People who read the NYTimes need to have their head examined. The National Enquirer does a better job of source checking than this rag. Why is it, all of their investigative stories have the same quotes? "A person", "An Administration Official", "an unnamed source", "A person who wished to not be identified"...

"Admits involvement" in that he was a client, not that he was involved in running the ring.

That's like saying I'm a drug lord from Colombia from buying weed from a low level dealer in a high stakes drug ring.

Obviously, he broke the law by visiting a prostitute, but it's nowhere near what the title of the thread implies.

I think its a pretty big deal for someone to be prosecuting the very behavior that he partakes in.

The only thing worse would be if he were a judge.

Kay: Best investigative reporting on the planet. But go ahead, read the New York Times if you want. They get lucky sometimes.

It sounds pretty bad now that the details have come out. He arranged for her to come from NY to DC, and what he's being charged with is the federal crime of transporting women across state lines for purpose of prostitution. That's pretty serious.

What is sad, is this just reinforces my opinion. I thought he was one of the better prosecutors back in the day -- he did a lot of good things (which probably shouldn't be dismissed). If you read up on his background he was really an advocate for the people, making laws against predatory practices by lending companies was the big one I was aware of because of my job here at H&R Block.

No, he's completely screwed. And while we all know he's a massive douche, he is (was) a rising star in the Democratic party. Now his political career is shot.

He almost got caught in 2004 for the same thing, but instead of getting smart, he decided to keep on doing what he wanted.

From a recent Washington Post article:
"In 2004, [Spitzer] was part of an investigation of an escort service in New York City that resulted in the arrest of 18 people on charges of promoting prostitution and related charges."

I mean, at that point, I get back to having sex with my mediocre, sourpuss wife for free, and just count myself lucky.

I will be surprised if he is charged with anything. Normally they just charge the women. I do not agree with that sort of sexism in law enforcement, and I think they should charge both the prostitutes and the customers.

And if you'll note, all my responses were light-hearted prior to Dennis bringing up the partisan issue. I don't think his political affiliation should be an issue here. He wanted to get his D wet. He paid WAY too much. He got caught. That's it. He is going to resign. He will go to jail.

If it DOESN'T happen that way, then feel free to bring up the partisan issue.

ABC News reports (http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4424507&page=1) that Spitzer will be charged with the crime of "structuring (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/31/usc_sec_31_00005324----000-.html)," which is a financial crime involving an attempt to skirt the reporting requirements for cash transactions of $10,000 or more.

Why can't he pay this (these) bitch's (bitches') plane tickets to a place where legal prostitution exists?

For that much money, he should have arranged to mutually meet one of these covergirls as a legal equal.

Something tells me that if he got busted for this; that it's something that he's fucked with (literally) so many times, he probably was able to relate to the criminal prostitution ringleader mindframe and close cases with extra knack before the illegalities skyrocketed.

This is not lying about a blowjob. That's actual movement of a person as an object made for sexual slavery and not even giving enough of a damn to cover for yourself.

Again, not speaking from personal experience, unfortunately, you'd probably have to indulge, heavily, to the point where it seemed routine enough to be methodical enough to go from point A to B, without throwing in a legal safety net, containing the rest of the alphabet with it. Weird, amusing and peeeimp as hell.

Couldn't happen to a worse guy. This guy was/is a criminal through and through. He bullied a lot of big NY companies into having their CEOs resign and then bullied them into hiring his friends and even former prosecutors.

Completely agree, Drew. The guy is a complete douche. No love lost here.

He was an ass. Some of those companies did some shady things.

Ah, the GOP thinks he was a douche because he held white collar criminals actually accountable for their crimes, and made it a focus of his administration as AG.

If that makes him the worst guy this could possibly happen to, you've got some fucked up priorities. The worst guy this could happen to is Karl Rove or Dick Cheney.

:rofl:

How did I KNOW Karl Rove was going to be mentioned. I also had $5 on Scooter Libby, George W Bush and Rush Limbaugh.

It's like reading a cheap comic book.. you know the ending before you even open the cover.

Man, everyone knows Darth Vader is the tool of the white man! Look at him...Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!

No, it's because you guys are so predictable. A Democrat gets caught... well, don't forget how evil Karl Rove and George W Bush is!

It's page one out of the liberal media handbook.
