George Fox a.k.a. Client #9 a.k.a. Governor Eliot Spitzer (D, NY)

why are people making such a big deal out of this?  its nobody's business if the guy wants to get a hooker, aside from his and his wife's.   if he resigns that would be a very sad thing for this country.

No it wouldn't. It sounds like his replacement offers better governing skills to begin with. Spitzer had a 33% approval rating in November. It's not like this douche bag was doing a great job before this.

the Lt governor was not voted to be governor.   Spitzer was, it is his job and his responsibility.   Hookers has nothing to do with his governing skills.    Its no one's fucking business.

It's no one's business that he's paying for illegal things with his salary, which is paid for by TAXPAYERS? Alrighty then.

^ From what I heard he used government vehicles... Not paid for by him

I think the most amazing part of all this is that the Dow Jones had its biggest one day gain in 6 years the day after it comes out that the guy who, as NY Attorney General doled out the stiffest ever monetary sanctions to Wall Street financial institutions, was fucking hookers.

This guy was truly hated by the financial industry.  Here's a quote by a former board member of the New York Stock Exchange (and former target of Spitzer):  ""We all have our own private hells.  I hope his private hell is hotter than everyone else's."

^ Ya know, I never thought of it that way... Very good point

This is more related to the FED's intervention in the market than the Spitzer news. FED is lending $200 billion to banks.

Why are so many politicians scum bags?  I mean really!!  Every year we hear about 2 or 3 cases where our politicians are being sexual deviants.  Yes, cheating on your wife counts in that category.  Can anyone answer how so many scumbags end up in politics?  How do they get that far?

They get that far because they get money from prostitution. lmao. Just kidding.

Honestly, I really don't know. Some of my left-wing extremist friends think the whole political system is corrupt and I tend to agree with them now. I'm so aganist the political system that I refuse to vote.

[fuckin crazy]

Probably somewhere around 99%

How do they get that far?

Maybe, lying, cheating, manipulation, duplicity, ... ad infinitum.

I'd like to know if he got the 7 diamond rated girl.  she looks pretty hot from what you can see.

ROFL! This whole thing is just hilarious. I was listening to the radio today and they were making fun of Alan Dershowitz because he went on TV last night and said that the issue was being "blown out of proportion." The radio host, Randi Rhodes, emphasized the word "blown." Had me crackin' up. She said that any words used to describe this story will be turned into double entendres because it's just too easy.

i really feel bad for his wife. she looks like a total class act. and politics 101 demands she appear at his side during the press conference.

and his kids...this must be rough for them.

what a scumbag he is. 100% low-life piece of shit.

I saw an article where the writer said that they wish just ONCE a wife would walk out on stage with the cheating husband and just keep on walking, exit stage right. That would send a hell of a message! I also agree with you about Spitzer's wife. I feel really bad for her.

He broke the law.

Looks like the liberal media is totally ignoring this story.

He might as well have made it worth it.

Yea, that should prop up Wall Street another two days.

^ From what I heard he used government vehicles... Not paid for by him 

There was something funky going on with one of the bank accounts he had access to, hence why all this transpired.  Someone noticed and reported the suspicious activity which lead to this whole investigation.

Now, I am not sure if he used govt vehicles but what he DID do was pay to transport a prostitute over state lines from NY to DC which now made it a federal crime.  He will probably be indicted for this soon.

They are practically rioting up in Albany, he will most likely be forced to resign. 

I am sort of on the fence about this.  If he used state funds then obviously he should resign.  If he hadn't, I am not sure I would really care if he had a penchant for hookers. 

Some time ago they forced the state comptroller to resign because he was using a state vehicle to transport his wife to the doctor as she was gravely ill.  Nothing as bad as this but they forced him out so I am assuming Spitzer will be gone soon too.

nobody is perfect.  We all fuck up.  We all do stupid shit.   You can't expect even the Governor of New York to never make a mistake.

i'm personally of the belief that prostitution should be legal, so I'm not bothered by him breaking this law.

It's not even the prostitution that got him busted, that was just the icing on the cake.  They thought he was involved in a bribery scandal by the missing monies. 

[fuckin crazy]

I'm beginning to think it was a political hit job. I want to know who, at the bank, or the where ever, initiated the investigation.

  ... what he DID do was pay to transport a prostitute over state lines from NY to DC which now made it a federal crime.  He will probably be indicted for this soon.

The part of the law to which you refer(can't recall the name), was written to provide a tool for prosecutors to go after pimps, not johns.

If there was a felony violation, it is was because he attempted to hide the financial transactions to pay for the prostitute by breaking it up into amounts less 10k, ie. multiple withdraws <10k in one transaction in an effort keep the bank from reporting it to the Feds

[GNRfan2008]

How can it be a political hit job when the guy has admitted he fucked up? LOL. This isn't John McCain outright denying the allegations where the allegations WERE a political hit job. Spitzer apologized to his family and the public, which means he admitted his guilt.
