Elliot Spitzer has proven once and for all that there are an endless number of dolts on both sides of the aisle.
Is there anything more hypocritical than prosecuting prostitution rings, then getting caught up in the same scheme?
Some people are already excusing his actions, victimless crime and all that. But he is Governor of New York and a former Attorney General, and he happened to break several federal laws.

And then trying to launder money through a bank? Even Rights Boy knows not to move his vast wealth around the banks, because somebody’s going to notice.
Oh well, Spitzer will join a long list of mug shots of corrupt government officials. Maybe he can share a jail cell with Larry Craig, Brad Olson, Mona Cunningham, Brian Gilbert and Archie Brooks. Oh, yea, that’s right. Brian walked and Archie is on his way.
Aren't we supposed to hold government officials to a higher standard?

Yea, I know; Rights Boy must live in a dream world.

Are you ever right about Spitzer! He used so much indiscretion that it is embarrassing to even read about it. He’s too high up to serve time. They will find an excuse or loop hole to save his little Duffus neck.

Spitzer Resigns From Emperors VIP Club
Client Number Ten to Succeed New York Guv
Amid calls for him to resign, embattled New York Governor Eliot Spitzer held a hastily-scheduled press conference in Albany today.
"After much deliberation, I have decided to resign my membership in the Emperors VIP Club, effective immediately," Mr. Spitzer said. "I hope that in doing so, I will allow the healing to begin."
Mr. Spitzer expressed his regret over the recent sex scandal, telling reporters, "I have let down my fellow Emperors and VIPs, whose privacy has been unfortunately violated."
Under a transition plan worked out with the Emperors VIP Club, Customer Number Ten would immediately succeed Governor Spitzer and become Customer Number Nine.
Mr. Spitzer confirmed that he had already handed over his key to room number 871 in the Mayflower Hotel to his successor.
In a parting shot, Gov. Spitzer lashed out at the New York Post for serving up "an embarrassingly unimaginative headline" the morning after the sex
scandal broke.
"I gave you a juicy story like this, and the best you could come up with was 'Ho, No'?" the governor said.
