Shows how much Turkey values members of the US Congress. Over thataway, the hot properties prostitution-wise are Russian and Ukrainian women. (So much so, in fact, that merely uttering the phrase “Russian girlfriend” will cause male college students to snicker and female college students to display severe disgust.) ---
