Crooks and Liars and Wonkette have all the dirt on Jack Burkman, a registered lobbyist for the Family Research Council, and his apparent taste for picking up young women and attempting to pay them for sex. I'm sure he only intended to save their souls for Jesus.

Insert "Special Purpose" joke here.
Commited gay relationship no, fun with hookers yes. Well, at least we half agree.
Maybe he was just trying to win them back to our team--for the Lord, of course...?
And I guess that means Burkman knows what he's talking about when debating legal issues concerning lesbians :-)

pough reminds me of the old song "My God how the money rolls in," to the tune of "My Bonnie lies over the ocean."
Well, at least Stalin didn't figure in this.

Ed, I've met Jack. It was in 2000. It's a funny story actually. But I would highly doubt Jack is really a Christian, unless something's changed. Jack is a hired gun, pure and simple. I guess you could say he's a prostitute for Republican political causes. Bill Maher and he were good friends, and he was a frequent guest on the old Politically Incorrect show. Can you imagine Maher hanging out with a Christian?
The night I met him, we was filling-in for a nationally syndicated talk-show host. His schtick was all confrontation (he makes Hannity look like a piker). He didn't care what his guest believed. And in fact, during a commerical break, he asked my boss (Harry Browne), "You really believe this stuff, don't you?"
Washington, DC appears to be a playground for him, and every issue is a contact sport. He's very social. But he likes the contact. And if you kick his butt, he'll probably tip a beer with you later. The real story, as far as I'm concerned, isn't Burkman's proclivities, but that these "Christian" groups are so tangled with guys like Burkman on one extreme and Rev. Moon on the other.
And amazingly, FRC won't suffer from the loss of any support as a consequence.
