yeah, sure. progressing his father's day inside some high-priced prostitute.

Gov. Patterson, please step up to the podium.

Let him without sin cast the first stone.

15 years ago, i'd have said he should resign. today, after seeing a president steal 2 elections, start a war based on lies, and illegally spy on the American people, i say: i hope Spitzer doesn't resign. it seems that repubs can get away with anything.

He was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He is not the only politician who is guilty of this immorality. Pray for him and his family because I am sure that they are experiencing difficult times and need our prayers

yeah....

gee, the same week Fallon quit CentCom.

move along, nothing to see here...

except the clear message that legislating vice & morality guarantees nobody is immune... from anything but privacy violations

"Silent Freedom is Freedom Silenced"

This is absolutely ridiculous. He resigned over this?? Foolish. The guy should just shut up, take his sentence for the Mann Act violation, and go back to work. So what if he's a hypocrite, who isn't. I'd rather have a guy in the head office who maybe "gets some on the side" but knows how to be effective in his job, how to identify and go after the guys who are telling the really big lies that affect millions of lives. Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, and Mr. Rove, and company all claim to be Christians and live by a moral code -- some moral code! It is apparently a moral code that says it is ok to violate the Constitution, lie to the whole country, start wars, lock people up without charging them, approve torture, gorge all your rich friends' pockets with even more cash while they cleverly push millions of poor people down even further -- and write a signing statement after every law is passed that says "Oh but I really don't have to do what this law says. . ." But ooh no, no sex, that is really breaking the moral code. Spitzer resigns over a hooker??? You have got to be kidding me. Is there more to this?

it's a shame that someone so effective in protecting the consumers can be so effectively removed from his good works by something so private. i understand he made enemies among the powers that be;and that may be why he is where he is today. where will our next hero come from?

SalarO.com steals customers project money is owned by an Iranian Salar Golestanian who is based in Iran with interests in the US and UK for easy pickings.
We have heard he is being investigated for Theft and obtaining monies by Deception by numerous customers he has ripped off.
We need advice as to how we can get our money back from this Rogue Trader who is subjecting his US and UK customers to financial losses including us,all the money amounting to several hundred thousand dollars which we trusted to SalarO.com to develop our business sites has gone missing and Salar Golestanian refuses to answer us or even attempt to honour his broken promises and at least complete what he was paid to do.
Any ideas as to how we can now screw him and stop him using the Web to promote his dodgy business.

He's a criminal. And he's supremely knowledgable regarding ALL of the crimes he committed. if he didn't resign he'd be out by end of next week via impeachment. No one really cares he had extramarital sex except his family.Anyone who blithely glosses over the MULTIPLE CRIMES is a sycophant. He didn't even cover hsi tracks at the bank or the whore house. He's a moron.

Gee, who's going to be the first Jewish President now?

Try reading this take. How Bush took out Spitzer.

http://www.gregpalast.com/

Issues are not 2 line statements.

How will the public understand that the Carlyle group the worlds most powerful money people plus other neo cons brought down Elliot Spitzer when he started heating up information that leads towards the white house which was much hotter than his hotel suite.Greg Palast investigating the collapse prime mortgage saga! The notorious Carlyl group which includes Poppa Bush and kingdoms around the world were involved in the sub prime scandal among others. Read Greg Palast article for details. How will the truth be told to the America? Now Spitzer is off the charts. I fear that David Patterson who wishes to save his job will work harder and try to get along with everyone!!. We lost a brilliant man who could have been a powerful whistle blower, whose lips are forever sealed. Woe is us!.

to hell can't wait

at least this one did something positive, the entire bush administration has screwed everything in its path for its gain while preaching moral objectivity - what planet do you live on?

we should accept the fact that politicians are ego maniacs and ego maniacs have lots of affairs, god arent I smart sexy and funny

"He’s famously fought Wall Street"? Really? By smearing people in the press only to never bring charges against them because of lack of evidence? Spitzer was always out of control and arrogant. Just because his targets were wealthy and powerful doesn't mean his methods weren't unethical.

comedy central 11:30

"A Blowjob delayed is a Blowjob Denied"

he is great man at hisjob as a.j.what he did at wall street is high ethical.unfortunatly,sex is men's weekness,it is personal affair,not illegal.--ameer.

R U kidding me. Politics now a days, for me at least, is a lesson in rehtorical comedy. So what that ES is a male prostitute it's hilarious. It's only a small step down from BC getting hummers in the oval office. Do you really think that these wives are shocked or anguished by their husbands infidelity? NO WAY!!!!! They are fully aware of what goes along with the EGO's of these absolute power mentality gladiators. If Hillary had the slightest bit of testicular fortitude she would have sent Bill packing; but she's smart enough to see the big picture. He may in the end be an asset to her own power struggle, as is quite clear today. Can she beat Barrack, seems remote, but the groundwork is laid for the future. She certainly is the best shot for a woman president today or in the future. And as far as the Presidency goes the bar has never been lower; on a good day Dilbert has a realistic shot at the throne. Ultimately, I hope Iraq keeps going south so McCain gets his ass stomped as it should be. I really might have voted for him a year ago before he signed onto the Bush bandwagon that the surge was working. What a NIMROD; goes to show that 5+ years in the Hanoi Hilton isn't enough to disuade a prisoner to walk away from a bad fight. And as far as Eliot goes, it would not suprise me a bit if he ran for President and WON. Just look at Washington DC; Marion Berry - Crack Head extrodinare regains political prominence. It only gets better with time. I've reached the point where nothing at all shocks me anymore.

There are many ways to get rid of "progressives". Weak ones, who succumb to "temptation", are easily dispatched by the ensuing scandal. Strong ones are "assasinated". Remember those who are no longer with us- from the Black Panthers(some were killed, some scandalized) to others whose names I need not mention. In some parts of the world Spitzer's weakness and his "sins", as a politician, might not have warranted a sentence in the press. It was a jolly distraction from the real horrors of what's happening in the real world. Interesting.

If your wife can't trust you, neither can I.

The most damning thing about Eliot is that he quit the field.
He took what might have been considered a nasty flaw and turned it into a real deficit of character.
He then reveals himself as a bully, a liar, a coward, and a man who would flee public service.
Everything that Spitzer did must stand on it's own merits. Not of the things Spitzer has any merit that might have been inherited by it's being opposed by a noble man.
I can see the the GOP will not pursue him: they beat him and he folded. But the Dems should take him to task for being the foole.

To Skeptik:

You're the only one who got even close. First, a joke: What's the difference between a Democrat and a Republican?

A Democrat uses a woman for sex. A Republican uses her for everything else.

Now for some Truth. Ready?
BLACK IS WHITE. WHITE IS BLACK.
Marilyn Monroe was a mole--a spy, a plant, supposed to character assassinate JFK (for "stealing" the presidential election from NIXON, who was already bought and paid for by Big Oil in Texas).
The scene where she stood on stage singing "Happy Birthday"?
She was MOCKING him.
Threats to her career, her own reputation damning her if she went public, racked with guilt, feeling desperate, on a hot August night she collapsed, full of painkillers and other drugs, and died. But not before making a confessional call to JFK. Bobby Kennedy DID come over the following morning, upon which they broke in.

With their main weapon gone, NIXON and other Inner Circle Republicans plotted JFK's assassination, which occurred the following year, on November 22, 1963.

Ten years later, NIXON and his gang of thugs were at it again, only this time they got caught in the ugly events which became notoriously known as WATERGATE. Roger Stone, who orchestrated SPITZER'S political assassination, at age 20 mentored with NIXON, and was a participant in WATERGATE. A 35-year professional political assassin, Stone is the most dangerous person in the U.S. today--BAR NONE. Murder is not off the table for him. There has not been a real democracy in this country since the end of the Second World War. Big Oil Republicans have been assassinating independent and aggressive Democratic leaders and candidates for the last fifty years. Stone was involved with John Kerry's political assassination as well. The IRS was NOT conducting a "routine examination of Spitzer's bank records." Questionable bank transactions are legally referred to the attorney general. (You can check this out yourself by calling a bank attorney--one who practices banking law.)
BLACK IS WHITE. WHITE IS BLACK.
George Bush (the devil's mother is a reptile) stepped into NIXON'S shoes when he stole the election--in which Stone also played a part by organizing a militia which florcibly took over a government election office in Florida.
Stone is the most dangerous man in the U.S. today--BAR NONE. Murder is not off the table for him. He arranged SPITZER'S political assassination. Spitzer's sexual shenanigans saved him--if Bruno and other Republican N.Y. State senators didn't get him this way, like JFK, they would have gotten him another. Beware the Ides of March. BLACK IS WHITE. WHITE IS BLACK.
Once BIG OIL took over the White House, the invasion of raq was pro forma--they just needed an excuse. With their own oil supplies running out, to stay in the game, they needed new sources, and so Big Oil decided to stake out turf in Iraq. All that Iraqi and American blood has been spilt for big Oil--the devil's mother is a reptile. Blackwater was supposed to protect Big Oil's operations in Iraq once Americanm troops took care of the "messy details." Unfortunately, the gamble didn't turn out as planned. Nonetheless Big Oil is determined to maintain a toehold in the Middle East. None of those soldier's are fighting for me--or you. The U.S. is no longer the democracy it holds itself out to be, and instead has become a very dangerous country whose economy is on the brink of collapse as a result of this war, which has not provided one cent of return on the trillion or more dollars spent so far. And if you aren't nervous yet, understand that DEBT is what ultimately destroyed ROME--which was driven into those straits by an arrogant, ignorant leader called Diocletian who was a template for Bush, declaring himself to be "divinely inspired," wanted to "simplify government" and get rid of the paperwork, spent too much on the military, and whose ill-conceived plans drove Rome into a pit of debt which its citizens were unable to climb out of, being born into debt and dying in debt, forced to maintain bankrupt business's and farms in order to pay Diocletian's taxes. Go and read about Rome, the similarities between then and now are scary. BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH. And Spitzer is right off Julius Caesar's template: Brutus, a jealous provincial administrator who arranged for Caesar's murder; Emporer's Club. Ides of March. Dictatorial Caesar who wanted to push forward honest and efficient government. Constantine, one of Spitzer's advisers. Julius Caesar winning Roman citizen's loyalty by his series of successful wars--like Spitzer's successful battles as attorney general. The similarities are chilling. So unless things change, history does repeat itself. Rome had two hundred years of glory, peace and prosperity, and then three hundred years of painful decline. I don't think the U.S. has that long. I think things are going to decline more rapidly. As a result of this, what was Rome's ultimate end? In a greatly weakened state, IT WAS INVADED by Barbarians. So when the Arabs step forth next year to bail out bankrupt New York State, remember Rome's fate. You won't have any choice either.
Which is why Vladimir Putin threw all the oilmen in jail--to keep them from taking over the Kremlin the way oilman Bush has taken over the White House, destroyed the country and attacked the constitution. Got it?

What about Bush and Victor Ashe?

Steal elections? What are you talking about? The only stolen elections have been the ones where the Demo's promised anything to get elected, then didn't do what they promised - and it's happening again!!!

It just makes me so angry. God damn America.

Money Laundering 101, Instructor: Eliot Spitzer, prerequisite-holding public office. For all the cash donated to you above the legal limit---keep the cash and write yourself check for a loan!

I realize that people can see past what he has done. But you cannot compare it to a "fat intern" or a bathroom stall adventures... prostitutes are ILLEGAL. That is why it is not ok. Especially for a POLITICIAN.

Let it go already, Clinton hasn't been President for almost eight years.

abuse of the patriot act! you [deleted]ing idiots! that is the story! they used the god damn patriot act to bust him for prostitution! how have none of you morons mentioned that? do you not care about that!? that is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! [deleted] all of you. i'm going to canada.

For the other postings here, you can't excuse bad behavior by comparing it to other bad behavior.
