Prostitute for the Night $4300

$5,000 is a lot for prostitutes. However being shamed on The Smoking Gun on criminal indictment is for a lifetime, with not price.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

One of the local radio talk show hosts in Albany ssaid it was $6500.

People who adamently say they are not going to resign, usually end up resigning. I am not surprised by Spitzer.

Greta Van Sustern, and Judge Andrew Napolitano, were both speculating that what was going on in between his press conference and what could be happening soon is that he's cutting a deal with Federal prosecutors to resign in exchange for not being prosecuted for the wire transfers.  Also, it is reported that he needed to be reminded of just who "Kristen" was, and that he had money "on account," which means that he had done this before.

Elliot Spitzer made lots of enemies and you would think he would be more careful about it.

Well, at least he didn't come out and say he was gay. Although that would have been quite hilarious.

Seriously, though, I heard the audio, then I saw a repeat of the presser. Mrs. Spitzer looked like hell. After what he pulled, I think that whole "rebuilding trust" issue is moot. If I did that to my wife, there'd be just a spokesman with her, and the only thing that would remain of me would be my balls.

What an ass, especially since Spitzer made it a point to praise himself for taking down prostitution rings while he was DA/AG. Yet that side of the aisle has the audacity to crucify a conservative or center-right person over the same issue. I hope he resigns, because with the whole laundering issue, that's a sure ticket to Federal Pound-me-in-the-ass prison, and I don't think having the state legislature going through an impeachment process is going to make things any easier.

I don't get it either. He busted up prostitution rings. He had a lot of enemies. Oh and welcome to CC. Bugs Bunny sucks.

Spitzer is rich and like many politicians he thinks he is above the law and thinks he can get away with anything. He is a sick SOB to haul his wife up on that platfrom.

Bragging about busting people for the very same thing he's doing and thinking he won't get cuaght seems to fit his personality.

One of the accountants down at work is married to the "press secretary" for Spitzer.  He just told me that he wasn't sure that he'd see his wife last night, from all of the calls coming in.  He confirms that Spitzer is unbelievably arrogant.  So, then, one could conclude that this couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

He is rich and probably has numerous checking & savings accounts, hedge fund accounts, money market, stock, CD's, etc. However, if he was dipping into the public till or taking payoffs, he is in big trouble. If that is the case, he will be looking at hard time behind bars.

The amount the AP claimed is $80,000.  That's a lot, even on a Governor's salary.

"Client 9" T-shirts hit the Web

Tue Mar 11, 2:59 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Who really is "Client 9?"


The New York Times says it's the code name for New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer in court papers that link him to a prostitution ring, but now anyone can be "Client 9" with T-shirts available online just a day after the scandal broke.

From simply "Client 9" with a large lipstick smooch over the top to "Just Call Me CLIENT 9," designers on Web sites like www.cafepress.com and www.zazzle.com are cashing in on reports that Spitzer had hired a high-priced prostitute.

"Look like a governor in this stylish CLIENT 9 design," one designer advertises on www.cafepress.com.

The two online retail sites allow designers to upload their own graphics to print on products such as T-shirts and mugs.

From what I heard Sheldon Silver (the Dem Speaker of the Assembly of NY) say this morning, impeachment isn't going to happen . . . unless the 66% of NYers surveyed by Marist College call their Assemblymen and demand it.

According to a radio report this morning, 70% of the public believe he should resign, and 66% are in favor of impeachment.  The reporter did not quote the source of the poll, but I found a story here:

yeah, I think the after effects will be far more interesting.

according to Piro, on FOX, Spitzer has 'the best lawyer' on the planet now, so she is inferring that Spitzer is going to be facing federal charges that are pretty serious.

as for his wife, it was reported that she didnt want him to resign and as a lawyer herself and married to such an arrogant, aggressive guy... maybe she's that aggressive and arrogant herself?

No doubt the headlines are far from over. I also have no doubt that the coverage downright ugly in it's one-sidedness. It's particularly sad to me as this guy was an immoral creep long before he got into his current mess.  :banghead:
