Spitzer swallow

[dave123williams]

I quote the master, George Carlin:

"SELLING is legal. FUCKING is legal. So, why isn't selling fucking legal?"

Discuss.

1. It should be.. But when you are a prosecutor who has gone

after Prostitution rings in the past, well, it might have been just a bit hypocritical to get caught using one. Not to mention completely and utterly stupid.

[dave123williams]

2. point taken. I guess hypocrisy is the one great crime left in this country.

[uppityperson]

3. It should be. Between consenting adults.

Because then the "teehee" factor, the "OMG" factor, would go way down?

[frebrd]

4. It isn't legal because...

religion has an iron grip on this country.

:grr:

[JackintheGreen]

5. Fucking isn't always legal

even between two consenting adults. Sex toys are illegal in some states, sodomy in others. Hell, I probably fucked illegally this weekend, and I'm married.

[dave123williams]

10. LOL. That's funny :)

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

13. "Hell, I probably fucked illegally this weekend, and I'm married."

Does your wife know about this? :evilgrin:

[Prefer]

6. Because it involved predation

the pimp preys on the weak will of his victim who he turns out into earners.

[Thepricebreaker]

7. Because its not... plain and simple..

[Occam Bandage]

8. You aren't generally allowed to break laws just because you think they're dumb.

That goes double for those who built a career on enforcing those particular laws.

[dave123williams]

9. Oh, please. Remember you said that the next time you jaywalk.

[LanternWaste]

16. Not too many people are faced with the possibility of impeachment for jaywalking

Not too many people are faced with the possibility of impeachment for jaywalking; nor are there many people of whom it could be said 'broke the public trust' by jaywalking.

[Canuckistanian]

11. So, is he being CHARGED for breaking said laws?

Technically, the hooker and her pimp/madame are the ones breaking the laws.

Are there any chances Spitzer will be charged with any crimes at all?

Of course not.

Just the association with a crime is enough to get him kicked out, apparently.

[dave123williams]

12. Uh, wrong. He transported a hooker across state lines.

It will be very difficult for them to *not* prosecute.

The appearance of impropriety should, hell, for my money it *is* unacceptable in elected officials.

Haven't you had enough of corruption?

[Perry Logan]

14. If you can't smell a Republican hit in this, you're breathing through your mouth.

[dave123williams]

15. Dude, he admitted to it. IN A PRESS CONFERENCE.
