Maybe he was sorry for not getting the correct gal the other night? Or maybe the stock market performance? Or lets say he was still in deep sorrow over the 9/11 incident? Frankly speaking if he is real serious about apologizing he should at least show some sincerity.
In his career he fights prostitution, and tells people it is wrong... I guess it is wrong for everyone else and they should go to jail, but it's ok for him.
Spitzer has dug a big hole for himself. Anyone spending big cash on gambling and prostitution is bound to be doing something else. "Attorney General Eliot L. Spitzer last year continued to liquidate his personal assets to pay off campaign debts, selling more than $6 million worth of Manhattan real estate for that purpose, according to tax returns he made public today.

HAHAHA, when he was the AG of New York he made Financial companies pay billions because of the bad advise they gave clients, now the banks ratted him out, couldn't be any more funnier.
and 2 hours before Valentines Day for the married father of 3 daughters. Classy. It sounds like this ring routinely shipped girls across state lines for various johns, but who knows if the feds will decide to do anything. With the price involved the other 'clients' are likely well known. While Spitzer supposedly paid in cash, the ring was letting people wire money to a business as consulting fees. It will be interesting to see what companies were issued find that in the books.
because that's not a reason for you to not act in your best interest, which is to elect the most capable candidate regardless of wether he paid for some sex or not. You do realise everyone has some dirty secrets, right?
Maybe everyone has dirty secrets, but how sure are you that everyone does the best they can to make sure everyone else can't have these same dirty secrets. Your best interest may not be my best interest, I'm pretty sure I have enough sense to "elect" someone who doesn't thoroughly contradict themselves.
well, yeah, in this case I agree with you, the guy is a big hipocrite, but In most cases what people do in their private lifes should not matter when you're choosing who to vote for. I gave an example about Ron Paul earlier. What would you do in that situation?
Well, because Paul is for legalizing prostitution, he wouldn't necessarily be a hypocrite. But i would be pretty disgusted with him and reconsider putting my support behind him, being the representative for Libertarianism.
If you've been watching the news lately you're probably familiar with the NY Gov that got caught involved with the prostitution ring Emperor's Club VIP. Their website has been taken down but some sites saved pictures of the high dollar whores. I would slap myself if I was desperate enough to start paying for sex, let alone $5,000. Idiot.
One thing I have been thinking about throughout this whole torrid episode is this: Is a $5000 an hour whore ten times better than a $500 an hour whore??
Damn dude is there no excuse for anything that you will not defend?????? Can you seriously not find it in yourself to condemn this guy???
He is scum, but not because of the price of the hooker. That is irrelevant. Of course to you, that is the main issue. lol. And, by the way your facts are all wrong as usual. He used a substantially cheaper hooker around 1,000/hr. He was prepaying for the next tryst as well. The funny thing is that you ask the question and then go off on someone who dares answer your meaningless post. You really are a piece of work.
