1. I know. What a disappointment.
We're looking at the reason why younger people no longer give a shit about politics here.

3. It's called hypocrisy
Republicans are especially vulnerable because so many of them are so judgmental, but Dems get caught too.

4. Was Spitzer a sexual hypocrite? I know he was against corporate
corruption.

5. here you go
Spitzer gained national attention when he served as attorney general with his relentless pursuit of Wall Street wrongdoing. As attorney general, he also had prosecuted at least two prostitution rings as head of the state's organized crime task force.

In one such case in 2004, Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.

"This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multitiered management structure," Spitzer said at the time. "It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring."
