Kilted Brewer said:No, it's not. It's like "the_bird" said, he's a hyprocrite. The almighty sent to clean up the world. Too bad he's too full of himself to not think he might actually get caught doing something wrong.
skinfiddler said:Note "sarcasm" switch
but soliciting and engaging in prostitution is the legal dilemma...
Soulive said:Guys, lets not overlook the fact that what he did was ILLEGAL. Sure we can't castrate the guy for it, but he did break the law. Cheating on his wife is the moral dilemma, but soliciting and engaging in prostitution is the legal dilemma...
Spitzer spearheaded, among other things, operations to shut down several prostitution rings when he was AG

Evan! said:This isn't about whether what he did is technically against the stupid laws---it's about his hypocrisy/double standard.

So let me get this straight, Pete.PeteOz77 said:The replacement, is a blind black man. I don't know this guy's credentials, but a crime fighting, outstanding former AG seems the better choice, even if he DOES have to pay for sex with the sort of women he desires.
Balancing out the pros and cons of the entire situation, it seems too bad that someone doing as good of a job as he seemed to be, is cast aside in favour of another, less appropriate candidate.

You don't know anything about Spitzer's replacement except that he is blind and black yet you assume that the replacement is 'less appropriate' for the job than Spitzer.
Let's be honest here: you have no freaking idea whether the new guys is better worse or the same than the lying, duplicitious guy that just got run out of office.
As far as I am concerned, netiher being blind or being black makes you a bad candidate for the job. Being a hypocrite and participating in the very crimes you claimed to be fighting as you climbed into the job does make you a bad candidate.
Yep. That's why so many were calling for his head. Good riddance and DLTDHYITAOTWO.kornkob said:Being a hypocrite and participating in the very crimes you claimed to be fighting as you climbed into the job does make you a bad candidate.

DUH!!!!! I say it's money well spent.

Look for the Spitzman to be indicted soon. Possible charges are...
* Money laundering for trying to conceal the source and recipient of financial transactions.
* Tax evasion, if he was a knowing party to an all-cash business that wasn't filing taxes.
* Violation of the Mann Act for paying for the trip from New York to D.C. by the call girl known as "Kristen."
* Misuse of state resources, if he used his state-issued credit card for hotels or meals with prostitutes as well as if he was being protected by State Troopers during his dalliances.
* And finally, soliciting prostitution.
I just wonder who will buy the governorship next? Corzine bought the NJ and Bloomberg bought NYC. Afterall, it's only money.
Can you imagine the brewing equipment you could have for a fraction of what these guys spent of their own money to buy their position of power?
EdWort said:Actually, if he wasn't such a hypocrite, most folks would go BFD and move on, but the a-hole is one of those "Do as I say, not as I do" pr1cks.
As far as money well spent, would you still say that if you were a NY tax payer and it turns out he spending your confiscated hard earned money on high priced nookie?
He's nothing to be proud of and everything he's done just proves his idiocy.
