We need better verbiage. Whores are unfairly maligned; they provide a service for money, just like any other service-industry worker...and if the oligarchs don't stop offshoring our jobs and replacing American workers with technology, it's going to become the only viable career for an increasing number of Americans.

Joe and Mika are media assholes.
Marco Rubio is a corporate asshole.

It works because nobody likes an asshole anyways.
