There are no clean getaways

From those to whom much is given, much is expected. I expected a lot from those $4300 an hour hookers... and got more than I bargained for.

I, for one, am heartened by the increasing milk production.

I guess Silda was the one most adamant about him NOT resigning. Now he's taken away any reason for her to stay with him.

I'm resigning to spend more time with my family, by which I mean the trains full of sluts I ship down to DC.

She's totally thinking, "This could have been avoided if only I had given him anal."

I get such a kick out of hearing "my private failings." Dude, everyone on face of the planet with intertube access knows you like to have unprotected sex with hookers.

As a Nexus-6, she may be powering down for good. They tried EMS recombination, with ethyl methane sulfonate as an alkylating agent, a potent mutagen. It created a virus so lethal that the subject was dead before he left the table.

What a fucking loser this guy is. Hasn't he heard of the Larry Craig-David Vitter "Wait it out and eventually everyone forgets" plan?

Silda. What kind of name is that? Lot of gals at Harvard Law named Silda?

Help me here, I'm not a bigot from the Northeast, didn't attend an Ivy League school, and so I'm a little slow on the draw.

I wonder if she'll demand $4300 an hour in alimony?

It almost looks like he is smirking half the time, like he is just going to bust any moment "That hooker was worth the 5k folks."

If there is any solution to global warming, it might be the stare of the political wife exemplified by the soon to be ex Mrs Spitzer.

@brokeback_romney: Rudi already said New Yorkers would never forget. This too.

@Serolf Divad: DING DING DING! We have a winner! :)

Silda, drop that zero and get yourself a hero!

I was wondering why she was there, but her presence did increase his dickishness and douche-bag factor.

I wonder if she'll get Alan Dershowitz to represent her in the divorce.

I think the single flag lapel pin is a sign to "Kristen" that she only gets rated one whore diamond.

According to wikipedia, "Silda is an inhabited island located between Vågsøy og Osmundsvåg in Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. It is the site of the 1810 Battle of Silda."

Thus, the sunny and warm vibe.

Did he say, "the chance to leave the state"?

I gotta love the way he frames this: Because I have such high moral standards, I am resigning.

Cripes, I feel sorry for her. She looks like she has been vomiting for twelve hours.

The American flag lapel pin Spitster is wearing gives his farewell that needed patriotic touch.
Meanwhile, the phallic Spitzer Space Telescope has begun to crash from orbit. [www.spitzer.caltech.edu]

(Hi Everyone! I'm Weazel's monthly $4200 hooker, emailing you from his login. He's passed out again. as usual, after 2 minutes, and I thought I'd have some fun. What do you think - put a loaded mouse-trap in his pants pockets ,or write something on his face? I was thinking "John Adam's balls were here!")

Seriously, though, there's really no comparison between Spitzer and McGreevy. McGreevy at least had the "I've been living a lie--I'm gay!" thing to go on, whereas Spitzer's "I've been living a lie by sleeping with hookers for the past 6 years" seems much less forgivable.

I can't see any way that she doesn't leave him--I mean, SIX YEARS? That's a lot of hookers! I could see perhaps if it was a one-time thing and he was on the road and going through a lot of shit, and dialed an escort service in a moment of weakness, but, Jesus, 6 years. I don't know anyone in the world who could forgive that in a spouse.

@weazel: You're still charging him for full hour, right ?

@Dave J.:

At least he was committed to SOMEthing.

@sluggo: He has patriotically left pubic service. Something like that.

Good luck to you Silda. I hope the next vagina he gets is saggy and full of worms.

Weazel's hooker: Look in the third drawer, there should be some weed. Come to my place and let's split it.

@StoneSoup: Apparently, "Silda" is short for "Serilda," which means "Teutonic war maiden."

I was going to make a joke here, but why bother?

@weazel: Hi, Weazel's $4200 hooker. Listen, if you took your payment in the form of a personal check, I've got some bad news for you...

He's almost bragging about it...
as sleazy as he is, jealousy pervades me.

@CthulhuForPresident: anal, shaving her pussy, and swallowing...the fundamental are there...she is actually quite a MILF

She looks like they seriously need to up the dosage.

That poor woman. I wonder what force on earth could have possibly moved her to appear on camera?

I'm betting Spitzer's weiner is going to be very lonely for a looooong time.

Big, big mistake. He should have hung in there and launched a new campaign as champion of legalized prostitution.

@The_Old_Ennui: Exactly:

"I have insisted, I believe correctly, that people, regardless of their position or power, take responsibility for their conduct, I can and will ask no less of myself."

-- now that I've been caught.

My flu-rattled brain is confused. I need guidelines for when and when not to resign.

Suggestive e-mails to underage pages: resign. Sex with a prostitute while wearing diapers: don't resign. Soliciting a blow job in a men's public restroom: don't resign. Sex with a high-priced call girl: resign?

Does it have to do with the level of office? Political party? Help me here, people.

no excusing spitzer but we just lost a good guy. he, along with mario cuomo are the only two working to resolve the loss of community bond insurance due to the collapse of the credit system. wonky, but that's why spitzer was so important, no one else cares or works for this. he's doing what bernake should be doing.
anyway, whoring bald bastard is going to hell for this.

johnny zhivago's cat: and why not? no less than ed koch said last night on larry king that prostitution shouldn't be illegal. of course, he probably meant gay prostitution...

The delay in resigning was to work out a bargain....my guess:

Spitzer resigns....Hillary wins the presidency....and Governor Patterson appoints Silda as Senator to fill the "badly treated by her stupid husband" seat.

Spitzer resigns, and his former Wall Street jurisdiction responds with the greatest celebratory rally in 5 years.

Silda would be governor by now if she'd just done the right thing and had him bumped off.

Now even Kristen won't have him.

Did anyone else see her raise her eyebrows (the old "Oh yeah, I'm so fucking sure" look) when he talked about her love for him? Watch it and see.

"And since I'm still in power until Monday, I am introducing legislation, which I'd like to see passed quickly, which would cap hooker fees at $1,000/hr. Inflation must be stopped!"

@burford: Nice! I like it!

Am I the only one getting a little tired of Silda's Devastation Face?

Sure hubby raided the retirement account for over-priced hussies. But not all girls get in to Harvard!

@Truculent:
No - girls will be throwin' it at him now. He's rich, now famous for being a "bad boy", and probably going to be single soon. Welcome to another edition of "Life is Not Fair".

Didn't it look like when he was going on about the rising-again-every-time-we-fall bullshit that she had a particularly hurt and incredulous expression on her face? As in, "Motherfucker, when I'm through with you, you will not be rising again."

Silda was there to represent polite society, glowering down on anyone who seeks out non-traditional sex practices. In a sense, she's The Man. Hell, for all we know she's like "fine...hookers, whatever."

I have to ask myself if my husband had to go on national teevee and disclose this kind of information, would I stand there beside him? The answer is hell yeah, with a string bikini on while eat a Marble Slab ice cream cone. Lasciviously. Talk about embarrassing!

@catmybunny: Perhaps so. Maybe his Type-A boner can overcome the largest dose of Jewish guilt ever dumped on one man at one time.

And to think, for two thousand pounds he could have fucked Heather Mills when she had two good legs. And maybe gotten Paul Mc to play bass!

Spitzer's a scum-bag and Paul Krugman should have been there so Silda's icy glare of death could rid us of his stupidity.

Maybe he can find a little leprechaun hooker to celebrate his first day of unemployment. He'll need one that's rated five whore shamrocks, and he can pay in pots of gold.

Poor Silda. The Most Holy Slapathon for her is The Eliot requested ONLY 5 Diamond Whores who were also illiterate.

OK, has anyone else noticed how the new pic of Youmans Dupre (quick, someone, a witty play on "You, Me and Dupree," please) looks like a younger, hotter version of Mrs. Spitz? First McCain, now Spitz. Don't these men get the point of getting some strange.

@StoneSoup: You are HILARIOUS. No shit. Silda might be short for something, like, uh, BeSilda...you know, like BeLinda? Good question, tho.

Hey, did anyone get the recon on how many diamonds Kristen gave Elliot?
