Does it strike anyone as hypocritical that the girl and those connected to her are criminals and treated as such but the guy is treated more like a victim even though the criminal statute makes the customer as culpable as the prostitute? Some one goes to jail for 2 years for selling Spitzer the service he wanted but he walks free????Either make the whole thing legal or bring charges against Spitzer and company. It seems that the customer here is almost being treated like a victim which is absurd.
Spitzer was sponsoring a new bill that would make it a felony to solicit a prostitute. His reasoning is that by stopping the demand, he would eliminate the supply.
It appears that Spitzer was fighting the inner-battle that we all (most of us) face. “I want to do right, but doing wrong is much more fun”. “maybe if there is a consequence (law & punishment), then I would be scared into doing what is right”. – In some locals, the “Johns” names are published in the local paper as a deterrent. Public disgrace seems like a proper punishment, but it is likely that Spitzer will get some high paying job (without his name on the firm’s letterhead, or become the lawyer-celebrity that we see touted all over TV-land.
no he’s done… no high profile work. he might try the michael milkin thing and be a do gooder after a few years… but it won’t fly. nobody likes him. back door stuff with a pro for hire is pretty risky, this is just the tip of his problems personality wise. the wife’s gonna get her piece. i predict he’ll be a drunk and get fat.
My daughter must be a real schmuck. At 23 she was working with severely mentally disturbed young children who were hospitalized in order to be stablized with medication. Got paid about $18,000 a year to boot.
DEMAND CAUSES SUPPLY, SO “EASY ELIOT” GOES OFF INTO THE SUNSET?

right on, Adjuster. in my mind this is a victimless crime. but if Big Brother is going to charge the hooker, charge the john, too.
or better yet, go after some real bad guys.
but I am still happy to see Spitzer gone.

I guess he never thought he would geet caught.
