Sep. 19th, 2007 12:17 pmFrom Cicero's Second Phillippic against Antony;
"You assumed the manly gown, which you soon made a womanly one; at first a public prostitute, with a regular price for your wickedness, and that not a low one. But very soon Curio stepped in, who carried you off from your public trade, and, as if he had bestowed a matron’s robe upon you, settled you in a steady and durable wedlock. No boy bought for the gratification of passion was ever so wholly in the power of his master as you were in Curio’s."
Yes, the basic founder of legal justice as we understand it today did in fact call MARK ANTONY as in Caesar's buddy a WHORE in a major political speech.
And we thought the politicians of today were mudslingers....
