Where's Spitzer's Standing Ovation?
Vitter was not asked to resign. Instead, he got a standing ovation from the GOP.

Here, here Abby! I have been saying that on other sites on here. Vitter was given a pass by the GOP for his New Orleans hooker sexcapades..his wife Wendy once threatened to cut off his penis if he strayed...so far, she has not turned into Lorena Bobbitt.
And let us not forget David Vitter ran his campaign on a "family values" platform. Yet Vitter serves in the Senate, with not one Republican asking him to step aside.

NEW YORK GOVENOR SPITZER endorsed HILLARY CLINTON. With the PROBE into his bank-roll, FEC Reportin will show how the C-hound donated to Hillary Clinton's Campaign. Bill and Spitzer seem to have a lot in commen.

One SUPERDELEGATE for Hillary beats the dust.

Just goes to show that it is really about politics, not the offense. Vitter should receive the same judgment as Spitzer. Republicanists suck.

So Abby, what you're are saying is that 2 wrongs DO make a right.
Typical liberal.
David S.3:14PMMar 12th 2008
Really Tim? So what YOU are saying is you have one set of rules for Republicans, another for Democrats. In other words, it's OK when married Republican senators pay hookers for sex (which is illegal) but not Democrats.
Typical conservative.

Isn't it about time to make prostitution legal as in parts of Europe and stop all this nonsense.
Is it possible this man had to go "shopping" elsewhere because he wasout of luck at home?

Spitzer was a complete fraud. He used over the top methods bording on criminal intent to coerce defendants into entering legal settlements. When he became Governor he used the same tactics (trooper gate) and quickly alienated the legislators in his own party. So Eliot had no friends anywhere. Also I highly doubt he used his own money for these sexual trysts. I bet he used campaign funds. Further he was moving money around in an illegal way to conceal his criminal intent. Spitzer was so stupid that he violated several laws in an almost text book manner. Remember the stock exchange cheered when they heard the news about Spitzers problems. He deserves whatever comes down at this point. I would like to know why no one in the public knew what a scum bag Elito was. What kind of press is in NY? They obviously don't print the truth or Spitzer would not have won the governor position much less with the largest plurality in the history of New York state. He was a phony and not a very nice guy either. I don't know the senator from La but maybe he just paid the hooker with his own money. Makes a big difference.

What Is The "Big Deal" Anyway???
After all It's "JUST SEX" Isn't it?
Oh' that's right,Its "Illegal" right?
Kind of Like when an executive, (Or anyone in a supervisory position.),has sex with someone of lesser or No authority. Then it becomes a "Termination level event". Further, It may as well be deemed "Illegal" since you may not only have your position terminated, but you will leave yourself open for Private legal action as well.
Lets face it. Since the 60's, this nation has become more and more "promiscuous"!
When The "Leader" of this "The Greatest Nation the Earth has Ever Known",Gives us explanations (Excuses)such as: Oral Sex is "NOT" Sex!
And "It Depends on What Your Definition of "IS" is.
It pretty much spells out where the morality (Or lack of it.) meter reads.
Then,that "illustrious leader" subsequently Becomes only the 2nd President to be "Impeached" but "Refuses" to leave.(Or Lacks the sense of decency to do so!) Thereby threatening to heap more shame upon both his disgraced office and our nation.
However, after just a short while, you hear nothing more of it at all. Eventually, is term is up, they steal the furniture and leave.
So what is the point?
The "Point" is Just leave the "SEX" stories, scandals, escapades, extra maritial affairs and Whatever alone! We are "SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THEM!!!
I whish they would focus more on the "LOUSY JOB" they are all doing and "LESS" on the "WHO" they are doing!!!!!

Spitzer resigns--according to Politico.
(The dude beneath him will take his place...he also supports Hillary according to NY radio 1010 Wins.)
No big deal for Hillary.
BIG deal for Spitzer and his family.
What a sex addict: almost $80,000 on hookers. YUCK.
And why does everyone say that prostitution is the oldest profession?
Midwifery is the oldest profession, my dear souls.
Besides, this isn't a "liberal democrat" thing. You better recognize that it's a MALE thing that crosses any political party.
Check out your disgusting friend David Vitter.
