Which makes me suspect there are going to be a lot more of these kinds of revelations in future months.

1. Yep. You said it. And the Feds know.
Why was Rockefeller (along with other turncoats) fighting so hard for FISA & telecom immunity?

3. What really gets me is that Spitzer fought for it as AG.

9. It's getting to the point where no one is honest; no one has integrity.
I'm reading some of the posts here today and I'm stunned. When did we go from marriage is an institution that should be respected to "well maybe the man had needs" "it was only a prostitute" "she wasn't a slave?"

I feel like I'm in a bizarro world. There's a breach of trust here and we're making hypocrites out of ourselves.

I don't put blackmail past the Nixonian thugs currently in the WH. However, how many times are we going to put ourselves in the position of handling over the ammunition used to shoot ourselves?

4. "Spitzer is the last guy I would have thought would be caught pussyfooting around with pros"
I seriously don't know about that! There was/is something about him; ie: Arrogance that just made him stand out in the crowd... Sorry to say, but I really have had trouble in making this guy out as a true Democrat, mostly because of his arrogance....

10. lol
i didn't realize arrogance and being a democrat were mutually exclusive.

are you serious?

i never liked spitzer because he's a crusading jerk.

but i don't think any party is more prone to arrogance, jerkiness, etc. it's the ideas that differ. arrogant politicians are a dime a dozen in any political party. it's de rigeur.

it's rare to find any politician at that level who isn't arrogant, conceited, etc. few people are even going to seek office, let alone be successful without a healthy dose of self-love, self-importance, and arrogance. some, otoh, hide it better than others.

wall street has sort of a love/hate with spitzer. i feel the same way.

i do NOT like to see him going through this, though. i wish the guy no ill will, but it's pretty clear he brought this on himself.


i also, unlike spitzer, don't think prostitution should even be illegal.

15. In my minds eye... Yes, I do distinguish with respect to arrogance...
Sorry to tell you but there are many people/Democrats out there that do not survive on being arrogant... I hold true to that and hope that this country does a turn around away from that.

17. right
like i said, i've seen no evidence that any political party holds the monopoly on arrogance.

i like dems because they have better ideas. i'm not naive enough to believe (and i've seen plenty of evidence to the contrary), that dems are any less arrogant.

people are people.

12. It's alway the "holier than thou" folks
who get caught doing exactly what they are moralizing against.
I guess it's human.
