So New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is facing an indictment for his patronage of a prostitute. Well no wonder he wanted to allow licenses for illegal immigrants. How else are they going to traffic in the sex slaves?
Gov. Eliot Spitzer, the crusading politician who built his career on rooting out corruption, apologized Monday after allegations surfaced that he paid thousands of dollars for a high-end call girl.
…
Spitzer had served two terms as attorney general where he pursued criminal and civil cases and cracked down on misconduct and conflicts of interests on Wall Street and in corporate America. He had previously been a prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, handling organized crime and white-collar crime cases.
Spitzer had been expected to testify to the state Public Integrity Commission he had created to answer for his role in the [plot to smear his Republican rival], in which his aides were accused of misusing state police to compile travel records to embarrass Senate Republican leader Joseph Bruno.
His cases as state attorney general included a few criminal prosecutions of prostitution rings and into tourism involving prostitutes.
Definitely sounds like a conflict of interest case. The key question is: Does this count as white collar, or blue collar, crime? Sex is physical labor, no?
My favorite parts of the above-excerpted article:
“I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself,” he said.
Uh, no. He failed to live up to the standard he expected of others. Clearly, he had no standards for himself.
The prostitute, described in the complaint as a “petite, pretty brunette, 5-feet-5 inches, and 105 pounds” met the client in Room 871 at about 10 p.m., according to the complaint.
His indignant wife could be heard saying, “She wasn’t even blond?! For this I lighten my hair?”
Spitzer told reporters at a hastily called news conference: “I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family.”
Uh no. He’s acted in a way that violates his obligations to the law. And to his preaching.
