Another political fall from grace.


I swear the hits just keep coming here in A-merry-ca. I mean honestly, you just can't make this stuff up.

So here we have the law and order governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, charged with soliciting high end prostitutes, violating the Mann Act, and lord knows what else. This guy ran on a platform to clean up government; was the former State Attorney General, and he went after the boys on Wall Street like a pit bull. (Do you think they are lighting up those Cubans right about now?) Not to mention that back in 2004 he was part of an operation that led to the arrest of 18 people for; you guessed it, prostitution. So the guy should have known better. Look, I kill rethuglicans when they do dumb shit like this, so please believe that I am going to get on the dumbocrats when they fuck up as well. There is enough outrage to go around for everybody.

Watching that news conference with Spitzer and his wife up there today, you had to wonder what that poor woman was thinking. I must admit that it was hard to watch. I kept thinking to myself: what kind of woman stands by her man like that? Honest to god if that was yours truly up there I would have been in a wheel chair, and Mrs Field would have been in prison stripes. Stand by your man my ass. But you know what? I couldn't blame her one little bit.


Eliot (Or should I call you client #9 or George Fox [that was his alias] ) WTF? You were dropping $4,000 an hour for a prostitute? What the hell do these women look like, and just what is their p.....ahhhh never mind. So one of them was 5"5" 105 pounds. Just a little small for the field, but OK, I suppose she might be attractive if you are into that weight class. But $4,000 an hour Eliot? What ever happened to controlling spending in government? And this Emperor Club V.I.P. supposedly had different categories of women. You could have gotten one of these...ahem, call girls for as low as $1,000 an hour and if you were a big spender like my man Eliot, as high as $5,000 an hour. ~~But will she respect you in the morning?~~

So anyway, my man Eliot had already dropped $4,300 and had a running account with the Emperor folks. Seems Uncle Sam was looking at these people for other things such as money laundering (They made 1 million in four years), and they caught my man Eliot on various wire taps with his favorite call girl.

"I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas, the public good, and doing what is best for the state of New York. But I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family."


Yeah, OK Eliot, but where have we heard that before?

As a New Yorker, I gotta say I literally fell out of my chair when I read this news. That's amazing that a dude who fought against these rings would be involved in one. Then again, it might simply be a case of knocking out the competition. Nonetheless, it's weird to see this because he had a reputation for being the one dude that would clean up the government, but unfortunately, he seems to have put a taint on it instead.

I think this guy suffers from the same snydrome that Bill C has... they start believing their own press about their "greatness" and then their egos lift them to the rarified air of privelege that says they are bulletproof...
As for the wife... I am sick and tired of seein these women do the "stand by your man" shit.... it is what they are told they HAVE to do by the same politicos that helped these men get there in the first place...
I wish, just once, the wife said hell no! to standing there and left these idiots standing there alone.

Eliot should have talked to Bill before spending all that damn money. Old Bill would have told him to find a fat white girl and take the booty...that's what he did as governor of Arkansas.

Isn't it ironic that a former POTUS can get away with rape while everyone else gets crucified. Because of Bill any form of sexual misconduct, any infraction regardless of whether its consensual is now political suicide.

So I guess all those politicians should thank Bill for setting the bar so high. Thank's to him a class B misdemeanor is now a felony.

Field,
Ms. Spitzer looked completely done. I almost cried. Damn!

Sex scandals--- matter of time children, matter of time. Sadly.

-And what the hell is going on in NY today anyway with governors being caught up in interstate sex (did he have to buy it?) and ex- Democratic female VP nominees going totally racist (Geraldine Ferrara has lost her mind.)

May we always live in interesting times . . .

Anonymous said...

My theory: these wives stay there because by this point they're not surprised. They decided, for their reasons, to stay *long ago* when someone else would have left.

My question is, why is it that these politicians hire all these prostitutes? Do all men do it and I just don't know about it? Down here there's a whole lotta cheating going on, and I'm pretty sure (well, wouldn't be surprised if) they send prostitutes out to the oil rigs and so on, but hiring prostitutes right in town, what's the deal with that anyway?

Christopher said...

The Borg Queen and Client #9 are very close.

In fact, Client #9 is a Hillaryite and a Superdelegate. Hmmmm?

So, I guess no one would be surprised that the Borg Queen had "no comment" when a reporter asked her about the fracas threatening to take down New York government.

Also, when Spitzer goes and he'll be gone before the end of the week, Lt. Gov. Patterson will become NY governor and the Borg Queen will lose a pledged superdelegate.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

If I were Obama I'd be talking about family values and morality out the ying yang, along with how important Michell is in his life.

Something like; " Under no circumstance would I abuse my families trust"

He should put this aldultry incident of Spitzer front and center of his campaign, and remind voters about Bill Clintons character flaws.

The Christian Progressive Liberal said...

I want the men to answer this question.

WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU RISK EVERYTHING YOU HAVE FOR A MOMENT'S WORTH OF POON TANG?

Yeah, I said it, and yeah, I'm asking the question.

Eliot Spitzer was a squeaky clean at they come. Only Eliot Ness himself and Melvin Purvis, were cleaner in law enforcement.

I desperately need to understand this concept. And at those prices, that money was the equvalent of a down payment on a Beemer (and a used Beemer at that).

Field? Christoper Chambers? Mack? Christopher? Someone explain....

And Field, that pic in your sidebar is equivalent to the one of another Black child featuring none other than the Frat Boy with a similar expression.

That child is not drunk on O-Aid. You can't BS children, and that child looks like her parents taught her to develop her BS detector early. LOL

Hey, maybe the guy wasn't getting any at home. And that is still no excuse to throw away a career, and the trust of an entire state.

And thanks for that chris, seems he was a SD for Hillary. Hmmmmm.

Hugh O'Donnell said...

To paraphrase Jose, as a former New Yorker, my jaw did drop. I'm not gonna judge folks that (have to) pay for it, but anyone paying that much has too much money! Send it to New Orleans!

My wife would also leave me in shreds, but I'd be too embarrassed to press charges, so she'd get off with community service.

Lastly, I could respect Hillary if she'd given ol' Bill the heave-ho when he dallied with Monica. But her ambition kept her in check and off my list of real people.

BTW, in Oregon we have to be registered with the party whose primary we participate in. I switched to D so I could vote for Obama. (And I'd vote for him if he was white. It's not a "first" issue here.)

Felipe Snark said...

OT but yet another head-scratching story to come out today:

Get ready...more ish from the Clinton surrogates. Today's winner is Geraldine Ferraro, Mondale's running mate:

"I'm on Hillary's finance committee. I've done a fundraiser for her here at my firm. And I went and worked the phone banks before Super Tuesday. I have to tell you, this is a very emotional campaign for me," Ferraro said.

When the subject turned to Obama, Clinton's rival for the Democratic Party nomination, Ferraro's comments took on a decidedly bitter edge.

"I think what America feels about a woman becoming president takes a very secondary place to Obama's campaign - to a kind of campaign that it would be hard for anyone to run against," she said. "For one thing, you have the press, which has been uniquely hard on her. It's been a very sexist media. Some just don't like her. The others have gotten caught up in the Obama campaign.

"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," she continued. "And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept." Ferraro does not buy the notion of Obama as the great reconciler.


http://www.dailybreeze.com/lifeandculture/ci_8489268

Emphasis mine. Yes, the press has been "uniquely" hard on her, but Obama has gone back and forth from being "not black enough" to "too black" to "inexperienced" to having to denounce Farrakhan in that very same press. Yes, it's been a cakewalk for Obama (eyeroll).

Anonymous said...

This is a huge opportunity for Obama get back on message, and highlight the connections between Clinton and Spitzer.

Since Spitzer is such a close supporter of HRC, Obama should point out the obvious paralles of Bill and Eliots behavior. He should also make the argument that integrity along with experience is also important...and how politicians should never abuse the public's trust.

Where's the message? That Obama kicks a fellow

--As Bill actually did the creeping and is not running. . . . . (technically.) And even though Hillzilla is a mess she hasn't paid for sex and been caught. (as far as I know . . . .) So wanting Obama
to f up wagging a finger about it makes me think you are not so down with him . . . .

What is the big deal? I'm a woman. I could care less if my politician was cheating on his wife. As long as you don't do it on city time and use city resources and tax payer money, I could care less.

If this guy is as good as everybody says he is - what's the big deal.

As a woman, I can tell you that women rarely leave over an affair. Especially an affair with a slut. So, you're husband got his willy wet for a few hours. Big deal. They all stay.

Move on people, there's nothing here for you to see.

MartiniCocoa said...

Spitzer's wife (like so many before) must be on tranquilizers to be standing beside him while he tries to explain his duality.

Why I could never be a political wife:
I would be on the way to a secluded beach resort with the kids but no cell phone, television access.

I can only imagine her humiliation and rage. Also, Eliot can't promise the White House to make up for being led by his Downstairs Eliot.

Brian said...

Idiot Spitzer (Probably Hillary's real VP choice btw) will go down as one of the biggest hypocrites in recent history.

One would think that with all of that experience as a Prosecutor, that he would know how to creep around without getting caught (not endorsing his creeping...just pointing out that if anyone would know how to creep under the radar...it should be him).

How dumb can you be to leave a paper trail...and to use the phone? When you are in such a high profile position...you have to meet in person, use cash, and use 'dead drop' techniques likes spies do.

It was almost as if he wanted to get caught.

And he was probably doing this before he became Governor.... that's why he felt so comfortable with his guard down.

But as a Governor of a State like New York... you have no privacy whatsoever. Your every move is documented...and there are always witnesses. So the fact that he felt comfortable using the phone and using his accounts...it's just baffling.

He also happened to be a member of Hillary Clinton's cheerleading squad... and a Superdelegate. I wonder why the mainstream corporate media isn't pointing this out. If an Obama cheerleader was in trouble... they would run the story every 5 minutes...and would try to tie Obama to the person in question. But when it's Hillary... the media goes silent.

Hopefully Idiot Spitzer will step down soon, because if he tries to drag this on, he may hurt his Party in an election year, just like his friend Hillary Clinton. He could make New York more competitive than it should be in November (although I expect Democrats to win the State). The problem with New York is that it's a quiet & closeted swing State. New York City, for example, has elected a series of Republican mayors (although "moderates")..., and upstate New York is more competitive for Republicans. The Governorship has also been competitive... so the State has the potential to swing out of Democratic hands under the right conditions.

I agree with you Anonymous 2:40 about not caring about Eliot Spitzer's sex life . . . Unfortunately, it seems the dear Governor broke a couple of laws--interstate paid sex, and doing business with money launderers. . . . I guess you have to hold elected officials to some standard.

And what the hell was an ex-AG thinking when he started doing this shit! Doesn't he know George Bush is tapping everybody?

Now if he had been having an everyday affair
it wouldn't have been anybody's business but his wife's. Although I'd love it if this episode wasn't fodder for our porn loving ears too.

Field? Christoper Chambers? Mack? Christopher? Someone explain....

Christian Progressive Liberal,

You know what I think about Eliot Spitzer?

It's like the tough guy who is always calling another man a "faggot" only to learn he's sucking cock in the neighborhood park.

Eliot, AKA, Client #9 needed that protective patina of SuperCop to hide his cheating ass behind (memba when he busted the prostitution ring a few years ago and called the behavior "disgusting?") because in reality, Spitzer was engaged in the very behavior he said was so offensive.

He's a worldclass H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E. which is why he will receive far less sympathy and compassion than anyone else in New York.

I am delighting in the irony of the Borg Queen's superdelegate extraordinaire getting busted in Hookergate. What a reminder of cheating, straight men, who lie to their wives and families while they have dalliances with women in secret. Bill Clinton, anyone?

No wonder the Borg Queen had "no comment" when a reporter asked her for her thoughts yesterday.

But my heart goes out to his family. Especially, his three, school age daughters who will now have to deal with asshole kids who know papa is Client #9. I hope wife Silda sues him for half of everything.

Geraldine Ferraro is saying Obama is "lucky" and has an advantage because he is black, and that otherwise, he wouldn't be doing as well as he is.

It's on par w/ Rush Limbaugh's statements about McNabb years back.

Such a statement ignores how Obama has needed extra security detail, the many death threats he has received, having to "denounce and reject" Luis Farrakhan and having 20% of white Ohioans who voted against him saying that "race was an important factor" among other things.

It shows ignorance and feeds the idea that Obama is an "affirmative action candidate."

Field:

I have to say that I am not shock because after being a resident of New Jersey and witnessing Gov. McGreevy's confession of his affair with another man and being a "Gay American" is pretty much a walk in the park.

I am not one of these moralist and wonder why prostitution is not legal in the first place. This country is one great paradox where there is at least a $10 billion sex industry business in this country, but we act like prudes. To clarify, I am a woman and always thought it was none of my business if a man or woman wanted to pay for sex. Now I do not understand why anyone wants to pay for sex when you can get for free for the most part, but people are willing to do it.

What I find astounding that a seemingly bright and competent person would make such a poor judgement as to get on the phone to contact a high-priced call girl. However, if I was his wife, I wouldn't have stood by him becausw what would be the point. His wife has to be humiliated and being in the public eye just magnifies that humiliation.

Spitzer definitely has weaknesses as all of do, but he had successfully kept them hidden up until now. At least we now know that he is very human. I do think that if you used tax dollars for his sexual liaison, he should resigned and may have to anyway if the feds decide to press charges. However, don't feds have some identity thieves to catch?

Christopher Chambers said...

Spitzer is the type of jerkoff of whom Obama can argue needs to be purged from the party. This would include 75% of the Black Caucus. Democrats have this tendency to think they are more important than the institutions they serve or the vital missions they undertake. Maybe they learned that from OUR leaders and pastors, who knows? Regardless, their self-aggrandizing bullshit ends up tainting and often derailing those institutions and vital missions. Frankly, if I were Barack, I'd give a damn press conference on this right at the NT-Pa. border and hint heavily that Spitzer's Hillary and Bill's kinda folk!

Everyone was looking for this high price power trick stuff in DC to pop off. Well, it did. Just NOT how we thought.

Frankly I say good riddance, for Elliott Spitzer was my RA at PRINCETON when I was a freshman and I hated the m-f. Hell with his wife , too...

I don't care about what goes on (or doesn't) between a couple. Like an another poster said, the porn industry brings in over 10 billion a year. Who is buying it. We are so messed up in this country when it comes to sex.

My issue with Spitzer is he committed a felony. He is a former Attorney General! He must know have a prostitute cross state lines is a felony.

This Governor has a bunch of enemies (and not just on the other side of the aisle), because he was so self-righteous and smug. I wonder if he wanted to get caught. I just don't understand the recklessness of his actions.

Plus he has 3 daughters...would he like it if some man solicited them like that? Despicable!

Legalize prostitution, at the very least fix the Mann Act so that any guy who has paid for a girlfriends train/bus ticket isn't a criminal. In a sane society this much to do about less than nothing, I'm sure Slida can handle it.

I agree with you there jp, we should legalize it and tax it. We should also monitor the people in the business for deceases. This would be a non story for me if the guy wasn't such a f*****g hypocrite. I think folks know that I am pretty much a libertarian, and I could really give a damn what happens between two consenting adults.
