Spitzer

[horseofcourse]

And Spitzer is important because?? So he is what...the 73,913th politician lacking in a unified moral stance?? This is as big a non-story as Larry Craig's "wide" stance. AS long as they're not involved with minors I could care less who they are "not having sex with!" (or whatever clinton spewed about that!)...who they are having sex with...who they are seeking to have sex with...who they are paying to have sex with. They're politicians...the most corrupt people walking the planet for the most part. It is all quite humorous...you had the Hart's, Clinton's and all the Kennedy's...then recently all the repub stuff with Foley, Craig, Vitter, the guy in Illinois who was married to the Star Trek babe...he was so important I have no clue what his name is...gingrich...the youthful indiscretions of that Hyde guy when he was in his mid 40s!! Now another big democrat in NY down the tubes.

All I know is the one thing about both big time repubs and dems you can count on is these guys are getting massive amounts of non-marriage tail non-stop be it male or female...endlessly.

Today is the first time in my life I ever heard of the guy. Another brain dead politician...wow. Big surprise it has happened once again. I guess if I lived in New York I'd probably care more about it.

So I don't know much about the guy...would this news qualify as funny or sad?? You simply cannot find a non-corrupt politician anywhere. It is a null set. And we get tossed into elections with both sides continually throwing up more curruptness endlessly. AS a nation, whether we like it or not...I think it is going overboard on the endless fascination of who people are having sex with...especially politicians.

i don't think it's fascination that caught spitzer. i'd think it was more his dumb luck to frequent an illegal business that was being investigated...of course the salaciousness of the illegal business he was engaged in will send this thing off and running.

i wonder if he'll resign today. i think he will. and then he'll need a defense lawyer, as well as a divorce attorney. but maybe he can get the wife to hang around long enough to get the criminal stuff out of the way, for some reason the wife by the side is felt to be a necessity when facing criminal charges.

He wasn't going to resign immediately. That's just rumor swirling and of course opponents calling for it. It was probably also Wall St. and certain aspects of the corporate world celebrating a bit as well, LOL. Strategically, unless there is an abuse of office, state dollars, fraud, etc. -- a politician will not immediately resign unless it's to prevent a matter or matters from getting worse and opening the door to massive liabilities. It's assess first, then damage control if need be. If there's much more -- then bail. Everyone here expects that the dam will break soon, but whether or not it is the case is another issue.

If he resigns, in reality it won't be due to "what he did" -- more so due to him now being "unable to lead". The hypocrisy and complete elimination of his integrity will make him completely unable to lead.

I don't think he'll get indicted, not for the criminal act in and of itself. If he does, it might be more for who he is rather than what he did. Although I have zero background in criminal law, but some practical experience, it is somewhat rare for "clients" of prostitution businesses to be criminally indicted or prosecuted for their illegal act. Of course if there were other issues -- abuse of office, state funds, etc., then it's a different story.

Fools.




This is none of your concern.

You are not allowed to play.

This incident is between the warring families of government; The Democrate's and the Repulicanano's.




The real dealing has already taken place. A federalis source has let one side know what is about to happen. If they do not have enough on the other side----well the gov gets given up. What plays out now is scripted.

Remember.....this is through the looking glass here... where the crinminals adjudicate the criminals. The guilty judge the guilty.


Especially in DC where everyone cheats,steals,lies to and fucl<s everyone else.



And don't think tradeoffs have not already taken place. You don't think this guy is the only "usual suspect" on that clients list---do you?

[Mortimer]

I win.





I plant my flag to claim this thread:

Allegedlly Spitzer has been informed -- by Republican party leaders -- that he has 48 hours to resign or articles of impeachment will be introduced and brought forth.

Perhaps the clock is running.

Turns out old Elliot didn't just get caught by accident. The IRS was looking at the suspicious movements of large amounts of cash from his accounts as possible corruption and that led to the prostitution ring. So on the bright side, he wasn't taking bribes. In addition, did he use State transportation to his trysts? How about State police for protection during his "private matters"?
The real cherry is that he used his "friend's" name for hotel rooms etc that got Mr. Fox involved in a Federal investigation. What a sc-mbag.

Well said also... I have the same feeling in general about most politicans, but this guy has been the biggest hypocrite of all and to get where he is, f*cked with the sport I loved.....thoroughbred racing in N.Y. state. He should be exposed as the fool he is to all the nation.

HA! good luck with that approach moron.

He should be fired, hes a pig. A disgrace
