Eliot Spitzer says buying sex from hookers was less of a "violation" of his marriage than a love affair with an "emotional component" would have been. * * * Asked why not just have an affair, instead of going to hookers, Spitzer said, "I know this is parsing it very thin, but the emotional component would have in some ways been a worse violation."

LOL! I didn’t believe that was the real title of the article so I had to check it out. Sure enough!

But he has to have a different hooker each time. Using the same one might entail *liking*. (an emotion)

That reminds me of this NPC character in one of my favorite games.... . Fernando’s New Beginings.... he’s a pimp, but he markets his prostitutes as an outlet to sexual fantasies to avoid emotional attachment that comes with sexual infidelity, so as to “save the marriage”...

Grammar question... should the headline read:

"Eliot Spitzer: Why I liked ho's"

OR

"Eliot Spitzer: Why I liked hos"

????

Technically you are correct. I don’t know if there’s a casual rule about real short words, putting in an apostrophe just for visual clarity? But you are right, apostrophes are for contractions and possessives, and hos is neither.

He forgot to mention the little detail about this being agianst the law, or that he viciously prosecuted and persecuted a bunch of hookers, with religious zeal, while he was the state Attorney General, for doing exactly the same thing he was doing at the time.
Hey Spitzer, just go away will ya?

“I know this is parsing it very thin, but the emotional component would have in some ways been a worse violation.”

What a guy! Yeah, meaningless sex with a prostitute using money-laundered campaign funds is much more ethical than an affair of the heart.

SHEESH!

(Two snaps up for the title.)

Just as Bill Clinton said fil?”*tio isn’t sex.
Visiting hookers isn’t bad either?

Well just ask your Wife what she thinks about this b.s.
OR if the rolls were reversed and it was the ladies getting
Their weenkies wanked what would the gents be saying????
I have guns around here. And the little lady knows how they work.
Without daddy’s money Spitzer would be a sign boy on a road crew.

It is twisting rationalizations such as Spitzer is making that allows receiving oral gratification to be classified as something other than sex.

Either “an affair” or “going to hookers”? Isn’t there a third choice?

hos, not ho’s.

Unless the word following ho’s is assumed to be something said ho possesses.
