As we wait for his looming judgement day, a lot of you guys are new on here or at least somewhat new and dont know the whole history of Joey Dauben and some of the crazy things he has done. Lets go all the way back 7 years ago when he decided to challenge Joe Barton, probably the most senior Republican in the House, in a primary. Well back then, Joey had high standards. He didn't just take homeless girls off the street for free (Presley) and sleep with them, no back then he had a sophisticated way to go about it.

Joey Dauben
And finally... the idea of politicians metaphorically prostituting themselves is not new. But Joey Dauben, a 24-year-old running for Congress in Texas, recently decided to take the GOP in an interesting direction by literally prostituting himself. Dauben came up with the idea of raising campaign dollars by going on dates with local residents - yes, just $25 could buy you a fun-filled evening of dancing, bowling, or miniature golf.
Dauben was forced to drop the plan after a barrage of criticism, but one has to wonder where this might have gone if he'd seen it through. Just think - if a date went well, Dauben could have had an entire menu of further donation options available. $50 for a discreet fumble in the back of a taxi on the way home, $75 for a make-out session on his doorstep, $100 if he invites you in for coffee... I wonder what you'd have to do to get "Pioneer" status?
You know, there could be something to this idea - personally I think Dauben should ignore the critics and press on with his plan. And if I'm not mistaken there's a currently-unemployed conservative out there who would make an absolutely perfect campaign manager:
