Eliot Spitzer, the beloved Democratic ex-governor of New York and our nation’s personal Batman in the fight against prostitution, will not be charged for his innocent role in repeatedly hiring expensive prostitutes to have sex with him all over the Eastern Seaboard, because now Democrats run the entire world and ain’t nobody ever going to jail again for simple gettin’ busy, heh heh.
Wait, who is this guy again? What did he do? Ah, yes, he was a terrible fraud. He thought he owned The Law, and New York, and everything in between. He went around bustin’ balls because he was the Pure Prince of Wall Street and the Worst Enemy that Corruption had even seen. But he also had a terrible weakness for two-whore-diamond hookers, procured through the very NYC escort agencies he loved shutting down. In other words: Asshole!
Anyway, no charges, honor among thieves, etc.
No Federal Charges Against Spitzer [NYT]
Somewhere, Bill Clinton is muttering about “timing”.
Excellent, now he can be AG in Obama’s cabinet (old and busted slogan: “Change We Can Believe In”; new hotness motto: “Nothing But Dicks and Assholes”)
As punishment, Spitzer should be stripped of his bank accounts and made to work for tips as a stripper at The Eagle.
Still not Palin.
NewSpence: Too light. He should be made a page to Senate Republicans.
He had to have been fined or something for the simple act of patronizing a prostitute, right? Did that already happen?
I can see that there may be no need for a further federal investigation or charges outside of the basic prostitution laws, but hopefully he at least faces those? And surely they’re still going after the prostitution ring, right?
If there’s one thing I’m thankful for this year, it’s that we never heard anything more about Ashley Alexandra Dupre’s music career. I was almost burned out on crimes against humanity.
HUBRIS!!!

He’ll get a show on HBO rating whores… call it the Five Whore Diamond Club.
There ought to be a law against that sort of thing.
grendel: I would totally watch that show
I guess it’s technically not prostitution if the client can’t get it up.
YIP YIP YIP
He should be thrown under the bus.
Not because of ethics or the law or any nonsense like that.
Because he was a holier-than-thou crusader who can’t appreciate the irony in all this.
Rodney Badger: Beautiful.
Hopefully, on January 20th, there will be whores for everyone in D.C.
I’ll bet his wife is disappointed.
Now give his dentures back to him!
Rodney Badger:
Thanks for that link
I just used it to apply to be head of the CIA. My second choice was Secretary of State.
Ah, yes. The Sampler.
With a mug like his no wonder they charged $5,000 an hour!
he got busted because he wouldn’t allow some big shot, wall street, inside man his “golden parachute.”
chascates: Indeed. Can you imagine?
Let this be a lesson to you all, always use your personal account for whores, never your expense account.
Rodney Badger: Yes, but Spitzer can help her get a job that she is qualified for.
I would’ve lost my job for a piece of that ass, too.
I mean seriously, did you see her? C’mon, give the brother a break.
illnoise: What he got busted for was taking too much cash out of the bank on one day to pay for his pleasure. If he had just gone to a cheaper whore he would still be governor today.
Now go back to work getting those licenses for us the undocumented, Mr. ex-Governor.
Everybody forgets, it wasn’t the whorin’ or the holier-than-thou-in’ that got his socks caught in a wringer — it was the whole “I know how to launder money because I’ve busted the mob for doin’ it” thing that caught the Feds’ attention.
(Another few days and I’ll have my terminal g’s back, I promise.)
Lets say we found someone who stopped serial killers,and saved 100’s of lives. Later, we found out that he liked to have sex with prostitutes. What would we do with such a person?
Lets say we found someone who stopped a nuke from going off in a major city, and then we found out that he liked to have sex with prostitutes.
Next, we find someone who kicks the crap out of the thieves who have been robbing us blind for the last 20 years….but, you got it…likes to pay, with his own cash, for sex with women…who want his cash, better known as….prostitutes.
Guess what…that last guy…Thats Elliot Spitzer. Yes, what he did was wrong…under the law. He also was kicking the crap out of people who put us in the mess we are in today, and would still be doing so if we did not derail him.
I do not care who Elliot has sex with. We, thats you and me, and the entire United States, needs this guy back, yesterday, kicking the crap out of people who are cheating us.
Like usual the “John” gets off with out charges and the woman doesn’t. This is the reason why Rhode Island doesn’t have prostitution laws. Back in 1980 5 prostitutes sued the state for selective enforcement and the state made prostitution legal indoors.
