"Living off girls is ok if the bling goes to our Hillary,
So no matter what Spitzer did, or screwed, he must go Free."

ALBANY - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been caught on a federal wiretap arranging to meet with a high-priced prostitute at a Washington hotel last month, according to a person briefed on the federal investigation.
An affidavit in the federal investigation into a prostitution ring said that a wiretap recording captured a man identified as Client 9 on a telephone call confirming plans to have a woman travel from New York to Washington, where he had reserved a hotel room. The person briefed on the case identified Mr. Spitzer as Client 9.
Mr. Spitzer today made a brief public appearance during which he apologized for his behavior, and described it as a “private matter.”
“I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family and violates my or any sense of right or wrong,” said Mr. Spitzer, who appeared with his wife Silda at his Manhattan office. “I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public to whom I promised better.”
Karl Rove delivers his first promised headline to Fox News. Wonder how Rove engineered this. LOL
The #9 indicates how many seconds he lasted.
Maybe we'll be treated to Spitzer and the Mrs. in swimsuits, dancing on a beach somewhere...
blech
Bill Clinton to Eliot Spitzer:
“Eliot baby, you just gotta ride it out, lie and stonewall, and viciously attack anyone who gets in your way! By the way, do you really have to pay for it you dorky nerd?”
For chrissakes...get a grip.
The POTUS accused of rape and assault...caught with his semen on an INTERN'S dress...and you think a freaking RAT Governor paying for sex is going to "shake the RAT party to its very foundations"???
Good luck with that!
Seriously now, his wife is very pretty and successful in his own right, but I guess that wasn’t enough for him.
Hey, who cares? It’s just sex! [/s]
SaaaaaaaaWheat!!! It couldn’t happen to a more deserving person, unless it happened to Jerry Brown, John Garamendi, or Arnold Schwartzenegger!!!
I bet you anything there are people trying to convince him to fight right now.
This explains his drive to declare legal abortion a “fundamental human right.”
Couldn’t have happened to a more sanctimonious, hypocritical, egomaniacal jerk.
Spitzer —> CLIENT #9!
Feds link Rhinebeck woman to pricey prostitution ring
I can see why Eliot would like a place called the Emperor's Club. It would suit his vanity.
in HER own right.
Geez...
So is Bernie Ward...
Does that matter?
Larry Craig pleaded guilty, but is it only wrong when there is an indictment?
Barney Frank was never indicted, so according to your reasoning, the whole male prostitution thing was okay? Is that your standard?
David Vitter doesn't care one whit about conservatism, as he's admitted going to this prostitute while running on a family values platform. David Vitter called for Clinton to resign (and he should have) when the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, but when Vitter was caught with a prostitute, it was a different matter.
The rumors that swirl around the Vitter case will make lovely fodder during an election year.
But hey, if an admitted patron of prostitutes is okay as long as he hasn't been indicted, whatever works for you.
Well put.
It isn't the prostitution that needs to take Spitzer down, it's the abuse of power while using the system in promoting it that requires him to take a long walk on a short dock.
