This story has everything the Bloggernacle could ever want: Romney, the Marriotts and sex! Unfortunately, in my opinion, it’s mostly hot air.
To summarize: some people are saying Romney as a member of the board of the Marriott chain should have done more to prevent the hotels from making money on X-rated movies. Or R-rated movies. Or something.
OK, Economics 101: most public company board members deal with only the biggest issues. Operational issues like what kind of movies are seen in hotel rooms would not be appropriate to even bring up in a board meeting.
If you want to find a Mormon villain in this story, aim your wrath at the Marriotts themselves, who have indeed allowed pornography to be a significant part of Marriott hotel revenue streams. But keep in mind that some of the Marriott hotels have separate ownership and are franchisees.
