"Hooker" Author Keeps Job

GOP Gubernatorial candidate answers to party spokesman's "cheap hooker" comment.

Cara Karunaratne has more from Jefferson City.

Talent said on KLIK radio in Jefferson City that though the comment was wrong, it did not merit a dismissal.

Actuality: KLIK
RunTime:
OutCue: ... or in personal life like that
Contents: [186K WAV file - GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Jim Talent says comparing a state official to a hooker unexcusable but not worth firing the state party's PIO.]

Duwe removed the word hooker from his website and replaced it with the word "politician".
