Conservative Republican Mayor Greg Davis’ Adult Gay Canadian Bookstore Problem
Which is worse:
He’s a Republican Family Values (read: Anti-Gay) Conservative who is, apparently, gay;
He’s spending taxpayer money to buy gay stuff in a gay adult bookstore; or
He’s spending said Taxpayer (And that’s Mississippi Taxpayer) money in a foreign country!?!? (Canada)
“At this point in my life and in my career, while I have tried to maintain separation between my personal and public life, it is obvious that this can no longer remain the case … While I have performed my job as mayor, in my opinion, as a very conservative, progressive individual — and still continue to be a very conservative individual — I think that it is important that I discuss the struggles I have had over the last few years when I came to the realization that I am gay”
Apparently he has misspent just under 200 thousand dollars, but only $67 of that was at “Priape, Canada’s premiere gay lifestyle store and sex shop”
He doesn’t remember what he bought at the gay adult sex shop in Canada.
So, here’s your assignment. Go to Priape and find something that costs about 67 dollars. Report back.
Have you read the breakthrough novel of the year? When you are done with that, try:
or Paperback

Canada is kinda of a big place. I would need an expense account and perhaps $2500 as a per idem. Billable to the RNC?
The website says there is a “Warrior Mask” for sale for $65.
And what the hell is a “very conservative progressive individual”?
It’s not what goes into the ass the defiles you. It’s what comes out of the ass the defiles you.
At a guess, someone who is neither conservative nor progressive, combining the worst aspects of people who are either.
I’m having trouble understanding a lot of the stuff that FTB bloggers are quoting today. It’s almost as if sanctimonious religious fuckwads speak an entirely different language.
Two movies…39.95 + 24.95 = 64.90 + tax = 67.00?
Canada must have had a bigger influence on him than he realises. One of our national political parties was called the Progressive-Conservative Party, until it merged with the Reform/Alliance and became just Conservative. At the provincial level, there are a whole bunch of PC parties still around.
Still don’t know what he bought for $67. Must have made up his own gift-pack!
Remember tax is 15% in Toronto, so you’re looking for something that costs about $59 or $60. 😀
He really is a hypocrite. Apparently he asked for 69 and said “I’ll owe you two.”
@isilzhaveni good try but Quebec – the scoundrels – applies the federal sales tax (5%) first then the provincial sales tax (8.4%) on top of that total (taxing the tax), giving them an effective tax rate of 13.925% so his actual purchase was more like ~$59.80 depending on whether that $67 is accurate or they left off the cents.
@ Kit “Realistic” replicas of what I assume are porn stars’ anatomy can be purchased for $59.95 😉
Honestly, the only part of this I care about is the misuse of taxpayer money — everything else, well, that’s between him and his wife.
@Kit: You’re a few years behind. The total sales tax in Ontario used to be 15%, (8%PST+7%GST), but the reformatories dropped the GST to 5% several years ago.
Is that Canadian or US dollars? If the latter, what’s the date, so we can get the exchange rate?
