New York Governor Linked to Prostitution Ring
Mar 10, 2008 Political
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has been linked to a prostitution ring in the state. Spitzer, who is married with children, is scheduled to hold a press conference this afternoon though there are no specifics as to how detailed his discussion will be. There have been no details as to what his involvement was, exactly, so one can only speculate if he visited prostitutes or was involved in the operation of the ring.
I am wondering if Howard Dean and the rest of the Democrats will come unhinged over this. I want to know if they will be demanding the resignation of Spitzer and if they will paint all Democrats with the broad brush of perversion that was used to paint Republicans after the Foley and Craig incidents.
It will be particularly interesting to see how the liberals excuse this behavior, as they did with Bill Clinton, and if they tout Spitzer’s proclaimed toughness on crime and corruption as a mitigating factor in how he should be treated.
Come on Dems, where are all your calls for resignation? Where are all the snide remarks and accusations of widespread perversion? If this were a Republican Governor you guys would be barking at the moon. [For the record, I think they should all be removed from office, regardless of party]
There is only one thing about this that disappoints me and that is it wasn’t the Governor of Maryland who got caught. Then again, Governor O’Malley is probably not visiting a brothel.
He is too busy screwing the citizens of Maryland instead.
