Elliot Spitzer and his Prostitute

Proving that corrupt personal behaviour is not just a Republican fad, New York Democratic Governor Elliot Spitzer is facing demands for his resignation after it was unveiled that he used the services of a prostitute in Washington, D.C.

Spitzer, who fought white collar corruption and made it his personal goal to destroy as many financial institutions as possible, has not admitted to the allegations, but nor has he denied them either. In a press conference in which he took no questions, he admitted to an undisclosed personal discretion, which in layman's terms means he had sex with a woman who was not named Mrs. Spitzer.

Spitzer, meanwhile, has endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. I am sure Mrs. Spitzer can now relate to Hillary Clinton, as both of them have husbands that have cheated on them with other women, though Bill Clinton, to his credit, usually stuck to fat interns and assistants, not hookers. Now Hillary can claim that she's been endorsed by the most prominent Governor who's been accused of having sex with a prostitute. I wonder if Obama has been endorsed by anyone who's had sex with a prostitute.

Anyway, Elliot has yet to resign from office, but given that many other politicians have been charged with sexual indiscretions and did not resign (read Bill Clinton, Larry Craig), I do not expect Spitzer to resign. He will continue in office pretending nothing ever happened. He will claim that his relationship for his wife and his family is strong and they have forgiven him. They will work together to overcome this challenge and it will bring them closer together. We all know this is a bunch of B.S.

Fortunately for politicians, most voters are really stupid and will not remember anything about this in 3 months. And if it is brought up again in the next election, the Republicans will be charged with playing dirty politics.

Elliot Spitzer optimizes the image of the hypocritical limousine liberal. "Do as I say, not as I do, or I'll bring you before a grand jury and destroy your reputation and your career. Oh, and ignore that prostitute under my desk."

Best quote that I have seen regarding Spitzer: "We should elect milkmen to be politicians. They never get caught."
