Kids, pay attention for another valuable lesson in how to be a hypocrite in politics.
NY Governor Elliott Spitzer is in trouble for allegedly having a hooker travel from New York to Washington to spend the night with him at the Mayflower Hotel. Normally, that would be a matter for no one but Spitzer and his wife (who probably had some questions about why he had other companionship on Valentine's Day).
Ah, but here's the rub, if you'll pardon the term. Earlier in his career, as he was making a name for himself on the way to being named Crusader Of The Year by Time magazine, Spitzer busted two big prostitution rings. In the past tense, it was not okay with Spitzer for you to pay for consensual carnal fun -- but in the present tense, it is okay for him to do the same. Understand the rules now, kids?
One more thought. The story is that Spitzer paid $4,300 for one night with "Kristen," the call girl. Compare that to 1990, when Richard Gere paid $3,000 for a whole week with Julia Roberts. Now that is inflation.

Maybe he was working "undercover" to bust yet another ring? He just hadn't yet accumulated all the evidence he needed. Yes, that's the ticket....

This one is gonna get nasty before it's over...since the "service" has mentioned they viewed Client 9 as "difficult" and wanting services that might be considered "unsafe".
Why Silda (the wife) stood next to him while he made his 67 second speach/admission is beyond me....maybe her saving grace she is thinking "at least I'm not Mrs. Daneil 'I'm not gay' Craig...."
Once again the party of "Family Values" shows their true colors!!!!
anonymous, Spitzer is a Dem. Does the Democratic Party advertise itself thusly? Usually liberals -- excuse me, progressives -- use that term to refer to Republicans!
Oh he is a Dem. Nevermind. So, if he is a Dem and not for family values, what is all the fuss?
