Emperor Eliot IX

Public Trust: The only thing more disgusting than allegations of Eliot Spitzer disgracing his family, state and party by patronizing a prostitution ring is his treating the governorship of New York as a bargaining chip.

---

When New Yorkers elected Spitzer in 2006 with a historic 69% majority, they thought they were making a new Eliot Ness chief executive. And his hopes were said to include becoming the first Jewish president of the United States.

But now Spitzer will enter the history books as "client number 9," as he is identified in a federal sting operation against the Emperor's Club, a sex ring serving wealthy clients in New York, Washington, Miami, London and Paris.

Last month, before testifying to Congress on the bond industry, Spitzer apparently paid $4,300 to meet with one "Kristen" in a room registered to "George Fox," the name of a friend and campaign contributor, at Washington's historic Mayflower Hotel. The New York Post quoted sources saying Spitzer has been soliciting high-priced hookers for six years and possibly for over a decade.

Spitzer was barely in office when he was accused of improperly using the State Police to track the movements of his chief GOP adversary, State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno. Spitzer was soon also under a cloud regarding a suspicious loan from his father to repay $4.3 million borrowed for his unsuccessful 1994 Democratic primary campaign for state attorney general.

The emperor has no clothes...........

[Travis McGee]

Sure he does!

[Kaslin]

It seems that when Republicans such as disgraced ex-Rep. Mark Foley are caught in scandal, the press reports it as tainting the entire party. But let a Democrat like Spitzer become enmeshed in sleaze and ABC News waxes philosophical, calling it a "fall worthy of Shakespeare."

This says it all

Fox is either really angry or has some explaining of his own to do with his family.

The bitch set me up!

Well, Emperor Ted Kennedy, at minimum, got drunk and drove a female staffer to drown in shallow water off a bridge. Quite possibly, he knocked her up and "arranged" the accident to ensure her silence. He is now considered a leading senator and elder statesman for his party.

Why should Eliot Spitzer settle for any less? For a far lesser "indiscretion"?

[verga]

I’d love to know who client numbers 1 through 8 are!

1) William Jefferson Clinton

2) Bill Clinton

3) W J Clinton

4) Slick willy Clinton

5) William J. Clinton

6) W. Jefferson Clinton

7) B. J. Clinton

8) B. Jefferson Clinton

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

He’ll be making a statement at 11:30 ET, according to Fox.....

[syriacus]

Typical Democratic faker.

[BatGuano]

BJ used his real name...William BLYTHE

He remembers his father as a gambler and drunk who abused his mother. Typical Clinton BS..he never new his father and there is some doubt that it was Blythe. Most likely he is an illegitimate ( I am tempted to use the B word ) son of a mother that was married 5 times, twice to the same man.

What trash. Now Spitzer is carrying on in the best Democrat tradition.

[blondee123]

I'll just bet Obama YOmama is pretty p.o.'d at him for taking the spotlight, the headlines & every MSM outlet away from his campaign!

Too bad this didn't break closer to November!!! You think the Hildabeast & Bubba had anything to do with it???? Hmmmm!

2) Bill Clinton

3) Hillary Rodham

4) Hillary Clinton

The man who abused Bill Clinton's mother was his stepfather, whose surname he adopted.

William Blythe "married" Bill Clinton's mother when he was still legally married to another woman--so even if he was Bill's biological father, WJC could be called the B word.
