Apparently not.

Seriously? Get a mint on the pillow or something?

Body sushi?

A tongue bath?

Seems you get to go "across state lines", whatever that means.

It better be anything the guy wants, as long as no bones are broken.

That's beyond third base, right?

Whatever. Spitzer "did it" in a way that made it a Federal offense. Let's think about how dumb he was to have it play out like that.

Somehow this is how I imagine all democrats: shady looking, bald, frequenter of whore houses because they can't get it up around their wives.

What a fertile internal life you lead.

Hmmm... I wonder how that's done. But for $5000 people will always find a way.

P.S.

"It's just mind-blowing that he spent $4,300 on a hooker. It just shows how high the cost of living is in New York. That same hooker would cost $50 in Newark."

"Let me ask you a question. Do you think it's too soon to be hitting on Mrs. Eliot Spitzer?"

Mr. Spitzer's admission that he was involved in a prostitution ring "means that Hillary Clinton is now only the second-angriest wife in the state of New York."

Mr. Spitzer was quoted as saying he had violated his obligation to his family and his sense of right and wrong. "Spitzer also admitted violating someone named Amber."

"You've got to say one thing about this. He's caught soliciting a hooker, but thank God, on the bright side, it did not involve an airport's men's room."

Top Eliot Spitzer excuse: "I thought Bill Clinton legalized this years ago."

What's interesting is this:

All bank transactions are tracked.

Common knowledge has been that only large transfers (the threshold is typically assumed to be $10K) are flagged and inspected, but that is apparently not true. Banks flag some small fraction of transactions internally, forward those to the IRS, which filters again, and only a few ever get really looked at in detail.

One thing that the monitoring software looks for is "bundling" of transactions, a set of smaller transactions all going from Point A to Point B, which is apparently the flag that Spitzer tripped.

Reportedly, "politically exposed persons" (PEPs), including all politicians with a national reputation, their wives, children, even brothers-in-law, get extra scrutiny.

Here's the point to which you must pay attention:

Attorney General Eliot Spitzer was a prime mover in the expansion of much of this monitoring power, and had used it in his prosecutions of organized crime.

So, not only is he hypocritical, but he also found himself on the wrong end of his own hunger for power.

Greek tragedies are only mildly more juicy. All he needs to do now is put out his eyes.

This post owes itself to Rod Van Meter who appears on a mailing list I read. His commentary, my repost.

How do you picture republicans...doing a foot tap dance in a airport male washroom stall?

At what point does all this become a massive fishing expedition and unreasonable search?

You haven't been paying attention to the news the last few years have you, about the sex scandals mostly involving Republicans.

Corrected. "All" doesn't work, because a lot of them do in fact have hair on their heads.
