THE HOTEL chain Marriott recently announced that it would cease selling "adult content"—ie, pornography—in its newer hotels. Anyone who knows a bit about the hotel business might find this move a bit confusing. After all, porn is still a moneymaker for chains like Marriott, which by some estimates was earning $175 per room, per year in smut peddling alone.
But there does seem to be a method to Marriott's madness. Politico's Ben Smith explains that Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts and a presumptive candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, recently left the Marriott board. The chain's owners are "longtime Romney supporters", Mr Smith notes. And social conservatives, apparently, hit Mr Romney hard on the porn "issue" during the ex-governor's 2008 campaign for the GOP nomination. (One critic called Mr Romney a "major pornographer.") So in some sense, Mr Smith argues, Marriott appears to be doing Mr Romney a "costly favor."

Done a lot of travel for business and stayed in a lot of Marriotts and always looked for the Book of Mormon. Never found any thing but Gideon's Bibles. Here's a list their hotels, among others.Something the Dog Said wrote: If only Mitt had the convictions to take the actions when he was still on the board. Although I note that this prohibition only goes to NEW Marriots. What is also interesting is that the Marriots are owned by members of the leadership of the Mormon church and they provide a Book of Mormons in each room so that you can read it as you watch the pay for porn in their rooms.

Tampa is known as the strip club capital of the country — and the city’s jiggle joints are planning on welcoming the GOP faithful with open, er, arms.

Indeed, club owners are salivating over the influx of Republicans, who by one estimate plunk down three times more cash at jiggle joints than Democrats.
