March 11, 200818 yr From what I have read in the blogs, the "Democrat" reference was originally in the third paragraph of the AP story, it was removed in a subsequent version, and reappeared in a later edition. I agree with you about Spitzer's daughters. The media needs to keep them out of the coverage of this scandal. On the first, I must have caught it and read it in the middle. As I read it 3 times to make sure I wasn't overlooking it before I posted it. On the latter, please email CNN to voice that opinion.

March 11, 200818 yr Done. Thanks. As I put in my email, kids can be very vicious at that age and there is no reason to put their faces on a national newscast about this.
March 11, 200818 yr Elliot Spitzer is not a nice guy. I was being sarcastic. It should now be obvious to all by now what a hypocritical jerk Time Magazine's former "Crusader of the Year" really is. I wonder how many Johns and prostitutes Spitzer sent to jail to claw his way into the New York Governor's mansion. Hard to sense sarcasm when it's just words. Maybe I should have looked at who was posting it. :lol: See how I add the smiley to indicate that I'm just kidding around?
March 11, 200818 yr If he is charged, maybe he can hire the same attorney that represented Bob Allen, Robert Bauman, Ken Calvert or Mark Foley. Let's not even go there. :thumb: :thumb:
March 11, 200818 yr Has it occurred to anybody else what a gift this story is to Obama's campaign. The story: diverts attention away from the corruption trial of Obama's friend Tony Resko; reminds voters that Spitzer has endorsed Hillary Clinton; and also reminds Democrats of Hillary's waffling on the driver licenses for illegal aliens, which was sparked by Spitzer's plan to begin issuing such licenses a couple of months ago. I would not want to be standing between Hillary Clinton and Eliot Spitzer the next time that they meet.:lol:

I don't normally use the rolling eyes icon. I try to either avoid sarcasm or make it heavy to the point that an icon would be overkill - but I will make an exception in this case.
March 11, 200818 yr One yahoo on CNN says this is a nonstory and it shouldn't be covered. Says we are the only country in the world that would cover this story. FIRST, I am proud, then that we are the only country that would think this is wrong. He implied this is a victimless crime and no way the governor in charge of enforcing the laws that he just broke should lose his job. I am sure that his wife and family do not think this is a victimless crime.

I am sure that his wife and family do not think this is a victimless crime. By saying victimless crime he means that it does not threaten the rights of others. :thumb: And I agree for the most part. He is helping put people in jail for doing the same things he was taking part in. If it were legal to solicit prostitution, then technically it wouldn't be a problem for him to do so. However, it is not legal and he is in fact breaking the law. Therefore, he should be punished just as any normal person would be.
March 11, 200818 yr With the subject of this story, there is a really bad joke in there somewhere. :lol: I think that I know who would come out on top in an encounter between Hillary and Eliot. I'll bet Bill is even more disappointed than Hillary with Spitzer's troubles. Imagine, we could have had Eliot as VP and Bill as First Man! It looks like DC's nighttime entertainment industry will be the big loser in this campaign.
March 11, 200818 yr So many jokes, so much $ to renew membership... You can PM the jokes to me, if it helps you get them out of your system.
