Gov. Spitzer Linked to Prostitution Ring

What you don't understand is no matter what your personal views of weather this should be illegal it is illegal in todays world. What he has done is compromised his job and left himself open to black male because of what he did. What if those ladies came back and said we want you to do XYZ or we will go to the press and expose you. Then we now have a person compromising his position and trust of the American people because of what he did. Maybe when he was a prosecuter the only reason he was tough on prostitution was to run the other postitution rings out of business making the one he used more profitable and in return they would make sure his name was protected. Remember the only way he was caught was because of what he was doing with his checking accounts. If he was just some Joe off the street then he would not be in this postion to start with.
which black male? Denzel, or Samuel L? :)

LOL. Good catch.

Not knowing your homonyms hurts

So you're admitting we shouldn't expect much morality from Democrats, so when they do things like this, we should chalk it up to expected behavior? :D

I guess that's how Clinton survived all of his lies, crimes and infidelities and is even getting a second chance through his wife...he already had a track record of it when we elected him the FIRST time, so we just said "that's Bill being Bill."


But again sex is not illegal. Clinton's blow job may have offended you, but the majority of this country saw it as nothing more than a political based attack.(thus his 90% plus approval rating)

And you can try to twist my words on what I said about morality, but I stand by the fact that the GOP plays the morality card to appeal to the Christan conservatives, but usually these "morals" are more about fear and hate. Bush basically won in 2004 on the "issue" of gay marriage.

If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. Man there a lot of ifs and maybes in there.

Had Spitzer misused his powers or committed a major crime in connection to this, than he should receive punishment. I already said that if he committed a real crime he should receive the max sentence. But not the least bit of what you said has come out.

I would imagine that there are far more of these high services than people think. In my work I have seen more than my share of these girls and their high end clients. The chance of him getting blackmailed is probably less likely than if he was just cheating on his wife. These professionals know where their money comes from and that secrecy is in their best interest.

Sorry, I missed the memo - when exactly is a crime not a crime? When am I allowed to say - "Sorry officer, I know the law says it's a crime, but, hey, we both know it's not a REAL crime." ? I can't wait to use that on my next parking ticket.

While enforcement of crimes is sometimes (and, admittedly, more often then is acceptable) uneven, a crime is a crime is a crime. Further, it is the chief executive (whether mayor, governor or president) who is charged with enforcing the penalties for those crimes. To assert that such an individual should not be held accountable for violating the laws he/she is charged with enforcing undermines the rule of law.

In this particular case, the chief executive conspired to avoid detection both by use of the banking system and by avoiding the security officers provided to the chief executive (and who's duty is both to the individual who occupies that office and, on behalf of the state's citizens, to the office itself). The purpose of his avoiding detection was participate in an illegal business operation that, in of itself, was a conspiracy to break the very laws Spitzer was charged with enforcing.

Add to this, the hypocrisy element and Spitzer is simply getting his justifiable due.

Sucks when the karma train rams you in the ass.

Ok, if a crime is a crime is a crime, and everyone should be prosecuted evenly, then they also must be punished evenly as well. If you or I were busted "paying for it" we'd get whatever level of crime this is (misdemeanor?) and pay the fine for a first offense. No one would be calling for our job... I'm not saying he shouldn't be held accountable for his actions, but I think him losing his job is a bit much. That said, how was his performance on the job?

It's just like your mama told you...........to much of a good thing...............will get your ass kicked out of office!

The time is right D.
She is probably looking to punish him, and you might be in the right spot??
