”I got love for the hooker”
Years ago I read a great book called Blood On The Street: A Sensational Inside Story of How Wall Street Analysts Duped a Generation of Investors. It was fascinating and showed how corrupt insiders in Wall Street made millions while the average person, like me and everyone I know, had to make money the hard way. I could not put the book down and one of the things I found interesting is how Eliot Spitzer was a gun slinging sheriff in the badlands of Wall Street, cleaning things up, going after security analysts who pumped up worthless stocks so their investment banking arms would get the business. I personally might have thought he went overboard on some of the people he went after, like Hank Greenberg and Dick Grasso, and I think he might be exaggerating how evil corporate America is because its been proven that lower taxes on corporations will result in more jobs and a stronger economy and maybe LESS government oversight would…sorry, I digress, this is not the time for my usual rants.
So this week we found out that Spitzer was paying prostitutes for sex. The SHAME.
”…and I promise not to use state funds for prostitutes”
Oh boy Eliot, you got yourself into a deep pile of crap. After all you railed against and all your pontificating, you are nothing but a cheating, self serving hypocrite. You are a jerk who did not let anyone off easy and now you are another wife-cheating power hungry liar. I feel bad for your wife and three teenage daughters, but not you. You made no friends and there are a LOT of people who could not be happier. You went after anyone and everyone using your power and fear to get people to do what you wanted and were nothing but a freakin fraud. FRAUD Eliot, LIAR. If I tell my kids EVERY DAY to say please and thank you, you bet your sweet ASS I am going to say please and thank you. But you were above it all and your promising political career is done. Well, actually, it probably isn’t and I have a feeling we will see you sometime in the future running for senate after you enter some kind of rehab program and blame your problems on the pressure or society or some lame excuse that directs the fault to anyone but you. Ugh. So for some reason you can prosecute and persecute and discriminate and intimidate but you don’t have to abide by the LAWS THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO UPHOLD. jerk.
”I just came from the Mayflower”
The thing that I don’t get is WHY would he do something so stupid. His entire career and political platform is on a morality play. He cleaned up Wall Street, prosecuted the mob, shut down prostitution rings. Now he is nothing but a cheap stuffed shirt who used hookers himself. WHY the (expletive deleted) would he in a thousand years risk his life’s work on it? I just don’t get it. Put aside the fact that prostitution is illegal – its PAYING someone for sex. Do what Bill Clinton did and play doctor with some internal or ANY OTHER willing canoodling partner. It is one of the most hypocritical things I could think of, short of him getting caught for insider trading. In fact, that would be pretty funny, too bad it didn’t happen.
If someone wants to cheat on their spouse, so be it. If someone wants to use a prostitute, so be it. But don’t go after wrong-doers with your badge while breaking the same laws you were elected to uphold. I hope Spitzer resigns and not because I don’t agree with him politically, this is NOT a partisan issue, it’s a morality issue, it’s an honesty issue and it’s about doing what you say, not what you do.
”I like prostitutes THAT much”

great letterman list...i think the luv gov spent 40 to 80k simply cuz he's a sex junkie... ...but the real reason i write is this: i happened upon a Spitzer commericial from his run for govenor...and holy cow , this was one of his tag lines, " Bring Passion Back to Washington"
. my guess is the freak tries to stay in office and fight the charges . i think he prizes himself on beating people down, and after revealing his illicit affairs figures he has already suffered the worst and can only rise up. (passion indeed.)
