Report: Spitzer Linked to Prostitution

NEW YORK (AP) - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has told senior advisers that he had been involved in a prostitution ring, The New York Times reported Monday, citing an anonymous top administration official.
Spitzer, who is married with three daughters, was scheduled to make an announcement Monday afternoon. Spitzer officials wouldn't immediately comment on the story.
The Times reported that a person with knowledge of the governor's role believes the governor is identified as a client in court papers. Four people allegedly connected to a high-end prostitution ring called Emperors Club VIP were arrested last week.
The Web site of the Emperors Club VIP displays photographs of scantily clad women with their faces hidden, along with hourly rates depending on whether the prostitutes were rated with one diamond, the lowest ranking, or seven diamonds, the highest. The most highly ranked prostitutes cost $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said the defendants arranged connections between wealthy men and more than 50 prostitutes in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Miami, London and Paris.

this wont be fatal - just embarassing and reduce what little respect people had remaining (his approval rating is in the toilet)
he's a corruption / good-government pontificator, not neccessarily a morals family values pontificator so the hypocrasy angle isnt there
If he committed perjury or engaged in a coverup during the ongoing probe into his attempt to tarnish bruno that would bring him down

i could care less what he or any other pol does with his dick. UNLESS he says one thing and attacks the other side on an issue (morals etc) and then does the same thing .
what I'm saying is real-politik, it wont have much impact imo because of the l missing hypocrasy angle - I'm not the guy in charge of handing out passes

Seems like prosecuting prostitutes (as NY Attorney General), and then later soliciting them would consitute hypocrisy.Mavafanculo said:

you got a point there - but he didnt campaign on ending prostition -- as many repubs campaign on saving the institution of marraige vs the evil gays and devil hollywood promoting promiscuity etc and then get caught in a men's room stall or cheating on their wife
iow, when you think "eliot spitzer", fighting prostitutes isnt the first thing that comes to mind lol

agreed. These men of high power seem to think it's ok running some joe shmo through the system for getting a $20 bj, but they get to shell out $5k for one hour? This goes beyond hypocrisy..........and mark my words, there'll be some republican names that come out on that "emperor's club" list. I hope all you republicans here give the NY times some credit for blowing this one open. Spitzer was "their boy"........so this took journalistic integrity to report on.
Now, if we could only get the pious conservatives to admit that men will be men...be they conservative or liberal.........maybe we can get prostitution off the books as a crime. The criminlization of this is SOLELY the work of they hypocritical christians in this country who have had a problem with sex for thousands of years. Enough. It's my free market right to walk up to a woman who is perfectly willing to suck me off for $20........and taking her up on the offer. It may not be a right I would choose to excersize.......but it should be there whether I do or do not. If I get the herpaleeze because "OF MY OWN ACTIONS"........than that's on me isn't it?......

wow, if you knew him when was attorney general you would be surprised at this. He was one of those guys who spoke like he was cleaning up the state. Ever since he wanted to give illegals licenses I thought he had lost his mind or something. I don't know how he could came back from this, this is marion barber terroritory.

Additionally, the affidavit notes that after her appointment with Client-9 ended, "Kristen" spoke with a Emperors Club booker, who said that she had been told that Client-9 "would ask you to do things that, like, you might not think were safe..." "Kristen" responded by saying, essentially, that she could handle guys like that.

If he was a Republican, he would have been caught looking at naked pictures of little boys.

going to a hooker is a felony? I doubt it.
but no matter, it looks like my initial assessment of the impact may be way wrong --- the local TV news here is playing this like as if he not only had sex with the prostitute, but decapitated her and took her head home with him in a bowling ball bag
story after story - angle after angle - interview after interview ("its interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry") asking if he'll have to resign etc

the only story I read was patronizing a prostitute, and that wouldnt be a felony -- if it goes beyind that into diverting state funds to pay for it, thats a whole different thing - then it wouldnt matter if he was buying apple pie he's still fucked.
p.s. I'm no spitzer fan.

Don't get me wrong... I'd be a huge fan of situational ethics too as long is I was the only one who got to assess the situation.
