Scientific justification for a little “strange.” Love it.

I’m just glad that his last name is ‘Spitzer’ because that will lead to all kinds of amusing new slang.

Having sex with a high dollar prostitute = doin’ the Spitzer
Getting caught = Spitzered; as in - his wife totally Spitzered him when he got home with lipstick on his collar

He really would’ve just been better off having an affair. You pay for those, too...but in a whole different way.

It points out the fact that he did not pay for sex, he paid for the girl to go away afterward. 

I think this is a brilliant way of looking at things.

You’d be surprised how little googling the police do.  Jester and I went through a situation a few years ago where our music rehearsal studio was burglarized.  We knew who did it and we went online to print out some research on the guy, including a few aliases.  When we met with the detectives at the San Francisco Police Dept, they literally said “WOW!  This info is great!  You can get all this on the internet?” When we offered to show him how we did it, he had a hard time locating a computer in his department that was connected to the internet. When he finally found one, no one in the office knew the password to start up the computer.  At the main precinct of the SAN FRAN-FUCKING-CISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT!!!?!???  Don’t believe everything you see on CSI.

When I had my house broken into about ten years ago, we had to go downtown to get the police report for the insurance and such.  And they handed us this barely readable thing that was from the dot-matrix printer that has kind of paper with the holes on the side that you take off.  So all the people I knew had gotten new printers for their homes like three or four times since the dot-matrix thing was in use, but the police department still had the old equipment.

I hope that they have upgraded.

He was caught cheating on his wife, which in itself is not a crime…

I saw an episode of Law & Order SVU last wekk that would beg to differ.

There wasn’t enough evidence to hold a suspect on the crime...but he was also cheating on his wife....so they held him on Adultery ("it is still on the books").

I have to disagree. Spitzer isn’t good looking. And I’m outraged. Ok. Maybe “slightly disgusted” is a better term. My issue is that he was the ‘moral watchdog’. I HATE moral watchdogs that are giving in the ass to a high dollar call girl but slandering others who are giving it in the ass to a high dollar call girl.

Hello:
Thanks, but according to Othurme, it appears this website was successful for so long is they DON’T use google.  Maybe one of their kids googled it for them.

Gwen:
It proves you can justify ANYTHING you want with science.

Chick:
Good thinking, but I prefer the more disgusting options..."She was Spitzer’s whore, but she still swallowed.”

Mel:
I wish you could have the option of turning a bad date into a prostitute situation when things get really bad.  Not to pay for sex, but to be able to just stand up in the middle of dinner, hand the chick a couple of hundred bucks and make a clean get away.

Othurme:
How many times do I have to apologize for stealing all of your shit?!?
Also...I think they should officially change the name of San Francisco to the more appropriate, “San Fran-fucking-cisco”

Laughing:
Probably not, I have three old ink jet printers tucked away in my closet right now.  I should take them to the local police station.

Gatey:
If it’s on TV it must be true.  It would be too many people guilty of that to actually put into jail, so they would have to catch you mid-stroke with some “other woman” and write you an adultery ticket.

Liz:
You’re just mad because he called you out a few years ago for getting busted with that young, Asian man whore.
And again, thanks for taking that rap for me.

I love this idea.  I don’t know how many hours of my life I could’ve gotten back.

Killer!!! Greeting from your old home town. Long time, no shoot-the-shit! Uh, interesting blog ya got here, man.

About this Spitzer fella… he’s a dumbass, but as soon as I heard it involved a male politician and a female over the age of 18, I knew it couldn’t be a republican. If it were a republican, it would have involved young boys, toe-tapping in public bathrooms, meth-fueled gay prostitute sex, all while publicly preaching about family values. What all of these people want to try sexually is no business of mine, as long as it’s between consensual adults. I mean, really… who fucking cares?!?!

Why do people freak out about sex like it is a crime, but violence is ok? Where is the victim in this crime? And, why do the conservatives say he should resign, but when they get caught having sex with young men using taxpayer money to pay for it, they can keep their job and go to rehab and be forgiven by Jesus?

Now, I gotta constantly see this whore on tv, on the internet, I’m sure she will do a Playboy shoot, maybe a reality tv show, or hosting some dating show. I’m sick of it!

Sorry to rant… next time I will comment on your balls or something.

Holler at you later, my friend!

I DID enjoy that article, thanks.

Hooray for science!!

That’s why women don’t hire prostitutes. They have no problem getting the guy to leave afterward.
