act that only rises to a federal offense because of a tainted federal law known as the Mann Act.

How they conveniently forget about the money laundering, bogus dummy corp stuff.

Spitzer, who is a pompous ass and is doing everything he can to avoid criminal prosecution.

...for the “common good” of the people. (what a great guy)

You know, one thing that the media doesn’t mention about all this is the impact this is going to have on kids other than Spitzer’s.

This is big news.

How many parents are going to have to explain what a “call girl” or a “prostitute” is to their “too young to know all the details” kids.

How will the schools handle this? Guaranteed, not the way conservative parents would want! (Please don’t start the home school debate here!)

These sleazy politicians who can’t keep it in their pants are absolutely changing the sexual climate and not in a good way. I am totally disgusted.

I see. The left is now gathering round its man. The man who did a lot to destroy businesses. A real good communist. Listen for the lame excuses and justifications for this man’s criminal behavior.

But once it became apparent that Spitzer was using his own private fortune to hire prostitutes, any real public purpose faded from the investigation. Nevertheless, the FBI converted it into a prostitution sting that "just happened" to embarrass a prominent Democratic officeholder.

So, is the Denver Post saying that Spitzer should have been allowed to skate because he is a prominent Democrat, or because the FBI is suddenly not interested in enforcing the law?

Remember, former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned in the wake of a congressional investigation into reports that several U.S. attorneys were fired precisely because they chose to prosecute serious crimes instead of pursuing fishing expeditions against Democrats.

Actually, they were fired because they were not pursuing serious crimes by Democrats. If that proved instructive and therefore they declined to let Spitzer skate, I say "Mission Accomplished".

There should be no Above-The-Law class in this country.

With relative morality, the only evil is getting caught.

Spitzer, whose ability to govern New York was irrevocably destroyed by the exposure of his penchant for hiring overpriced prostitutes...

Next week's editorial will no doubt be a call for prostitute price controls - we need our government to step in and put an end to the obscene profits (no pun intended) that prostitutes like these are making. They're price-gouging and taking advantage of the consumer, the proverbial "little guy" at the mercy of "Big Prostitution"! </sarcasm>
