Not enough know as yet. Saw him on MSNBC giving a 30 sec. statement that he was sorry and he had to make things right with his family and nothing more. Obviously, no questions.
Men should not be running prostitution rings... ever. I like the canadian system... as long as the woman is an independant contractor... she is good to go.
If he decides not to resign and a dialogue occurs on the subject of prostitution and how stupid the laws are related to prostitution then it could be a good thing since he is an otherwise good man. On the other hand, if he resigns prostitution could be perceived to be such a heinous crime that a governor could not govern because he was involved in such an act. Hopefully, he won’t resign and the news will assist in pointing out how archaic the laws against prostitution are. Let’s hope it’s the former and not the later.
The on-the-surface public opinion will never support any lawmakers who wish to decriminalize prostitution laws, even though beneath the surface there is a wink-wink, nod-nod understanding and at least semi-acceptance by many that this service is utilized by a high percentage of society. Changing the law just won't happen. Whether from the right or from the left, for the most part, the fine folks of the USA want "family values," even though it's been pointed out by many researchers that even the so-called RED states have equally high (and in some cases higher) rates of affairs and divorces as the so-called BLUE states.
The irony with this Spitzer revelation is that if he were a star of a TV sitcom, he would keep his job and his show would get even higher ratings. But we hold our politicians to a higher standard than almost anyone, a standard only a few humans could ever meet. But not only has Spitzer been exposed as a client of a service, they are showing him to be a hypocrit for the fact that Spitzer himself exposed and brought down an escort service in NYC back when he was Attorney General of New York.
David Vitter (R-LA) among other incidents, but since this time it's a Democrat, no doubt there will be countless calls for Spitzer to resign (Craig & Vitter never resigned)...
just too much water under this bridge (pardon the pun Sen. Kennedy). Perhaps on this issue the French have it correct... what a man (or more accurately in the current race) does with his or her sexual equipment is no ones bees wax.... ok!? we got that?
He announced his resignation, then changed his mind. Then changed it again with the slow and painful resignation of a thoudsand cuts by announcing he would not seek re-election.
Hey guys I am new to this board but does anyone know the provider that Spitzer hooked up with? The news says $4,500 for the night and her name was Kristin. Can't wait to hear what's up, he should have read TER for reviews!!
