Governer Spitzer to Resign

So it seems... after this. How crazy and stupid do you have to be? That's pretty much all there is to say. What a moron. Good riddance.

Remember, he ran a campaign on "ethical standards". Instead, he has been caught using a prostitute ring that charges up to $5,500/hour (your tax money at work?).

Apparently, he was indicted on Feb. 7th in a sealed document.

  1. You know, maybe an average Joe thinks he can get away with these kinds of things, but what do these politicians think? How stupid does someone need to be to try to get away with something like this?

    Anyway, sarak is right, this was the essence of stupidity. And yet again, it's the wife and kids who suffer...

  5. Are you sure he's resigning over it? It seemed unclear to me from the news articles I've read thus far.

  6. Originally they thought that the press conferences was to resign; now rumors are that he'll resign this evening as part of a plea bargain. But I don't know.

  8. What a hypocrite. Another politician enforcing laws on others he doesn't follow himself. Prostitution between consenting adults shouldn't be illegal in the first place. Here's a clue: not everything you (or I) think is immoral should be illegal.

    I could never be an attorney general.

  9. maybe he got mixed up between constituents and prostitutes ... (was that a stretch for a joke?)

    He did it because he has always been an arrogant pompous a@@. He thinks he's so suave he could do it and get away with it. I've always disliked him. He's probably got ten more scandals behind this one. If this didnt bring him down something else would have. What a joke.

  10. Please tell me what you people care about this so much? there are so many people in political power who do this like Bill Clition who cheated his wife. I mean, i really don't care because i just care about the laws he was trying to pass for other people. Look, you tend to be caught up with tremendous power and u tend to have stupidity and aggorant and do whatever you want even it is immoral. He making laws or pass the laws because we the people as respentative of the law wants him to pass the law, he is just citizen of USA and listen his people. Look at Sholomo Hamelech with his more than 18 wives and more horses than he should. Look at David, he took Batsheva in wrong way. And so on, i think people shouldn't judge him unless they are in his shoes. If you really strongly think that he should resign bec he did disgusting then I think you should running in political power if you think you could better than him. Look, of course he did wrong but it is private matter as he said, he apologized in public which is very hard for him. But for public matter, i really don't care, he is just another tool in political power.

  12. This is beyond silly.... Yes, our politicians should ideally be people of some moral stature, at least decent, but it's a known fact that you can't expect people in positions of power to exactly be sane about this... Being in positions of power does something to people.... I mean, it even messed the women up. I read about a hundred pages of Catherine the Great's biographyand was flipping! I do think thought that once you're involved in this anfd exposed publically, you probably should make some sort of public statement becasue the public does look up to you in some way... Whether I think it is ethically correct for the emdia to expoze this is a differnet matter. I believe it'ssilly to oust someone based on your opinions of his private life if he'es doingna good job in his position, which is a separate matter completely about which I know nothing....
