Oh I’m sure they already have....

Listening to the leftist pundents trying to make excuses for this lout are incredulous.

This is the same jacka$$ who made a big deal about busting a hooker ring.. he was the top prosecutor in the state before he was governor.. and here he is engaged in the very acts he was condemning others for and ruining lives over.

The guys dirty as sin, take it to the bank.. this hooker revelation is the least of his crimes.. though based on what has been released he’s committed server FEDERAL felonies with those acts alone.

There is way more dirt coming on this guy, the hooker thing is just the tip of the iceburg, and probably the least disgusting thing (other than to his wife and particularly his daughters) that he’s done.

I’ve said it in other threads, and I’ll say it here.. I cannot understand how any man with a daughter could have an affair, let alone visit whorehouses and prostitutes. A father’s job is to show their daughter what a good man looks like and what a man deserving of them should be. This guy has 3 teenage daughters at home that will now thanks to his selfishness will never be able to fully trust a man in their entire lives... There is a special place in hell for guys who do this.

This wasn’t a spur of the moment drunken one time thing.. this wasn’t a lonely oops... this was a guy who repeatedly planned his events, and used other mens daughters as peaces of meat for his own sexual picadillos. How any father of a girl could do this is beyond me.

I have no sympathy for this guy at all... his daughters get all the sympathy in the world.... their father destroyed a part of their lives that should be sacrosanct. About the only violation a father could commit on his daughters that I could imagine to be worse, would be incest.

To watch people try to defend this man is an abomination.. I don’t care about D or R, that’s irrellevant, the man has shown himself to be beneath contempt.

I still don't "get it". I've seen the types of girls he was with, and I've seen his wife, and I've come to the conclusion that he has a lot in common with my (dead) leg humping dog.

Maybe the creep will get squashed by a car chasing something to screw, as happened to my dead dog. :-)

When I went back to the pic of her on this thread, Hubby jumped up and complained that he couldn’t see her nipples...I had to point out that her EYES were blurred out, too.

CNN talking head just said...ROFLMAO...”former New York State prostitutor”...I was wondering if he said that on purpose and was watching his face...just a couple of seconds ago, realization of what he’d just said dawned. He recovered well, but the EXPRESSION on his face was priceless!

what got him caught was making repeated cash transfers in suspicious amounts which banks are required by law to report.

Spitzer also went to the bank after the transfers to have his name removed from the transactions which added to the bank going to IRS about the suspicious nature of the money transfers.

“I had no idea what his party affiliation was until I found it on FR.”

I don’t know what media you were getting, but I heard it the same day as the BIG news. Can’t remember the source though. Every day I watch major TV news afternoon and at night, listen to CSPAN, and see BBC world news at 7 pm.
