According to Mike Edmondson, State Attorney Barry Krischer's spokesman, cops secretly installed video cameras that taped from June 13-16 the sex-for-money at La Place, officially a lotion establishment at 7300 N. Federal Highway.

This is how it worked: Cops observed men driving into the parking lot, then walking into the joint. From license tags, the officers called up on computer screens the driver licenses of the cars' owners, then matched instantly the license photos with the faces of the men allegedly having sex.

So far, 25 of 42 men have been identified, and Edmondson said they should expect to receive misdemeanor prostitution summonses at home within two weeks.

And that's bad news for moneybags philanthropist Jim Batmasian, one of the alleged customers. He is Boca's largest landlord with prime parcels worth more than $24 million, according to records. And even worse news for his higher-profile socialite wife, Marta. She's on the board of 17 local charities and the chairwoman of the Palm Beach County Cultural Council.

Also expected to be summoned to court: jeweler Scott King, who owns King Jewelers in Miami and is a recipient of the National Republican Congressional Committee's leadership award.

Jason Ruppert is also on the list. Some may remember him as the 20-something Boca investment wunderkind who in 1995 was sentenced to a year in a federal lockup when he and his dad offered $1.8 million in investments in nonexistent radio stations.

pukes one and all - run them out of town

I seem to recall one in the NYPost a while back, about some councilmen slacking or something:
Deez Dems Doze!
(alluding to the NY "accent" when saying these, them, or those)

chock full of somethin'...

Here's another wholesome, upstanding, god-fearing gem of a man:

I always buy lotion in the grocery store...but hey..It IS Palm Beach :)

:evilgrin:

as in only a crazy person would go there and risk being "outed".

:rofl:

I wonder if they might have stopped in for a quickie?


We'll never know if the Jebster gets wind of it first.

on the other hand, I guess calling Limbaugh and Coulter "whores" gives the whores at this brothel a bad name.

...to their pants. "What's the quickest way to my underwear?"

jim is on the left and marta is the lady dressed in black. the woman next to jim pops up in the pictures i found,it must be matra best bud

afflictions and such! They were asking the HOs to go to church...trying to "save" them no doubt.

.....no one can hide from google!

What are those, snap on smiles?

wife, Marta? Why, I believe it is!!!!

going folks too.... :puke:

The hypocrisy, the false piety, the "holier than thou" moral majority.....there you have them folks!

:kick:

He and his wife are philanthropic legends in South Florida. They own miles and miles of commercial real estate and give (from what I'm told) almost all the yearly profits away to charitable causes.

This is not the repuke boogeyman he is being turned into in this thread.

I could tell more stories, but for the sake of anonymity let's just say I know him, and the brush strokes being applied in this thread are very broad and divisive.

A nice guy who contributes to the failed campaign of the right wing clown who was chair of the RECALL GREY DAVIS effort??

Hitler loved dogs, that doesn't make him pet owner of the year.....the guy is a REPUBLICAN. I've run out of sympathy for them since the 00 elections, frankly.

phil+anthropic
phil=love
anthro=human
love human
So what you're saying is that he's spreading the love around. :think: Yes, it does sound like Mr Batmasian enjoys spreading his "love" all across town.

(edit: I know what philanthropic means, I'm just being punny)

This type of system has been used for years to bust men and women entering bars and other places that are gay owned/friendly. This is high tech policing of sexuality. Do you think maybe some people will be "shaken down" for money to help someone's political coffers, or to pay for a new addition to the house? I wonder if any political party or parties are making sure the cops receive the appreciation they deserve for doing their job when they catch a high value target? I guess this is just what we have to put up with to root out terrorists,eh?

are, the kinkier it tends to be. Whazzup with that?
