WOW. He could be toast.

Good find Hal.

 

[Dtrigg]

Wow. He was indicted. What a shame for his family. He is married with three children. How dumb was he to do something like that?

 

[robr]

HOLY $H1T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Just... wow.

 

[steveny]

Do as I say and not as I do. The only question I have is, where are the pictures of the girl? One of my girls would have been a lot cheaper then 4300 bucks. Typical political BS IMO.

 

[NSXFRIEND]

He wanted his privacy thats why he paid:biggrin:

 

[heySkippy]

I don't see any way he keeps his job. He's toast.

Who gives a f-ck?

What he does on his own time isn't our business, is it? Before this happened, did you judge his as effective? Was he a good leader? Would you torque a hottie if she was willing?

His only mistake was paying for it - which is illegal - why not just pick up a chick?

If he was a rock star, and you heard he'd screwed half of LA, and was opining on the world, as long as you agreed with his opinions you'd be on his side, and be jealous of his pipe-laying prowess - wouldn't you?

Do you know anything about this guy? He made his reputation prosecuting the very thing he's now admitted to. That's why I give a f-ck. I hope he rots.

any chance you knew that during his prosecuting years & as his run for governor, he's positioned himself as a "law & order" guy.

that said, his party's probably over for awhile... perhaps as governor, too.

Yeah, I did - but I don't think that two consenting adults who exchange money for sex is really a crime - perhaps its just a little too much government in our sex lives!:wink:

BTW - I've never paid a hooker, but I've paid dearly for sex:wink:

..but he does. IMO it's no different than a cop giving a speeding ticket then driving off at 90 MPH after he clocks out of work. Hypocrites!

Cops do that all the time, I know so many guys who were pulled over and told by the cop "I had to drive 150 to catch up to you!!!" How is that safe?

The issue is that we make stupid things illegal - like gay marriage, carrying a small amount of weed, or speeding vs. dangerous driving. At the same time we ignore "white collar" crime like selling mortgages that anyone with half a brain would know don't pass reasonable underwriting criteria, and gun crimes.

Oh well, when I'm king it'll be free sex and drugs and no driving slow in the passing lane!:biggrin:

 

[steveny]

no driving slow in the passing lane!:biggrin:

what would be the penalty for doing so?

 

[Red]

what would be the penalty for doing so?

for driving slow in the passing lane and not changing lanes when flashed, it would be 10 years in prison without the possibility of parole - if you do get passed and then flash the guy who flashed you - its the death penalty!:smile:

You got my vote!!!!:biggrin: Add in rocket launchers for the stubborn people who won't pull over after 2 minutes and I will run as your VP.

It matters because of this:

As attorney general, Mr. Spitzer’s signature issue was pursuing Wall Street misdeeds But he also prosecuted at least two prostitution rings as head of the state’s organized crime task force.

In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.

“This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multitiered management structure,” Mr. Spitzer said at the time. “It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring.”

I personally dont care that he got himself a prostitute. What ever foolish thing he wants to do is his business. However, as a leader, his hypocrisy is unforgiveable. I'd hate to be him right now.

 

[Tony Montoya]

I don't think he did anything wrong, just illegal. I think his enemies set him up. He's toast.


Edit: Wallstreet misdeeds are way worse than any hanky panky. Wallstreet is going to bring down the USA. The inflation we have now will turn into a depression when all that credit goes poof.

 

[NSX GT]

I like the part where a reporter asked Senator Clinton about this situation and she responded, "No Comment". Why don't they ask Bill?

I guess this Governor thought he was above the law?

Haven't all you Americans figured it out?

When a politician or a "Church Leader" comes out strongly against some vice or another its because HE SUFFERS FROM IT.

In psychology, its called OVERCOMPENSATION

In politics, its called, "Standard Practice"

Look at all the "moral" people:

Church leaders who sleep with vulnerable boys (homo) or Girls (Pedophile)
Church Leaders who sleep with hookers, and do drugs
Church Leaders who have affairs and children out of wedlock
Church Leaders who turn out to be gay (these are the best, since they tend to be the most Anti-gay until they're caught)

Politicians who: Are Gay, Use Prostitutes, Exploit Influence for their own profit, have sex outside of marriage, drive off bridges and kill women, take money from lobbyists and vote on their issues - etc, etc, etc.

Why America insists on holding these people to higher standards confuses me - clearly the leaders of the "Morality" crowd aren't moral themselves, but they insist you should be and they insist on legislation that makes the very immorality they practice illegal.

Don't get me wrong, sex with children is inexcusable, but saying that Homosexuality is a sin and that they should be reviled, and then turning out to be a fag yourself? How can the "sheepies" still believe the message when they find out it was delivered by a hypocrite?

I think logical people would question the message and understand that its self hate thats fueling it - Spitzer is a man, his issue with the prostitution ring - they were charging him too much - $4300 for sex, F-CK! Thats almost as much as my wife charges me!:biggrin:

 

[MAJOR STONER]

How does one engage in illegal activity while surrounded by a team of state trooper bodyguards 24/7? Why did he not get caught until he did it outside of his home state?

 

[NSXFRIEND]

Pimping ain't easy...

Ah he was hoe balling hahahha

I believe in Vegas or Vancouver BC paying for female companions is legal, if he was there he could argue well..not in the province/state I was at. :biggrin: Oh wait you can get lap dance and watch girls naked but that is not prostitution.lol

He is a powerful man he is going to get this expunged :tongue:

 

[DocL]

It's always cheaper to rent than own, and he didn't pay her for sex. He paid her to leave! Which anyone who's been divorced has done the same thing only through the court system.
