    IIRC, I don't think any forms of prostitution are legal in Las Vegas and/or Clark County.

    Do y'all need a governor with no personal scandals? Texas has one we can send you. Good-looking guy, too.

    Prostitution isn't legal in Las Vegas...... You have to drive an hour or so away from Vegas.

    There's not a chick on this planet that I'd pay 5,500 to hit it.

    That's a drop in the bucket for whoremongers who would frequent that site.

    On a side note, I think the whole diamond rating system is hilarious. Is the first one free? How does a w**** aquire more diamonds? What's the methodology?

    I know. But they are right next door with legal prostitutes. It is the closest thing to a mixed legal/illegal prostitution 'market' that I can think of. If that doesn't work, there are legal brothels just outside of Reno.

    So the local news just said his last hookup was here in DC last month and they showed pictures of the Mayflower (a historic hotel owned by Hilton or Marriott...I forget). Ha, I was walking into that thing last month with my girl after we went clubbing...we just didn't know what it was and it was a nice building in the Dupont area...thought it might have been a condo building. That place is old school luxurious.

    Anyhow, isn't the high priced hooker services the ones that come with the most risk? Those are the ones the feds go after. Does anyone go after the common man services? I never hear about that stuff...maybe it just doesn't make the news. Dude made a huge mistake with that $5,500. Damn, those escorts must be filthy rich.

    his investigation and prosecution of Marsh Mclennan was kind of a publicity stunt. Don't get me wrong...there were some wrongdoings that he exposed and corrected, but every insurance broker minus Marsh, Aon, Willis and Gallagher still take contingency commissions

    If I ever get wealthy enough that $5,500 is like $5.50, I would. Well, I don't know if I would spend it on a hooker. I would spend on a reallly HOT regular chick to get laid. Yes sir!

    I was involved in that case and I can tell you that contingent commissions were just the tip of the iceberg. Bid rigging was where the action was. Also the discovery of the finite reinsurance concept (i.e. scam) was an outgrowth of this, and is why the Gen Re people just got taken down.

    At the end of the day, bunch of people ended up in jail - so I would call it more than just a publicity stunt.

    Live by the sword and die by the sword eh?

    Well I don't think this diminishes his accomplisments - but he was a foolish man especially knowing all the enemies he had created.

    So long.

    [rquoter]Succession in the New York State Constitution

    By Sewell Chan

    Joseph N. Mondello, the New York state Republican chairman, and James N. Tedisco, the leader of the Republican minority in the State Asssembly, have called for Gov. Eliot Spitzer to resign, following reports that the governor was caught on a wiretap arranging to meet with a high-priced prostitute at a Washington hotel last month. Several readers have also wondered what would happen if the governor were to leave office. So far the governor has not indicated his political intentions.

    Under the New York State Constitution, if the governor were to die or resigned or be removed from office, the lieutenant governor would take his or her place and serve out the remainder of the term. Mr. Spitzer’s term is set to expire at the end of 2010; if he were to resign, Lt. Gov. David A. Paterson, 53, a fellow Democrat, would take his place. If Mr. Paterson refused to serve as governor by himself resigning, the temporary president of the State Senate — currently Joseph L. Bruno, 78, the Republican majority leader — would act as governor until a special election to be held this November.

    The last governor of New York to resign from office was Nelson A. Rockefeller, a Republican, who stepped down in 1973 to devote himself to a policy group he had founded, the Commission on Critical Choices for Americans. Following the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon the following year, Mr. Rockefeller served as President Gerald R. Ford’s vice president from 1974 to 1977.


    The only New York governor to lose his office in a scandal was William Sulzer, a Democrat, who was impeached and removed from his post in 1913 in a scandal over campaign contribution fraud.

    Several other governors of New York have resigned: Daniel D. Tompkins in 1817, to become vice president; Martin Van Buren in 1829 to become secretary of state; Grover Cleveland in 1885 to become president; Charles Evans Hughes in 1910 to become an associate justice of the United State Supreme Court; and Herbert H. Lehman in 1942 to direct foreign relief operations for the State Department during World War II.
