"...Democratic New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer will be fighting for his political life following an allegation he met with a high-priced prostitute last month at a Washington, D.C., hotel...As governor, though, he's been out front on climate change issues perhaps more than any other. David Sassoon, writing at SolveClimate.com, thinks the scandal has potential to slow the entire nation's climate actions: "Spitzer's rendez-vous, the night before Valentine's day s'il vous plaît, will unfortunately strike a blow at progress on global warming, whether through his resignation, unavoidable distraction if he stays in office, and/or his diminished effectiveness. He has been a Governor who has shown -- in the absence of federal action -- leadership on global warming, which began during his tenure as New York State attorney General, and whose good effect endures."..."

As if that’s a priority for him right now. As if.
What a ridiculous (but oh so typical) read from the deranged ‘greenpeace’ types
BRAVO! Slow down the sham artists.
I’d say the climate in his house dropped about 50 degrees or so over the last few days
I would say he had global warming in his shorts.
Please pass the popcorn.
Setback for new scam!
This guy gets caught seeing hookers, and somebody manages to link it to the climate.
I must say, I am impressed!
If only this Spitzer scandal was a set back to all liberal agendas! Oh How Happy I Would Be!
“Spitzer Rents Hookers - Women, Children, Planet Hardest Hit”
Talk about your carbon offsets!
This is a real setback to the economy. Some hot looking working girls are not going to have the funds to pump back into the economy.
SUCH A LOSS TO THE WORLD ! LOL
SMOKIN' HOT LAAAY-DIES!
Mr. Spitzer also had prosecuted at least two prostitution rings as head of the state’s organized crime task force. In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.
Do you think Spitzer was motivated by a favored group to put the squeeze on another--Hookers Compete By Using Political Dirty Trick - Spitzer? ;)
One scandal is held up because of another, you can’t make these up any funnier.
You gotta be, uh, kidding me.
Is there anything in the world NOT related to global warming? Give it a rest already!!
The gov of a major state is caught breaking the laws he’s supposed to enforce. The very laws he was prosecuting people for just a few years ago.
While breaking these laws over a period of years he was paying large amounts of money to an illegal enterprise which often has ties to organized crime. He was also responsible for leading prosecution of organized criminals.
And these fools are worried about his leadership on the farce known as global warming?
Does the Emperor Club offer carbon offsets?
