There is an ancient joke that goes something like this:

A stinking rich old Robber Baron from the late 1800's (who was long past his physical prime) held an extravagant socialite party, all the names who were names (whether or not they hated, opportunistically stabbed in the back, or eternally and wantonly with malice of forethought tried to destroy one another) gathered to - with great insincerity - hide their true feelings and have a publicly perceived good time (all media were there with all their fellational obsequiousness), with only the occasional jaw tightening zinger and a couple of corporate attorney driven "honor killings" to disturb the peace.

Very soon an extremely attractive young woman caught the host's eye. With scant schmoozing beyond introductions and leaving seduction to other players (whom he regarded as "losers") the pitiless larcenist got straight to the point:

Will you sleep with me for a million dollars?

he asked.

Blushing coyly, the young woman enthusiastically gushed:

Anytime, you handsome, smooth talking devil you

To which the gadzillionaire host queried:

Well, very good. How about nine dollars and thirty two cents?

To which the gorgeous young woman drew her skirts to one side, flashed her indignent eyes and icily asked:

What sort of woman do you think I am?

To which the elderly Robber Baron host thusly replied:

We've already established that fact, we're just haggling over the price

Washington is full of discount political whores.
