Police say granny, 80, ran prostitution ring
Claims she needed to supplement Social Security checks
LINDENWOLD, New Jersey (AP) -- Police made a surprising discovery when they busted the alleged madam of a prostitution ring called "August Playmates": The woman running the show was an 80-year-old grandmother.
Authorities arrested Vera Tursi last month during a sting operation to crack down on prostitution rings posing as legal escort services. Police say Tursi ran the business from her two-bedroom apartment, taking $60 of every $160 she charged clients for one hour with a call girl.
. . . . .
The police should not have arrested her.
Instead, she should be put forward by George W. "Our Dear Leader" Bush as a sterling example of planning for retirement and the entrepreneurial spirit.
What better way to get "a head" in this world.

This is the sort of bold leadership should be lauded, not persecuted.
From what I know of pandering, charging a 40% commission an extremely employee friendly rate in this business.
From the little I've read, it appears that she was a "hands on" manager who was not afraid of "getting her hands (also face, and upper torso) dirty".
This is the new American economy, where "service" is the name of the "unnamed client".
The only regret I see in this story is that she was not working on Wall Street.
There, she could have had a very comfortable life by doing to investors what her girls were doing to the Johns.
And what the Republicans are doing the entire country.
