What's the prostitute look like?

Plus it seems like what he's actually getting nabbed on is "structuring" -- trying to hide where money was going and why.

80,000 dollars eh?

im in the wrong damn business..

A rare event. I partially agree with CR.

I'm a bit concerned about the Big Brother aspect of how this was discovered. His 'cash' habits (withdrawing cash from his personal bank accounts) triggered the investigation. CNN did a piece this morning on federal laws requiring financial institution to perform routine searches on All Of Us to determine if we are making unusual financial transactions involving cash. Unusual is apparently defined as atypical to the individual -- and it's all 'because of 9/11 and the way life has to be in these times'. um.... this sorta pisses me off.

Really? You don't think that Mullah Ayatollah of the Chicago fundamentalist anti-American mosque ( a made up name to be used as an example) who suddenly starts moving $1000 a month to offshore accounts should be noticed?

Leaving aside the ethical and legal issues--and the very real pain that Spitzer has caused his wife and daughters (by his indicating to the former that he considers her inadequate, and by showing the latter that he considers women a commodity), what bothers me most about the governor is his arrogance and great stupidity.

Arrogance in that he is entitled to act like this and in that he couldn't be caught. Stupidity in that escort services are notoriously dangerous. As a retired sex worker writes in a NYT OpEd this morning, no real players go anywhere near an escort service. If they want to cheat on their spouses, they take the private recommendations of their friends; the women they deal with are listed nowhere and have private numbers.

Arrogance and stupidity is a combination that I have seen in politicians before--and currently. But most arrogant politicians have some smarts--in the street-sense area. Spitzer flunks even the street-sense test. I wouldn't want someone this profoundly dumb being governor of my state.

And, of course, I could never forgive him for the heavy, bad number he's done on his wife and daughters.

I don't care that he had sex with hookers, I just don't want someone that stupid running the state government.

I don't think he's dumb, arrogant maybe. Maybe he wanted to get caught.
