Something that really bothers me is the price that he paid.
It tells me that other politicians are paying those prices.
If a man is willing to pay $5000 for extra-curricular sex...he values it too highly.
That means, in turn, that he would do more to get it for free.
That means that he is more likely to pass a bad feminist law because a mistress or a cute intern told him to.
That means that the rest of us American men are the ones who get screwed.
Because Spitzer’s general desire for variable sex will never be bred our voted out of the politician class, steps must be made to make sure that the VALUE of the extra-curricular activity is not set too high.
Because $5000 is too much money even for a man making $200,000 per year.
Rather than pay that, a politician would prefer to pass entire laws in order to get sex with a lobbyist or lobbyist’s “friend”. This is why I think Congress has completely succumbed to feminist ideologues.
I believe that this is why Congress has been going haywire over the past 10 years: behavior that was once overlooked and the women plentiful (and thus not worth $5000 an hour) is now so severely examined that women lobbyists and their “friends” can exact any legislative price in order to keep the extra-curricular activity humming on a more discrete basis...especially with Republican politicians like McCain.
In Germany, no male politician is going to even draft a law or make a phone call in order to get sex. For them, sex is worth $375 or the politician promises the intern that she will get to go on the junket to Greece. The power rests with the male politician, not his assistants.
Where sex costs $5000, it means the women who are near a sex hungry politician have far too much power and are certainly not interested in sleeping with him for free because he is a powerful man in and of itself. He becomes ripe for exploitation under these circumstances. Under these circumstances, the pathetic man might pass entire laws because a given intern “won’t like him” if he doesn’t.
My albeit somewhat limited experiences with politicians, is that they won't even pay for a beer let alone something requiring serious cash. When they want to party, someone else picks up the tab.
Now Spitzer was born with several silver spoons in his mouth, so maybe like the Kennedy's he could afford to pay for his own debauchery, but I would be very surprised if this guy was dumb enough to leave a financial trail that lead back to him.
But then again, a combination of big money, political power and egotistic arrogance has been the downfall of others. Perhaps this clown who has been so ruthless in roasting others thought he was immune. Pride cometh before the fall.
