Sen. Rick Santorum Received Phone Sex Contribution

Senator Rick Santorum, who recently questioned his opponent's campaign donations, has received money from Jeffrey Prosser, described by the Columbia Journalism Review as a "world-class phone-sex operator" due to his involvement in offshore porn-talk traffic to Guyana. For this campaign cycle, Prosser and his wife have contributed, directly or indirectly, to several dozen Republican candidates, including $8,400 to Sen. George Allen and $4,200 to Sen. Jim Talent. Santorum's share of the phone sex take was received from Sen. Chuck Hagel's (R-Neb) Sandhills PAC, which has given Santorum $10,000. Prosser contributed $5,000 to the PAC on May 27, 2005.
