    When you are the leader of this country you better be able to keep your cigar in its box, among other things!!! AND, not lie to the American public who put you in office. (I did not….) Oh yeah, and what is is?

    Pat, I believe there is a correlation between Clinton and Spitzer, can’t speak for others. You have sitting politicians betraying the public trust. The arrogance of both Bill and Elliot believing they can do as they please, whether treading the legal aspect or doing something illegal. Both are said to very intelligent individuals, but both I think believe they are above the law. Spitzer’s is worse since he built his career on being a bulldog. Clinton just built his career on bull. We don’t need puritans in office, but you must use good judgement and not place yourself in comprising circumstances. We can disagree with that persons politics and that does not make him/her a bad person.

    ya gotta love all of this: the right wingers like Limburger, Hannidope, and the Coultergeist are all gloating about the “moral bankruptcy of the Democratic Party” while the pinko-libs are all offended that this man should even face scrutiny in the first place.

    Unless you’re a member of the Whigs, no political party is squeaky-clean. This isn’t about a Godless Democrat or a God-fearing Republican. This is about some schmuck who didn’t practice what he preached and he finally got caught for it. Freakin’ hypocrite.

    Actually, George Fox is the name of Spitzer’s good friend and campaign contributor. Nothing like sullying your supporter’s good name!

    Suspect it just isn’t that uncommon of a name. But in this case, it was a friend/associate with whom he sometimes travels and who contributed significantly to his campaign.

    Spitzer’s crminal charges are much more likely to come because of something to do with the money rather than the sex. Johns are rarely prosecuted and even when they are, they don’t serve time and he should not lose his right to his livelihood for this. Otherwise, they can stand out on Hoe Ave in the Bronx on a Friday night (I kid you not) and shut down Wall Street. It’s unreal to see the not just the BMWs and Mercedes, but the cars with babyseats in the back, and the mini-vans. What he did was just at a different price. As the say, the profession is still the same.
