So he pitched it all for a piece of a$$.

Democrat presidential material he is.

I bet he could put our economy back on track and maintain peace in the world like we had in the '90's, eh?

[Fishtalk]

I wonder how Spitzer would feel if his daughters were servicing men like the ones he used.

Those women were somebody’s daughters, somebody’s sisters.

No I’m not defending the women but at best I’d expect a former prosecutor to be mindful of the law for God’s sake.

FWIW, I hope ol' Troopergate does try to stick it out...

From Troopergate to Schtupergate...

He’s a democrat as per his website.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

SPITZER: "I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas, the public good, and doing what is best for the state of New York."

Wrong! It's very much about individuals and their individual responsibilities to do the right thing.

Democrats are all alike. For them, it's all about the propagation of the hive.

Spitzer Is Linked to Prostitution Ring

The NY Sun and Post referred to this Times' story.(printer friendly)

Gov. Spitzer tied to prostitution ring

That's a printer friendly update from the NY Daily News.

So much for NY's "f'n steamroller," as he described himself. FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.

[pissant]

Maybe the money laundering aspect of this was a front for dubious interests.

[mewzilla]

From Troopergate to Schtupergate...

ROTF!!!!

[mware]

Patterson is a Republican?!? This just gets better and better.

Yes he is a RINO. Hand picked by Spitzer, I heard. Peter King said that he has never heard a bad word about the guy.

I did here on Fox that one of the bills that Patterson wants instituted is that police can not shot to kill when fired upon. He wants them to shoot them in the leg or arm instead.

I saw this twice in NYC. Both times I was in cab with others, sight seeing. The cabbies loved it and said that it was a fairly normal thing. That was in 1964 and 66.

[Miss Didi]

Sure. ;)

[Joiseydude]

I’m sorry but I have no idea what BDSM is.

I’m thinking some reference to Bondage, sado-masochism?

If Eliot simply wanted sex without a condom....well that’s just dumb, for him as much as for her.

_________________________________________________

Yes it means Bondage, Disciplince, Sado-Masochism.

When it gets to the prices of $5K/hr, the client expects the sex to be without, although the girl might be reluctant to do it.

But money often wins.

******“The Web site of the Emperors Club VIP displays photographs of the prostitutes’ bodies, with their faces hidden, along with hourly rates depending on whether the prostitutes were rated with one diamond, the lowest ranking, or seven diamonds, the highest. The most highly ranked prostitutes cost $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said.”******

If Spitzer was one who paid $5,500 for a p.o.a., then I can understand one of the reasons for having to pay high taxes in NYS. Thanks, Eliot!

NY Lt Gov Paterson is an extremely liberal Democrat who received the Democratic; Independence; and Working Families parties nominations in the 2006 election.

[Miss Didi]

WATCH Sptizer's full statement.

[trisham]

Someone mentioned that the daughters are going to be in therapy after this. It’s very possible. I also wonder what kind of father he’s been all along. The poor kids are not starting out with a very positive view of men or marriage.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

So his wife kept her maiden name.

Prescient, obviously.

[EGPWS]

Talk about creepy, his wife and daughters are wearing boots in your picture like the ones the working girls were wearing.

Perhaps they tote the boots in preparation for the sh!t they know that they someday will have to walk through because of dad.
