & that she provided him with prostitutes.

In the new case against her Davis is charged with distributing & possessing with intent to distribute, a controlled substance. Each (of the 4 counts she faces) carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Following her initial court appearance, Davis was released on a $100,000 bail & ordered to surrender her passport.

Her attorney Daniel Hochheiser said if Davis is indicted she will plead not guilty.

Davis spent four months in jail for her role in the prostitution scandal. Spitzer was never charged with any crimes.

The NYC campaign circus has also distinguished itself after Anthony Weiner, who resigned from Congress in 2011 after he admitted sending out pictures of his (fully occupied) underwear to various young women, launched a campaign to become the mayor. Immediately after which a website published further pictures of his penis which he had been sharing with a number of other young women across the web, subsequent to his resignation & “therapy”.

It seems that in NYC at least, not having penis does not stop you from being a complete dick (but clearly it helps).
