   Well, there was an ep a few weeks ago about a famous hooker whose fantasty   
   was to fall inlove with a man that ended up with the man being a former   
   customer of hers who had fallen in love with her.

   Never heard of it, but it sounds interesting.

   Yeah, I remember that one, but I prefer "Lincoln Lover" and the one with   
   the racoist old lady.

   Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
