L'Affaire Spitzer

[Universe Prince]

Libertarians are understandably of two minds about L'Affaire Spitzer. On the one hand, a dedicated public servant will probably lose his job, and may be indicted, due to consensual liaisons and payments that should be a private matter completely outside the ambit of Justice Department wiretaps. On the other hand, Spitzer's been hoisted by the moralistic petard that he can regulate any and all sexual behavior with which he disagrees, wherever it occurs. As Barabash said Monday, 'It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.'

I know the impulse is for Dems/Libs to run to this guy's defense but I have to say, I'm totally floored that this is Spitzer who is doing this crap.

As I said to my father yesterday, the only thing stupider than a preacher getting caught "visiting" a prostitute is a politician who has practically made a career or moralistic crusades against prostitution and campaigned on ethics getting caught "visiting" a prostitute.

never realized it,how does a politician whose against such thing have access to it?
it reeks of corruption
meaning publicly he slams it,but vote for it privately and acts surprised when he loses.

There is going to be an investigation into that, I think.

Perhaps the ides is that the sin is not in doing it, it is in getting caught doing it.

How does the joke go?

THREE RELIGIOUS TRUTHS:

a. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
b. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith.
c. Baptists do not recognize each other at Hooters or at the liquor store.

You could also see this from the angle that streetwalkers could easily be diseased and are a public nuisance, but $4000 call girls are neither--probably college girls with mercenary moral standards.

Spitzer does look like sh*t and fell in it, though.

Money.

Spitzer is one of those super rich people liberals despise in principle, but love to vote for.

uhm
any ivy league university will do

if you look at it financially ,it`s not really possible for any of these universities to not have some girls & boys not think of doing this.
Mcdonalds will not cover this.
note the large amount of college themed websites out there.

If one suggests to some sweet young things that they can make $3K in an afternoon for a totally discreet afternoon or evening with some politician or rich dude, I imagine that one would find a really ample supply.

Hugh Hefner pays less than that, and the Sweet Young Things get their nekkid bods displayed to millions of people. I don't think Uncle Hugh has any difficulty at all finding 'talent'.

Come on Kim. You really should think before you post stuff like this.

[Rich]

The Republican leader of the New York Senate has promised to start impeachment proceedings if he doesn't resign in 48 hours.

[Amianthus]

The Republican leader of the New Jersey Senate has promised to start impeachment proceedings if he doesn't resign in 48 hours.

Err, how does the New Jersey Senate impeach the Governor of New York?
