People here have compared what he did to other politicians did (Clinton, Craig, ...) Thats an unfair comparison, a far better comparison is *this*

"An alleged sex party occurred on October 6, 2005 on Lake Minnetonka when seventeen key members of the Minnesota Vikings football team, including quarterback Daunte Culpepper, Fred Smoot, Mewelde Moore, Pat Williams, Bryant McKinnie, Nate Burleson, Ralph Brown, Troy Williamson, Travis Taylor, Kevin Williams, Jermaine Wiggins, Lance Johnstone, Moe Williams, Ken Irvin, Willie Offord and Koren Robinson. Two boats were rented and some, but not all of the players performed sexual acts in front of crew members. Prostitutes from Atlanta and Florida were flown in for the party, in order to perform the sex acts. There were apparently ninety people on the two boats. An anonymous former player of the Minnesota Vikings claimed that this is not the first time that such an incident had happened. The scandal has sometimes been referred to as the Love Boat scandal or as the Smoot Boat Scandal in the news, after the television program."

Now what these guys did was worse as there were, If I remember correctly, minors present (17yo).

While I hold my Governors to a higher standard than athletes in terms of fireable offenses I do not for crimininal offenses. Clearly he broke the law but how much time did the vikings players do?

1. I don't agree with you but, that's probably what his lawyers are working on. n/t

2. No he should not. Not yet, anyway. He needs to use that offer of resignation as a

bargaining chip to stay the fuck out of jail. Because the GOP IS after the guy, and the attorney general of the United States was the one who APPROVED that wiretap.

Apparently, there are a lot of "smart people" who graduate from Harvard Law who are fucking idiots. Alberto Gonzales is another fool with a degree from that outfit.

Amazing, with such a small graduating class, that they can pump out more than their share of hubris-laden fools.

3. None?

This is more scandal and embarrassment than some sort of serious wrongdoing. It is amazing that people still get all in an uproar over other people having sex.

4. Why? Unlike Bill, at least he paid for the 'service.'

He's lost his squeeky-clean image. That's enough. And it's probably good for him, and certainly for us, that the blinders have been taken from our eyes.

5. Which is what made it illegal!

Spitzer went after prostitution all the time his job is to enforce the law..

Clinton's transgression was not illegal (which is what made impeachment such a joke) Spritzers was illegal..
