Spitzer is linked to prostitution ring

sorry--have to do this--do you think he 'spitzers" or swallows?

Woahhhhhh! I'm shocked. Mr. Ethics caught up in this kind of scandal? Well, interested to hear what he has to say...

Wow--I covered Spitzer when he came into office in Albany. He promised hope, reform, a corruption-free New York...how quickly things fall apart.

Yeah man. I had big respect for this guy, particularly his efforts chasing after radio payola. Bad news.

Hysterical!!! Utterly ironic and absolutely hysterical.

I live in NY and I've never liked this guy

I am impressed that we heard it first form him and not from someone else.

OMG!!! i used to be a broker, and all I heard was how much of a jack-off this guy was!! its too funny, but seriously tho'....are you really surprised?

all these people are doin dirt. i know if i was the govenor of some state, especially New York, hell yea I'd be hittin all kinds of ass too!! and if i were president? no chicks would be off limits, ot its the GULASH!!!!

ohh man, this is too funny...when the high and mighty fall.....But to be honest...I bet the chicks he was with were HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no surprise here...

he's supporting hillary... even less of a surprise....

(lol, biased, I know... let me have some fun)

not that there is anything that wrong with prostitution, but there is something very wrong with this man.... i mean... goodlookin, a governor, hmmm.... does he seriously have to pay for the ladies to have sex with him?!

oh i'm sure some chicks would be off limits to you, buddy. ya know, like the non-trafficked kind. seriously, that was a dumb comment you left okinawan.

thanks douche!...my point is that id be hitting ass on the regular..i didnt say prostitutes....just hitting ass! and there was nothing dumb about what i put. silly maybe!

people of power, ALMOST ALWAYS get it on the side, but try to be slick about it....ID MAKE IT KNOWN..PUT ME IN POWER, AND I ASSURE YOU, IM GONNA GET SOME ON THE SIDE, THE FRONT, THE TOP, THE BOTTOM, BEHIND! im getting it everywhere!...why? because i can!

i wonder if the media will try to Rezko this against hillary? her supporters cheat on their wives, her husband cheated on here...she needs better male role models and aqaintances!!!

you know the bad part about this, as im watching all this.....HE NEVER GOT TO HIT! its like attempted murder, or conspiracy to commit murder...didnt even get to get him some....he got caught before it happened on wire tap! so he loses everything and didnt even get wet!!

thats the unfortunate part!!

yes, that's truly the unfortunate part. never mind the 3 children waiting for sleazy daddy to come home.

yea well lets see, mom isnt going anywhere because he is worth 500million dollars ( i said that with my pinky by my lip!) and the kids will what? get over it very soon. you act as if this is the first time he did this, hell yoou act as if his wife hasnt cheated on him, hell you act as if you havent cheated on anyone!! So before you get a nose bleed or altitude sickness, come down!

55% of people cheat on their wives. your parents cheated on each other...or one of them did! the unfortunate part is that you wont admit that!

Oh Boy, finally someone for the Democrats sex scandals site. I was worried there was something wrong with our guys. Good going Spitzer and you are helping the sagging economy too.

Oh gee, a Democrat caught in a sex scandal, not interesting. Republicans in a sex scandal is a good story, but come on...Democrats like Sex.

democrats like sex...but republicans like kinky sex!! with donkeys and squirls and wildabeasts and stuff!

democrats do lame missionary sex...where republicans like whips and chains and bite marks!!!

ROLE PLAY......OLE'!!!

Man this situation is sad, I cannot begin to image how his wife and three daughters feel. Why can't people think of the consequences first before doing irresponsible things.

bro im sure he did....im sure he thought,,,"I have this $5500 burning a hole in my pocket ...and this chick is HOT!!!!!"

seriously dude...if eva mendez said..ill give you exactly 3 seconds to decide to ____ me! your wife and kids are in the car down stairs in the parking garage...all you have to do is call your wife on her cell phone and tell her it will be just a few more minutes and park the car....ohh and by the way, its raining really hard.....and because of the rain, it will buy you maybe 10 good minutes of bladanging....you gona tell me that you are going to pass that up?! i mean, i respect marriage and all, but really?!!

what would you do?........WHAAAT..WOUUULLD YOOOUU DOOOOO!!!!

damn, sexually frustrated frat boy all out of control...

Remember right winger Neal Horsley? "When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule." I'm proud our guys stick to humans.

I don't care that he had commercial sex. I think it is disgusting when these lame asses get caught and they have their wives stand with them while they make their admission or excuse. My husband wouldn't be able to stand there, and I would be miles away.

Just illustrates that you can't always trust politicians who promise change.

Ethics!?? This is far worse than Big Bill's, Monica harmonica. This time, the terrorist wears a suit of immorality.

Why would anyone care who he sleeps with other than his wife? Sex is about the only time morality comes up. There is a lot worse immorality out there.

True dat. It's what makes our country great! :-)

smorrissey,

Brilliant analysis! Wow, guilt by association! One word: Rezco. Only a fool would think a politician backed by the Chicago machine would even be *remotely* clean. You think because the corporate media only presents a positive image of Obama that it's true? Please. Just as we see with Spitzer: if it's too good to be true it is.

Lastly, all the dozens of millions of dollars spent on hunting down the Clintons resulted in *nothing*. Unless you want to count the impeachment or Bill temporarily losing his license as some sort of act of "justice."

The question was raised about why he would go to a prostitute when he could've had any number of women.
My guess is that he was paying for secrecy and got busted anyway.

It's a bunch of lies. Someone has falsely perpetrated this scandal to discredit or stifle Elliot Spitzers efforts and they've coaxed or rather intimidated him into confessing, I find it uncanny that he is neither denying or admitting to the allegations, he's just kind of alluding to his involvement,

God! If I have to deal with one more self-righteous, pompous, judgmental, arrogant, hypocrite government official, I'm gonna shoot myself!! Wait a minute...I take that back.

i bet she was illegal, and she needed air fare and train fare because she couldnt get a driving license!! so in a way, he was not only pushing money into the economy, ( her nickname was also economy, and his buddies call him money!!!) but pushing money "into" the economy!

and everyone loves money!!

(comcast commercial!)

i dont know about you, but since prostitution will never go away ever, i wanna break into this career field! you know what they say...pimpin aint easy!

hmmmm.....

My comment; here is where this gets messy in politics, our "leaders" get hooked on, dipping in the honey pot, then get blackmailed (or whatever you want to call it) then they sell out their original good intentions, for whatever special interest they are forced to support.
They now are caught in the web.....

Somehow, I feel this guy got sold down the river, why, who and what for I don't know. I think it may be something fishy going on here.

Or maybe I just read too many mysteries......;)

I think this is one thing that comes from having our phones tapped and our email read, It also helps to have the FBI and the Justice Department politicized. Not excusing his behavior it looks political. How come Vitter is still running amok? Is it because he used bargain whores?

yeah, I am not excusing this guy either, but this is what is called dirty politics in the worst way. These guys have been doing things like this forever.....good gosh who else supports high dollar call business? certainly not joe blow on the street.

So every so often someone gets "reminded" of what happens if they get too "out there". Whatever "out there" du jour is. I believe that is what is wrong in our country. Like I said earlier, the powers that be....they control all of this stuff.

every once in while someone has to fall. and believe me, plenty others not sleeping well tonight.

Maybe the Big business and hedge fund Gods got sick of him watching their every move.

Who am i kidding? What politician nowadays actually does good for the majority and not the rich manority?

Im fucking kidding myself.

Too bad he got caught. Coulda got away with it too if it wern't for those pesky FBI wire taps that happen to be not looking for anything to do with Eliot Spitzer....bullshit if you ask me. Someone had it in for that guy.

Queenofit-
This is espionage 101 babe, a classic build em' up and tear em' down strategy.
Don't dismiss your thoughts regarding this case as fiction in comparison to novels, this is reality, and the reality is exactly what you described. Spitzer was coaxed, mislead. He was lured, hooked and cast right back out again. This resembles the same tactics that were used in the early colonial era, men of integrity government officials that threatened the establishment were bribed with money and specifically prostitutes, they were then exposed by the same people who bribed them and further more discrediting their integrity.

This may also be some kind of public diversion. They get us every time.,,,

"Diversion" in all caps I would say Mobius2012. I agree!

To add to that I must admit that your take on this is so right on. I feel that most folks get caught up in the "morality" issue and miss the entire bigger picture.

This is how our country is so messed up, this type of cancer in our system. I cannot help keep thinking of the brains of JFK splattered all on the street of Dallas. That of course was much bigger news, but the objective is the same, if you don't fall in line, we have offers you cannot refuse.

Yet this quote I pasted below prevails .........

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)

Stay Strong....
