Re: Spitzer Involved in Prostitution Ring?
remember the million man march?
we need a million woman march.... we have to unite as a gender, develop some personal pride, and NOT stand by our man when he's doing seriously horrendous things behind our backs, embarrassing us, and even worse.... possibly slipping us a VD at night
I'm so tired of seeing shaken up women standing by these sleezeball politician husbands.
this is ridiculous. spitzer is just like giuliani. both of them had one good thread in their former legal past... but overall are NY train wrecks with their ethics.
I hope he's forced out of office ASAP.

Maybe it's just me but it's not my husband so I really don't care. Sure I feel bad for her and their kids but  it's their marriage not mine

we kept our old married w children president right?? Who really cares, i feel bad for his wife and children!
Having an affair is not illegal. Hiring hookers is. He's a lawyer, he's broken up these rings in the past. If this is true it proves he thought he was above the law. Sorry Charlie, your poop stinks too.
Actually Adultery is a Felony in New York State.

I'm pretty sure adultery is a misdemeanor in NY.

Anyways I didn't know the Lt. Gov is legally blind. Assuming he takes the job, could he be the first legally blind person to hold such a high political position?
I didn't know that either, but according to Wikipedia, if he did becoem Govenor, he would be the first blind govenor of any state in the US. He was also be the first African American govenor of NYS.

Thank You...I was wrong..it is a class B misdemeanor...it is still, however, illegal.
Shame on you Mr Spitzer!!!

Wow, I never knew that. I've never heard of anyone being arrested for it, and it has to have come out in divorce proceedings. Interesting.

Re: Spitzer Involved in Prostitution Ring?
He apparently had the prostitute sent to him FROM NY to DC. This is illegal as it is considered huiman trafficing as they are crossing state lines. (Or something like that).
It's a disgrace - this is what we pay his salary for? If her were having an affair I would say it is between him and his wife (and God) but what he did is illegal, aside from being immoral....

Re: Spitzer Involved in Prostitution Ring?
It's unbelievable irony. As attorney general he made his name by prosecuting those running prostitution rings. I guess it's typical- pretending to be disgusted by what you're actually into. Those people he prosected might have a case against him now. Biased much...

Re: Spitzer Involved in Prostitution Ring?
I just have to add my $0.02
My office is all a-buzz and thrilled this dirty rat got caught.
I lost my job when he decided to take on the insurance industry and I did nothing wrong! It's taken me three years to get back into the city and recover my career stride.
Most of my current office is Ex-Marsh employees affected by Mr. Spitzer and we've all agreed when he's arrested or formally resigned we are all going out for drinks.
Preggo or not, I sipping some champagne!

Re: Spitzer Involved in Prostitution Ring?
I think what he did is disgraceful being that he is supposed to uphold the law and set an example to his state.
However, I don't think this is what we are paying his salary for. Politicians have money before they get into politics and politicians don't actually make a lot of money. They are not doing it for the money. They do it for power, fame and I guess also to help govern the country. Many governors don't even accept their salary, but Spitzer does.
I got this from a website that lists the governor's salary. At $179,000, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) draws the largest salary among governors who actually accept one.
Being that him and his wife both went to Harvard Law I don't think he needs our money to pay for his sex.
That all being said I think he should resign because it's going to be too much of a distraction for him. He can't perform his job properly with this circus going on around him.

And how much of that hefty salary went to his $4500 an hour call girl An absolute disgrace...I feel bad for his family..what his wife must have been thinking standing there. That must have been some limo ride home

Re: Spitzer Involved in Prostitution Ring?
Let's bear in mind here that there is more to this story than just hiring a prositut. We're talking about SERIOUS federal crimes. In fact, the allegations arose from a tax investigation, and I find these allegations very troubling. This is NOT just about cheating on his wife and prostitution, though in my mind, that's bad enough...
It was a tax investigation that nabbed Chicago mobster Al Capone, linked to the notorious St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of rival gang members.
And it was a tax investigation that led to allegations revealed yesterday against New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, the respected former state attorney general who reportedly linked up with a high-priced prostitute in a Washington, D.C., hotel on the eve of Valentine’s Day.
The probe began when IRS agents were doing a routine investigation of suspicious transactions reported by banks, the New York Times reports. They found that the governor was moving cash in an apparent attempt to conceal the source, destination or purpose, officials told the Times.
The money was being transferred to shell companies, leading investigators to at first suspect bribery or political corruption. The IRS agents began working with political corruption prosecutors in the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan, who received permission from the U.S. attorney general to proceed.
The probe soon found that the money was being transferred to pay the high-priced prostitution ring known as Emperors Club VIP, the paper says. The club used shell companies called the QAT Consulting Group, QAT International and Protech Consulting to hold money from clients who were willing to pay up to $5,000 for sex.
Spitzer made a statement yesterday acknowledging that he had violated his obligations to his family without specifically addressing the prostitution allegations, first revealed by the New York Times. A wiretap had captured Spitzer arranging to meet a woman employed by the club, and Spitzer had admitted to senior administration officials that he was involved in a prostitution ring, the Times story had said.
Speaking with his wife at his side, Spitzer apologized both to his family and the public. He did not take any questions from reporters and did not say whether he would remain in office.
