LOL.... Here's a better one (British humour!): How 'moral turpitude' became a 'criminal offense' in Spitzerland.... Moral failure bars dandy from US Sam Jones Friday March 21, 2008 The Guardian Life probably holds few surprises for a man who has worked as a prostitute and been nailed to a cross in the Philippines. Even so, the British writer, artist and dandy Sebastian Horsley was miffed to find himself refused entry to the US this week on the grounds of "moral turpitude". Horsley, 45, had travelled to New York on Tuesday to promote his gleefully seedy memoir, Dandy in the Underworld. But things started to go wrong at immigration at the city's Newark airport. "I'd been planning the go the US for six months," he told the Guardian yesterday. "I had got to the airport in full dandy regalia - top hat, long velvet coat, velvet scarf. One concession to their Ivy League sensibilities was that I had taken off my nail polish. When I put my finger in the scanner, they took me aside and interrogated me for eight hours." Horsley said he had a previous conviction in the US for possession of amphetamine sulphate but assumed it had expired. However, his book did not do him any favours with the immigration officers. "They said ... they knew I had been a crack addict, a heroin addict and a prostitute," he said. "The good news was that they'd read the book - but the bad news was they'd read the book, and I was deported for my notoriety and for being an alien convicted of a crime involving 'moral turpitude'." US officials said Horsley had been refused entry because of his conviction but he had not been deported. books.guardian.co.uk Was Horsley-the-Dandy put in the same plane as Eliot Spitzer's???
