Spitzer announcement scheduled for 2:15. He must be making it right now.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Like most if not all prominent New York Democrats, Spitzer has been supporting Hillary Clinton's campaign.

You know, when I first heard about this I was of the opinion that it's another bullshit victimless crime, but then it dawned on me...this slime is a lawyer. Not only that, but he's a lawyer who made a name for himself causing other people to hire lawyers for the same thing. After that I was all ahahahahahahahahaha!
Married father of three, huh? Not for long! Welcome to the receiving end of the divorce industry, you fuck!

He finally pissed off the wrong people. All the bid wig CEO's and such, are laughing their ass's off. Somebody called in their favors, and shook the skeletons out of his closet.

If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled into a false security (April 1968).---Ezra Taft Benson, US Secretary of Agriculture 1953-1961 under Eisenhower
The question would be of course is: What action pissed them off enough to where he had to be taken down?
I think you are right that there is a reason the question is what is the reason?

Federal investigators apparently intercepted the guy's instant messages. And now a U.S. Attorney is starting to prosecute people involved in the ring.
Remind you of any federal programs in the news of late?

But what do his wife and three children think about it?

How in the hell long are text messages archived and by whom I wonder.
I saw some article a week or so ago about some sort of device that can read a cell phone's archived text messages, including deleted ones. This is at the user level; so if you want to see if your spouse or girlfriend is messing around have at it.
I have no doubt the goobermint vacuums up all text messages somewhere in their massive databases.
You would think, given his history, that the man would simply know better. I'm amazed that he allowed himself to do something so completely boneheaded.

Spitzer is identified as "Client 9" which makes me wonder exactly how many rich and powerful other got themselves caught in this. Could be a lot of people sweating bullets tonight. It they got Spitzer, who else is going to fall?
If nobody else falls, that would suggest Spitzer was being targeted.

Wonder, too, if this was a continuation of some of the leads the feebers found when they learned that vitters, et al, were messin round.......gotta spread the love, ya know....or should I say, the feebers are equal opportunity hooker hookers?

The NY media is reporting that they caught him on a federal wire tap over the course of the last two months. It's also being reported that he has been indicted.

Lucky for the Clintons that they are part of the NWO globalization two family ruling cartel that just keeps passing the presidency back and forth. Can you imagine the dirt the government has on Billy Bob. Obama better be squeaky clean.

Isn't he the guy that plays with the Eagles? Or am I screwed up as usual? I should be allowed a bit of a leeway here--after all, it has only been the last couple of years I've discovered the likes of The Eagles, Van Morrison, Three Dog Night, The Allman Brothers, Wet Willie, and a few others.
My daughter was cracking up at me when I was breathlessly telling her about this fantastic song by a guy named Van Morrison--that's when I found out that I was new to the music world, and not the other way around! :(

Leeway is busy at my place. ;) I think the music guys have been trying to tell us 'things' for a while. A looooong while.

LOLOL! I think it depends a lot on when your 'checking in'. You can hear it for years and think, nice tune, good beat, I give it an 85. And years later, one says, ohhhhhh THAT'S what they were saying??????????

Spitzer apologizes after report of link to prostitution ring
"I didn't mean any harm," the governor said, "It's just that I'm a very busy man and if I wanna make love to a wife or a girlfriend I have to tell 'em I love 'em and shit like that~"
If I ever have a son, I'm gonna name him Creepy Creedy!

More often than not these politicians' Stepford Wives have made peace with their hubbies' frisky ways as a trade off for the lifestyles to which they are accustomed.
So, he does his thing and she takes tennis lessons from that handsome brute at the club, and everybody's happy.....

Let's hope he paid. If the Gambinos were giving him a free favor, that would really magnify the scandal.

When Dirty Laundry hit the airwaves I was living in Los Angeles and the only "bubble headed bleach blonde" that came on a five was Christine Lund and, we were pretty sure that she was the inspiration for the verse.
I guess she decided to get away from it all because now she's the only year round resident of Baranof Warm Springs, Alaska where she runs the general store.

THAT is a fascinating piece of info! Thanks for the WIKI link. His reference was QUITE specific wasn't it?? Ha!
As for bubble headed bleach blondes, it's not quite the geographical oddity as some might believe. ;)
I believe as long as there is a way to squirrel away a coin or two from the grocery money; and peroxide is sold at 'the' Rexall, the look will live on and on.

As the time for the appointment neared, the cash still hadnt arrived. But the Emerald Clubs operators noted that the governor had some credit in his account: $400. Now, that would buy you a real good time in our neighborhood, but Eliot was looking for the royal treatment, and it was going to cost him $2,600.
Hey, why dont you hit the ATM, Spitzer was told, and not only pull out enough to cover Kristens $2,600, but give her an additional $1,500 so that hed have some cash on the books and this wouldnt happen next time.
Sheesh, he was a governor, after all.
Eventually, Eliots total for the night came to $2,721.41 (Huh? Sales tax? Extras?), and he generously turned over $4,300, which put him in good stead for his next time.
So does that mean he has a refund coming?
