    Ah Schadenfreude!

    You guys are the biggest bunch of sanctimonious asses I've ever seen.

    Populist are popular because they do things for the common man. I don't know why you're all piling on with the fat cats on The Street. They aren't on your side.

    If it is legal, we can turn it into a regulated industry. So every john and hooker are subjected to regular health inspection.

    Isn't Spitzer a big Hillary supporter? I wonder if Hillary and Bill are involved -- especially since Hillary has her hands in everything (on everything? :D )

    Sorry, Hillary, send me Winslow's number and I will overlook this debacle. :D

    Moron. Hypocrite.

    But on the plus side, this is definitely a Dem sex scandal as there don't seem to be any gay guys or diapers involved...

    If Spitzer hadn't been so sanctimonious I wouldn't favor his resignation. It's not the prostitution; it's the hypocrisy.

    I'm calling for his resignation the same way I did with Vitter, Foley and Craig, because he is a hypocrite like they are -- practice what you preach, no matter which party you belong to or resign in shame.

    I wouldn't exactly use the term hypocrite, although of course a prosecutor is held to higher standards. but its not like the guy went after prostitutes in court.

    He went after prostitution. He also knows well that prostitution is tied into the mob, drugs and other corruption. And he has consistently (and self righteously) represented himself as squeaky clean law and order man. I wouldn't have any problem with that if he had actually been squeaky clean, but he wasn't. That's the problem with holding others to such high standards -- when you do that, those same standards have to apply to you as well.

    This is textbook hypocrisy.

    I'm embarrassed to say (being a NYer I should know these things), but what happens if he resigns?

    Special election or appointment?

    I find it ironic and funny that the same tactics he used against the music industry, wire taps, emails, surveilance is what ultimately caught him. Clearchannel and Universal Music must be popping champagne bottles right now.

    Paterson becomes gov, but not sure if he serves out the term, or if there's a SE in the fall.

    If New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is forced to step down over his involvement in the prostitution ring Emperor's Club VIP, Lieutenant Governor David Paterson is set to become the state's 59th Governor — and the first African American to hold that position. Who is the man who may become Governor?

    * David Paterson was born legally blind in Brooklyn in 1954 (Wikipedia)
    * BA from Columbia University, JD from Hofstra Law School (Wikipedia)
    * Former State Senator from New York's 30th District
    * First elected to represent Harlem in the New York State Senate in 1985 (Paterson for New York)
    * Elected Minority Leader of the New York State Senate in 2002, the first non-white legislative leader in New York's history (Paterson for New York)
    * Ran New York City Marathon in 1999 (NNDB)
    * Defended himself against bias claims last month after replacing white photographer with black photographer (New York Post)
    * Previously tussled with Spitzer over turf wars (New York Magazine)
    * Asked by the League of Women voters, "If elected, what are your qualifications to serve as Governor should you be called upon to do so during your term as Lt. Governor?" Paterson responded:

    Eliot Spitzer and I want to restore hope to New York. I'm running because the lessons I learned from my family, my hometown in Harlem and from working in Albany compelled me to try to address New York's critical problems. Together, we want to bring promise back to the state.

    I'm thinking he should've gone for Raquel over this Kristina/Christina.........Raquel presents a compelling value offering......7 diamond quality for the price of only 5...........but then again, could be that she doesn't swallow also :D
