I don’t care what party you’re with, anyone who spends 80 grand on high priced hookers shouldn’t be a governor anymore.
UPDATE [–Goldy]:
I’m not so sure I agree with Will. If patronizing a prostitute were suddenly a disqualification for office, we’d have an awful lot of high profile resignations to report today. And if marital infidelity were made a disqualification, Washington D.C. would become a virtual ghost town. I myself have never been unfaithful, and I don’t have much sympathy for people who have, but it seems to me to be the human condition rather than a peculiar of flaw of folks like Spitzer.
On the bright side, Spitzer will always be remembered for delivering to New Yorkers their first black governor, Gov. David Paterson:

Why?
You seem obsessed with sex. What I see is that Spitzer purchased the services of a highly talented professional who makes her living by sex.
The amount of money sounds consistent with what I am told a geisha might cost in Japan. Woulf this be OK ifr the lady were a geisha?
Suppose instead Spitzer belonged to some gourmet society that ate only the rarest of foods? How abot a truffle cakes with gold foil wrapped 100 year old figs cooked in the last bottle of the greatest vintage of the 1900s. Would THAT be OK?
I happen to be very lucky and in love with my wife, bit I also know people with opne marriages. Would this also go away if Ms. S had been in the know?
What ticks me off about y’all is the sanctimonious attitude. Moreover, while Will is generally consistent in his class attitudes, e.g. he would let the “rich” suffer by not protecting their interests when the 520 is rebuilt, I get the impression that piper is fully tolerant of the excesses of Paul Allen as long as they are legal,
Actually, there is an interesting comparison here. Paul Allen with his awesome wealth, owns yachts, planes, teams, etc. He does not take advatage o his postion to be the sort of philanthropist Bill G is.
When Allan spends 300 million on his next yacht is that OK?

@5…Steve…
Sorry…Spitzer got elected based upon his rep as a crusader against the very activity he now engages in. In addition, as NY’s Gov, he’s the chief law enforcement officer in the state, and he’s obliged more than any other to follow both the letter and spirit of the law.
Maybe buying the services of a geisha is legal in Japan – I wouldn’t know and care not to find out – but buying the services of a prostitute is still a crime in most parts of the US. Parsing shoulda, coulda, wouldas in Eliot’s favor doesn’t get the job done.
Interesting that the commentary from Democrats on this issue – save uber-left apologists who never see scum behavior they can’t either rationalize away or attribute to a vast right-wing conspiracy – hasn’t been kind to him. Apparently, not even his own people like him. He’s characterized as mean, thinking his don’t stink, and an all around nasty guy.
Instead of excusing his behavior, consider how it impacts his wife and three DAUGHTERS! How do you think it sits with DAUGHTERS to hear that their father has patronized hookers for as long as 10-years? Spending, as Will noted, some $80K on them? How do you think that must make them feel as young women? To see their mother humiliated in this fashion?

I think Spitzer should resign (apparantly he did this morning). I think the Democrats should set a high standard for ethical behavior.
I also think Spitzer was targeted for political purposes, and that should be investigated also. This “leak” from the F.B.I. or justice department, about an ongoing investigation, is rather convenient for Bush & Co., and has Karl Rove written all over it. I’m not buying the story that this whole investigation originated because the bank reported suspicious cash transactions. This guy was very wealthy, a few thousand dollars in cash withdrawals at a time (well below the $10,000 limit for reporting to the I.R.S.) is probably nothing significant for this bank, or these types of wealthy people. The potential use of government law enforcement agencies to investigate and target political opponants is a far more serious crime, one that threatens the foundations of our democracy, than whether or not the N.Y. governor spent an hour or two with a call girl and paid cash to do so.
And while we are at it, where is the moral outrage by the Republicans that Vitter is still in office? And how come he is not the subject of an F.B.I. and I.R.S. probe into how he paid for his hookers?
At least Spitzer appears to have used his own money – unlike Gulianni, who used various NYC government accounts to pay for his mistresses’ travels. Where is the F.B.I. investigation into that government curruptions scandal?
(sounds of crickets chirping).

@9 Piper
I have no idea what the moral rules are in the Spitzer family. They are Jews so while they may acept living ina Christian society, they may or may not feel YOUR laws are moral. Certainly, our tradition includes concubinage and mutiple spouses so I am nto sure how they feel.
BTW Spitzer never prosecuted a Joh or Ho. He prosecuted the criminal rings that ONLY exist because this business is illegal. This is no more important than buying some MJ or placing a bet.
As for his wife, you are being a sexist. She may be humiliated. OTOH, maybe she knows about this. Maybe Eliot is doing it because they have a poor live life and he needs ot fulfill this eed another way. Hell maybe she is payoing this bill. None of that is MY business.

FYI…I’m on record calling for him to resign.
However, comparing the facts of each case there are some legal distinctions both in the nature of the offense and the status of the offender.
Spitzer’s situation involves allegations of possible financial impropriety, the crossing of state lines, and a whole host of other stuff. Vitter’s activity was both local (in D.C.) and some years back (statute of limitations had apparently expired).
Also, Spitzer, as a Governor, contrasts with Vitter’s status as a legislator. May not sound like much, but it puts Spitzer in an entirely different ballpark.

Besides, if you look at the pics and video of Spitzer’s wife, there’s no question that she’s disgusted, humiliated, feels betrayed (she was), and is thoroughly embarrassed.
He knew his actions were illegal because as attorney general he prosecuted prostitution rings and money laundering schemes.
http://www.breitbart.com/artic....._article=1
Consider also, who out there is calling for him to remain on the job? Who is willing to excuse the behavior? Who shrugs their shoulders to say, “No big deal.” Only those on the far left.
Sure, prostitution isn’t often prosecuted. But for the governor of one of the nation’s largest states to get caught up in it not because of it per se, but because he swung at the tar baby of a routine money laundering investigation says that he has to go.
Yet the apologists see the shadow of another conspiracy.
Will at least takes this on face value while many of the HA Happy Hooligans can’t bring themselves to see themselves as anything other than persecuted political prisoners and victims. Why not try this on for size: Eliot Spitzer is a putz, got his hand caught in the nookie jar (I coined that phrase yesterday or day before, BTW), violated his oath of office and his personal pledge to be honest and ethical, and, for the good of the people of NY, ought to go.

This has allowed the illusion of prosperity to be maintained while money gets poured down the rathole of Smirky’s War.

Spitzer (D-Accused) resigns while Craig (R-Convicted) continues to stink up the Senate — does anyone see the incongruity here? Where are the Republican calls for Craig’s recall or impeachment? This whole thing reeks of hypocrisy; in fact, it reeks of setup, entrapment, scheming, and Rovian dirty politics. I feel the big story has yet to be uncovered … I think Spitzer — the country’s most effective prosecutor of corporate crooks — was targeted by Big Business and their wholly owned subsidiary, the Crooks and Liars Party — and was lured in. This resignation is a travesty, but not for the reason you think, Will; Spitzer should have told the Republican hit squad to go to hell; Democrats should have closed ranks behind him, and fought like hell. Fucking a prostitute has nothing to do with the duties of New York’s governor; it’s the kind of “offense” that voters, not media or internet vigilantes, should rule on. This is a political matter, not a criminal matter, that should have been dealt with by New York’s voters when Spitzer ran for re-election. By caving in, Spitzer (and you) played right into the GOP’s nefarious and scheming hands.

And again the double standard – the GOP calls for the resignation of Spitzer but encourages its members to hold on.
Hypocrites – Hypocrites – Hypocrites
Richard Pope spews:
For better or worse, Vitter and Craig only committed misdemeanors. Craig was convicted of his crime, and the statute of limitations elapsed on Vitter’s crimes. There is no legal mechanism to recall a Senator from office, and the level of misconduct insufficient to expel them from office under impeachment or expulsion provisions.
Spitzer, on the other hand, would be accused of not only the misdemeanor of patronizing a prostitute, but the felony of transporting someone accross state lines for purposes of prostitution. And apparently there is the possibility of federal felony prosecution for money laundering, based on the way he shifted money around to conceal transactions and avoid reporting requirements.
But a lot depends on the person involved. Craig and Vitter chose to hang onto office, and will get to serve the rest of their terms. DeLay, Foley, and Spitzer, on the other hand, all resigned from office before their terms expired. Each person chose to stay or resign, perhaps largely based on what they perceived to be in their own best interests.
ByeByeGOP spews:
Richard – Spitzer has not been charged with any crime – yet the GOP still called for his resignation.
And there is ALWAYS a possibility of federal charges against any GOP member once we get the Dems back in complete control. All of the stuff they’ve been hiding will be uncovered.

@ 42:
What an enigma; on the one hand I do have to defend the Republicans on the Larry Craig incident because they did call for his resignation, Senators, Congressmen, Idaho’s Governor and his constituents. His was a crime involving homosexuality.
But, Senator Vitter was involved with prostitution with a female so silence from the “moral majority.” I suppose that’s because it was a crime involving heterosexual relationships.
A pattern is emerging here though, when Mayor Jim West was caught up in a sex scandal, a “gay” sex scandal the Right called for his resignation also. In fact, I think they recalled the mayor.
So the lesson to learn about Republican sex scandals is: hetero sex scandals OK, Gay sex scandals = the Apocalypse.

“But state officials said the governor may have left himself vulnerable by paying for the prostitute’s transportation to Washington — a possible federal crime under the Mann Act — as well as possibly using state funds for trips to meet with prostitutes and making his police guards complicit in the behavior.”
“The criminal investigation into Spitzer began when North Fork Bank notified the Treasury Department’s financial crimes network about suspicious activity in one of the governor’s personal accounts, another source familiar with the case said.
Spitzer, whose father presides over a Manhattan real estate empire, holds certificates of deposit at North Fork, as well as a bond portfolio and mutual funds at other financial institutions, according to his financial disclosure reports.
In this case, the bank’s report was triggered by Spitzer’s attempt to structure a $10,000 cash transaction into three parts, according to a senior law enforcement official familiar with the evidence. When investigators looked more closely at the transactions, they learned that the recipients were apparent shell companies associated with the Emperors Club.
Investigators have identified at least eight instances in which Spitzer used the Emperors Club over the past several years, this official said, adding that they are still examining records to determine the scope of his activity.”
