Just last week, four arrests were made in connection to a high-profile prostitution ring involving big-dollar clients.
The Times reports that a source with knowledge of the governors role believes the governor is one of the men identified as clients in court papers in the prostitution ring.

Mr. Spitzer, a first-term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform and end the often seamy ways of Albany, is married with three children.
Bye-bye, guvnah! Take your anti-2A idiocy with you!

Buying or selling?
Heh.
It just exploded all over the networks, now.
Really, this is even more disgusting than a politician doing that. He was the Attorney General, and didn't bust a high-profile prostitution ring, he used it...and turned a blind eye to it. That's just as bad as a crooked cop, if not worse.
This is going to shake up a lot. He was a superdelegate, and a strong Clinton supporter.
I'm just glad he's out, he kept trying to push laws against people trying to legally obtain firearms.

The MSNBC story notes that patrons of the ring could rate the escorts and some of the highest-rated escorts charged up to $ 5,500 per hour.

Why do these wimps always drag their wives out? What did she do to merit the humiliation (besides marry a deceitful putz) ? Why can't they man up and face the music on their own? Larry Craig did the same thing.
I highly disagree. One more example of a society dishonest to the core. Spare me the tears and trod upon wife look. She should be standing next to him beaming. She owns his ass and she knows it and that is most likely what she is thinking. The only innocent victims, his (ugly) daughters, are about to get a life lesson in how to take a man to the cleaners. Or if she is really shrewd she'll stand by her man a la Hillary who is still collecting on Bill's debt. Spitzy doesn't have a great future though so it is probably splitsville.

In Spitzer's case, I have no idea why his wife was there. She was probably too stunned and embarassed and angry to be able to think straight. Someone guided her into the front of the press room and she went along without thinking.
Hillary? She knows darn well what she's doing. If she really wanted to win the nomination, she'd tell Bill to go get caught diddling some 19 year old with big floppy tits. Then Her Hillaryness could go out in front of all the cameras and do her poor-me-victim thing. She'd win the remaining states in a landslide.

You're right, Archie. After all, it was Clinton's private life when he was diddling interns in his office, so why isn't it for Spitzer?
I'll bet someone in the Democrat Party is after him, that's why he isn't getting a pass.

Well, let's see...
1. Prostitution is illegal.
2. Spitzer allegedly arranged for a pros to be delivered from NY to DC (what, our whores aren't good enough for him?). That is a violation of the Mann Act, which is a Federal beef.
3. Spitzer was allegedly caught on wiretaps arranging for prostitutes. That's conspiracy.
4. Spitzer made several very high profile prostitution cases when he was New York Attorney General. That's hypocrisy.
As for Clinton, had he just been diddling Monica in the Oval Office, that would be one thing.
But, in the course of another matter (Paula Jones' lawsuit, IIRC), Clinton was sworn before a grand jury and then LIED, under oath. That is perjury, and is a felony.
Oh, by the way, even the NY Times is abandoning Spitzer and calling him down with some very harsh language.

I think the NYT was the one that broke the story, ironically enough.
Even more ironic is one of the reporters grew up in the same neighborhood as Spitzer and their parents are/were friends.
