Spitzer Swallows
Nothing to say about Crusader of the Year, Elliot Spitzer, getting pinched for patronizing prostitutes. Just wanted to use that title.
I wonder how many folks his office prosecuted for prostitution?
Update: And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, AC has the round up, complete with dutiful wife standing beside her man.
Update 2: Insty’s readers allege a game of Name That Party. But in comments at AC’s, SoBeale says:
You know he’s a Democrat because the sex scandal is hetero, not gay.
Heh.
Except, you know, the former governor of Spitzer’s neighbor state.

Two major rings were prosecuted under his watch as AG. This is going to be fun to watch. He’s a big-time Hillary supporter. I understand the bus is coming around the block and she has him by those big ass ears readying for the throw. The guy is a creep.

And he’s a superdelegate!

Wish I’d thought of that headline.

That headline will be my “Quote of the Day” as soon as I get a chance to post it.
Good thing I didn’t have anything in my mouth when I read it, or I would have literally had a spit-take.

Oh but Dems do swing both ways, you know. Barney Frank anyone?
The big difference is that he will be forgiven and perhaps even re-elected. However if he was a Republican, it would be a different story on that … in which toe tapping in the men’s room may be worthy of the death penalty, dontcha know.

“pinched for patronizing prostitutes”
Nice use of alliteration there. +1

Great headline and alliteration! I just heard Congressman King call Eliot (client # 9) the most self-righteous person he had ever met.
Maybe I am jaded but this type of behavior from politicians no longer shocks me. What I find inexplicable is the wife is always there by the disgraced politician’s side. I would hold my own press conference announcing my intention to file for divorce.
The ho got $ 4300 for this tryst. If I was the wife I will be mad about that waste of money as well.

This is really not even sufficient enough to displace a San Francisco mayor.
You left out “pneumatic and pliable”. 🙂

Lissa, Barney Frank is out. Larry Craig is stemming the rose in airport bathrooms and denying it after getting caught. Major difference. Lately, I’ve see “Larry Craig was Here” in bathrooms all over the place. Pretty funny. Best placement was over a door lintel going in the head at the Frankfurt Airport.
Anyhow, as to the $4300, someone above said that the wife should be mad about the waste of money. IF THAT MONEY WAS HIS.
Glenn Reynolds makes a good point (his first ever as far as I can discern) that the whole matter is important because of the potential for blackmail. Yep. That’s why he should resign.

err, it’s already out.

Clinton had “Zippergate”, so does Spitzer have “Spitzippergate”?
Between Hillary’s philandering husband Bill, and her philandering superdelegate and home state governor Elliot, she’s got a whole lot of foolin’ around goin’ on around her. And then there are the rumors of Hillary sleeping with a pretty female member of her staff. Hillary may turn out to be quite a philanderer herself.

Umm, he was very pick-and-choose on his public, “try-em-in-the-press” cases. If you think this was a one off incident….
March 10th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
You know he’s a Democrat because the sex scandal is hetero, not gay.
Heh.
Except, you know, the former governor of Spitzer’s neighbor state.
I had that exact same train of thought. 🙂

Ah, I knew Spitzer’s draft resignation speech sounded familiar.

Does the fact New York Governor sees prostitutes in his spare time disturb you? What if it was kept concealed from the public? would that render him unfit to serve as Governor? I’m trying to gauge public opinion on this one. If you’re interested, please vote on my poll:

This is all part of New York’s new “pay to play” program.
Eww. Put it up.
It’s a bloody shame. He ought to resign in all due haste. When prostitution is legalized and these politicos quit prosecuting the working girls – then & only then – can a politico use the services & it be a “private matter.”

Elliot Spitzer is corrupt. This article , which has nothing to do with his penchant for high priced whores and salad tossing- is proof.

I wonder if she spitzer swallows? This little Silicone bimbo is kinda cute but not worth 4300 bucks an hour. pretty sad people have to pay that kind of coin for some used up coochie. not to mention what kind of STD`S She may have had. I sure hope Silda doesn`t end up with some mouth sores that won`t go away EWWWWWWWWW.Well Elliot i hope your proud of yourself and at the very least got to sample this little tart`s every orifice before you went down in flames.
