So there I was, having a rather terrible day at work. The market is getting hammered AGAIN, oil prices are at completely irrational numbers, and it is cloudy outside. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, along comes the Eliot Spitzer story and all is good with the world again.
As anyone who works on Wall Street can tell you, this guy is a scumbag. He has always hid behind the "crusader" label and did it all for political gain. I have been trying to find my post from a year or two ago where I ripped into him about this, but just can't seem to find it. No matter...old "Client #9" showed his true colors today.
Finally...after all of the scandals involving Republicans like Larry Craig and Mark Foley, I get to see a Democrat fry a little bit! I did find it rather funny that the NBC Nightly News only spent 4 minutes on the story tonight...the same amount of time they spent on the Obama/Clinton race. I seem to remember at least half of the newscast devoted to Larry Craig when he got busted trying to get some action in the airport bathroom stall last year. I even saw old James Carville on CNN tonight defending Spitzer and saying how this wasn't a big deal. Keep diggin that hole, Jimmy...I will even hand you the shovel....

As for Larry "Wide Stance" Craig, he was a dumbass because he first pleaded guilty, then changed his mind and tried to pretend nothing happened. That was pretty ridiculous and more than a little bit sad. Give Spitzer a little credit for not dodging it.
None of that excuses hypocrisy, though. Fry away, sir. Spitzer brought it upon himself.

(this is all aside from my opinion that sex between consenting adults is not a crime, but that's a post for another day)
In principle, I agree with you on the "consenting adults" thing. But I would be willing to say that your wife (and mine) would disagree with this statement. Just an observation....
Heh.
