Who Do You Have To Blow Around Here For A Mortgage?

Apparently that question isn’t so far fetched, as according to a recent Business Week article [link opens in new window] the lines between salacious rap lyrics and white collar hustlers have experienced post-coital blurring. Here’s a highlight:

Dozens of former brokers and wholesalers say the trading of sexual favors was so common that it came to be expected. Lane recalls one visit to a mortgage brokerage near San Jose (Calif.) in which the manager lewdly propositioned her in his office. She says she declined the advance, and he didn’t sell her any applications. But other female wholesalers didn’t have the same qualms about crossing the line. “Women who had sex for loans were known very quickly,” says Lane, who left New Century before it failed in 2007 and now works as a $200-an-hour life coach and motivational speaker in New York. “I didn’t want to be a mortgage slut.”

Mortgage Slut. That has a nice ring to it. I’m sure it would be an eye-catcher on any resume. It also cuts to the chase in explaining how Wall Street fucked Main Street.

Unfortunately, I’ve never had the pleasure of working with a morally and/or physically flexible woman who was dependent upon my “approval” in order to make things happen.  I imagine I would be a male whore, had only the opportunity presented itself more readily.

I just realized that any hopes I had of working in the Obama Administration are totally shot, due to my blog.  Oh well, there’s always the mortgage industry.

    I could understand being a home equity line slut, but an entire mortgage? Sheesh!

    True, right? Especially with Xmas coming up and home values falling. Why lay it on the line for a mortgage?

    You still need to write a post for me. Pweeeeease?

    that is some straight up crazy shit. knowing the obama like i do, he’d welcome you with open arms. he’s not going to have some crazy do-gooder honky up in his house.

    and this, “Wall Street fucked Main Street” has to go on your best of cd/dvd. THAT is a hook.
