What is your take on soon-to-be former Governor Spitzer’s prostitution ring scandal situation?
Its a sad downfall for a man who’s worked so hard to get where he is. It must also be brutally difficult and humiliating for his wife and kids too. It’ll be hard for them to show their faces in public for a long time.
But, what’s your view?

Spitzer was about the bust the scam going on in Wall Street and the White House. He would have prevented the Stock Market Crash and the fall of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac but the White House and Media went full steam ahead to stop him. The American people brought the lies hook line and sinker and millions of Americans lost their homes, jobs and life savings. Spitzer is a brillant lawyer who figured out the scam but was pushed like Bill Clinton on personal matter. I have so much respect for Mr. Spitzer as he did the peoples work but got kicked out because the crooks were running the country. President Obama would be wise to use Spitzer on his team to clean up the corruption from the Govenment. We have many lawyers but few as brillant as Spitzer. Americans should remember no one is perfect and their personal lives aren’t part of their jobs. We watched the Media give Mark Foley a pass as he was selecting kids to molest, Larry Craig looking for sex in the men’s room and David Vitters who still hires prosituties while holding office. Spitzer sex life didn’t effect the job he was doing and who he has sex with is not our concern but his wifes. But we see how well the Media worked with the Bush Propaganda Dept and now we’ve paying for it.
Spitzer, Pat Fitzgerald and Randall Samborn should be appointed to top jobs in the Obama/Biden Administration for fast recovery to bring back Lady Justice for us all.
Sure. You can’t keep a good man down.
Take Clinton for example and the Monica scandal…how many times did he say “I did not have sex with….” and later admitted to the whole thing.
He was forgiven eventually by the American people and is still fondly referred to in his contributions while in power.
Maybe, it’s because Bush’s incompetence has highlighted what the US did have in a leader or maybe it’s because Clinton is so charismatic.
If Spitzer is the man you think he is then Obama is gonna need all the help he can muster to pull the US back from the current economic climate.
What is really sad is that Spitzer was not caught because he did anything criminal, but because he made a legal withdrawal of funds from his personal account.
Just remember, when the government says “we need this authority for your protection” against corruption (bribery), drugs, terrorism, Hitler-of-the-Day, etc.–that it will become another tool of politicians to most likely use however they want.
What a load of CRAP !
With the police busting crack whores, and their johns. All the BS spouted by police that prostitution leads to illegal drugs and the the mafia/ terrorists/ etc.
Even if the money was his own– why isnt he treated like any other citizen that gets caught with a hooker ?
He should be labelled a “Sex Offender” and subject to all the laws and restrictions any other SO is subject to.
Maybe this can send a signal to other politicians to legalize prostitution, then what they did wouldnt be a scandal.
