Fuck the Vote?

Keith Olbermann on MSNBC's Countdown tonight had a spot (albeit with - he gives hacks a bad name - Mickey Kaus of Slate) on a site that is supposedly offering conservative Republicans (and yes, there are conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans) sex with Dems if they agree NOT to vote for George W. Bush.

Now, they wouldn't give the name of the site out, but implied it was Fuckthevote.com. However, a visit there does not appear to offer this. Hence, I'm not linking to it.

I can't begin to imagine this is legitimate. First, I would consider it illegal to try to purchase a vote in such a way. Second, it's immoral for reasons that have nothing to do with sex between two consenting although unmarried adults.

To me, it sounds like something Karl Rove would dream up on the south end of a 5 martini lunch to discredit the Dems.
