Well this is certainly a gotch-ya moment. Looks a bit like pay back for all the white collars he collected as SAG. But shouldn’t we all be a little happy that the Feds stuck it to a politician who is also a lawyer? It’s a manic situation. He was both good and bad cop.

Still, you can’t transport hookers over state lines, even in Nevada, which is what they will probably charge him with . You just can’t mess with interstate commerce, that gets you into trouble with the Feds. Best to stick with the local hooker, as they say, charity begins at home

I can’t be too sad for the guy though, there are no safeties for women in other states like in Nevada so I don’t think you can say what he did wasn’t a crime.

His political career is over and my guess so is his law career too, though he has plenty of money to hire some very good attorneys to keep him out of jail. Chances are, unlike you and me and everyone else here, he’ll probably walk with a slap on the wrist, community service and maybe the short course in sex addiction.

The seedy part is he knew this was illegal and thought somehow he was immune, that’s just arrogance. I don’t know how many prostitution rings he’s busted, but this type of business is really horrible for all the women involved. Guys, like his pimp, usually tear off to Israel or Turkeye. So his $80k was really supporting some very slimy characters and he knew it.

Bush, is our fault.

BTW: Help Mike Gravel.
Shame on you You Tube!

Spitzer was supposed to be Mr. Squeaky-Clean, so this scandal has definitely tainted him to the point where, were he not to resign, he probably could not effectively govern.

I also agree with you that Bush’s actions have caused thousands of needless deaths, whereas Spitzer’s actions, to me, are mainly an issue between he and his wife.

My final vent on this issue (unless someone posts a comment I feel an overwhelming urge to respond to), is that Bush should have been impeached or brought up on charges for his abuse of the Constitution. No other president has betrayed the ideals of the Constitution more than Bush has.

The one thing Spitzer has that Bush doesn’t and that’s the courage to resign. We as Americans are just not doing our duty to make him leave, better yet, arrest him.

In a way I would have liked to see Spitzer fight it under the following conditions, “Bush lied and should be convicted for war crimes and you want me to resign for shelling out $80k of my own money on a dame?! And compared to Bush what I did was nothing. 1000s have died under Bush, my actions, maybe, at worse, got a few arms broken and I wasn’t even there!”

Other than that, he broke the laws he was entrusted to uphold, so justice must be done, the rest is up to his very expensive lawyers. Bush on the other hand should be tried for crimes against humanity, I blame Congress, they keep encouraging this behavior AND I blame us for not writing more letters and for supporting these two horrible horrible parties.

My questions is, why are we jumping all over a guy for hooking up with a hooker (not that I condone it at all), but Bush is still in office after lying to the American public about WMD, and thumbing his nose at the Constitution, among many other grave injustices he has foisted upon us during his reign. Why do we care more about what our leaders do in their bedrooms that what they do in their offices?

Of all the networks… FOX!!!… *barf* I still TiVo when he is on though. It kills my soul a little each time… but I do it for Michael.

If we’re talking gay men then he kicks William Sledds butt simply because he’s stayed doing what’s made him popular. AskAGayMan was a great concept but William barely produced anything approaching a body of work before dashing off to chase the bright lights!

So here’s to Buckley – a hero of online video!

but, if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to lose all trust, have your heart ripped out and stomped on in a very public way I think the look on his wife’s face captures that moment. Nietzsche at your bedside just doesn’t count right now.
