And although I haven't verified this yet, the NY Post seemed to imply in its story today (which may be true or not), that the investigation of these odd transfers is what caused the Feds to uncover the hooker ring to begin with.  If true, that means Spitzer brought this all on himself.

I think the last statement is very true.

I really wouldn't care that much about about if Spitzer uses prostitutes, if he hadn't been hypocritical about it (think Vitter).  You also have violations of federal law; that takes it up a level.

How was Vitter NOT a hypocrite?

I also don't care if he violated the law, federal or not, lots of laws are stupid and I don't hold anyone in lesser regard for not following them. My brother violates federal law almost every day and is arguably engaging in money laundering too.

Negative, but not just because of recent happenings. He has been a total bust as governor and very embarrassing to the party. I hope we can dump him in the primary next time around.

Yeah, that and can we have his name, address, phone number, date of birth and Social Security number? We're signing him up for a free weekend of all you can drink beer and strippers.

I don't think that's going to be too much of an issue at this point.

I have no idea what happened. It hasn't exactly made the radio news in Hesse. If all he did was sleep with prostitutes from time to time, then I can't agree that that is any of the public's business, and he's being as innocently victimised as Larry Craig.

He broke up several prostitution rings when he was AG and let everyone know how outraged he was at their very presence.

That makes him an HP ... independently of his private sex life. Smiley

However, the poll was created so you can't change your vote. Sad

It was positive before the revelations, but is now very negative. It's not his personal life - he had been involved in the breaking of other prostitution rings.

It's possibly getting even worse - the NY Post is reporting that he's used hookers for the past 6 years and possibly for over a decade, using them at the same time he was shutting down the prostitution rings.

Of course, it's the NY Post - caveat emptor.

Of course he's right. If this guy somehow survives this (which he has next to zero chance of doing), he would not seek re-election and if he was crazy enough to do so, he'd get squashed. Schumer would finally get his chance.

I don't give a damn about his personal life.

Ok, how about giving a damn about one of the biggest hypocrites in politics?

Nope. He has/had a great agenda.

Agenda - Cracking down on prostitution rings...and then having sex with prostitutes.

I know that.

But the rest of his agenda was great.

While he's been governor.  Seriously, you must be kidding me.

I'll remind myself to tell a couple of friends of mine down at the US Attorney's office.  Thanks!
