NY Governor Linked to Prostitution Ring

Spitzer: I've Been Screwed

NY Guv Answers Prostie Charges

Embattled New York Governor Eliot Spitzer held a hastily scheduled press conference to answer charges that he patronized a prostitution ring, telling reporters, "I've been screwed."

While Mr. Spitzer refused to elaborate on his comment, he added for emphasis, "I've been screwed and it's cost me a lot."

Aides to the New York governor applauded him for responding quickly to the charges but across the state political observers wondered if he had raised more questions than he had answered.

Mr. Spitzer, who has endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), did receive a vote of support from her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who offered to "take over his position" if the governor is forced to step down.

"I am happy to perform all of the roles that Eliot has been performing," Mr. Clinton said, adding that he had the experience to make crucial phone calls at 3 A.M.

Sounds like an article from The Onion™. :1orglaugh
 
Heh, I love The Onion.

Two things I would say is one notice who the newspaper is that is reporting the story,the "New York Times" which is routinely criticized as being biased.This story goes against that arguement.
2nd is I am not so sure this is such a bad thing that he should have to resign over it.There is a republican senator from LA(Vitter) who had similar story come out and he didn't resign.But thats Spitzers call I guess.Its interesting though the family values party(pubs) and Vitter was a spokeman for that stuff don't resign but the Liberal dem gov of NY apparently will.
Wouldn't it be nice if we just dropped all this moral judgements about people's sexual activities and then maybe so many wouldn't be in trouble or total hypocrites.As long as its conscentual adults I think we do not need to be so concerned.But thats just my opinion,I care more about other things politicans do then who they have sex with.


This is a bigger issue than just sex since prostitution is clearly illegal. Vitter should be forced to resign just as Spitzer was.

As far as the Times though, all this story shows is that they are first concerned with showing important news stories then with their bias. It does not show, however, that when possible, they adopt a huge leftist bias. Additionally, the news media has been largely showing their bias with this story. Instead of calling Spitzer a hypocrite for hiring a prostitute while he was so anti-corruption and a prosecutor as the media would point out about a conservative, they instead only discussed what a "tragedy" it is. I agree its a tragedy for his family but that shithead brought it on himself
 
1. Eliot Spitzer is so stupid to use his own account in NY to transfer large sum to HSBC account in NY. A total of $80,000.00. This large sum will sure alert the bank to call the IRS Criminal Investigation Team and then called the FBI and then get the NY Attorney General to OK wiretapping.

2. Spitzer even used his cellphone to make the call. Although Spitzer thought he can use a donor's name to check into Mayflower Hotel, the FBI was already there to wiretap everything.

3. My personal experience is in some case, the FBI actually set up the sting operation to trap high profile politicans (as in Washington D.C. mayor Berry smoking pot !)

4. Why did Spitzer used a prostitute all the way from NY City when he was in Washington D.C. ? WHY? I don't understand why Spitzer is so stupid.

5. A prostitute is a prostitute and there were thousands of them in Washington area charging $300.00-$400.00 an hour instead of thousands dollars. Spitzer paid well over $4,300.00 as reported (or higher)

6. Most call girls do accept credit cards but preferred cash in Washington D.C. and many are much more beautiful than "Kristen" the 22 year-old Emporer Club VIP call girl.

7. Spitzer is stupid because he should use his real name to check in Mayflower Hotel and then used the fire escape route to go several floor up and check in another room under his donor friend's name and paid cash. Also keep the "girl" happy by tipping extra $200-$300-$500.00 at the end. So everyone is happy.

8. He can afford to call different escort services and picked who he liked or tried several different ones. Always pay with cash and never register the room under your name. Never use credit card but cash only !

By all means, no girl is worth over $1,000.00-$1,200.00 (including tip) per hour. Spitzer is a sucker and was reported "hooking" when he was the NY Attorney General calling hookers from his Mahatten Attorney Office !
 
They always stand by their husbands in the beginning. Who knows why. It's pretty hypocritical that he spent most of his time in office touting how many high-end prostitution rings that he helped to bust. *sigh* I hate politicians.

I bet she will castrate him later this week. :)
