Hobbies - Tennis, squash, jogs each morning around Central Park
ooops......I think they missed one hobby. he apparently had................. maybe he just told his wife and daughters he was 'jogging'...? If a guy can make this horrible a mistake, this terrible lapse in judgment, what really rotten things might he have done for his STATE?
Oh, that's right. Drivers Licenses for illegals.
And his situation today is so ugly, but would you believe I still kind of feel sorry for the guy?
I don't want to do tabloid stuff here at geeeeZ!, and this reeks of it...but, really, it's about judgment. Well, aren't all these scandals about bad judgment, really?

much as i hate to admit it - conservatives NEEDED a new face of hypocrisy as there've been FAR too many "conservatives" busted for sex crimes of late.
i feel for his wife and children - how AWFUL!
what you both said
...nope, business trip to DC.
I had the same thought...."he isn't a REPUBLICAN is he!?"
well, for a change.........!! and yes, his poor wife and 3 girls.
All I can say is, "Boys will be boys."
Too bad the prostitutes are no longer the least bit ashamed of what they do. Another plaudit goes to Cultural Marxism for that.
NO ONE is safe from exposure because of this shamelessness on the part of professional hussies.
"Spit" is a D'Rat, so it will probably only serve to make him all the more popular with his "natural" constituency–––the party of beggars, thieves, fools, feebs and perverts.
I am sorry that his wife and children have to be embarrassed this way, but they too are Democrats, aren't they? So, like Chelsea Clinton, they've probably been enured to this kind of thing since infancy.
The most "awful" thing about this to the Spitzer family may be the loss of prestige and credibility for the arrogantly self-righteous, war-whooping Spit.
If he were a Republican, he'd resign immediately, but he's a D'RAT, and will, therefore, get away with it without so much as a slap on the wrist.

no - he's a democrat, but they constantly bring up larry craig and others when one of their own are busted - all i meant is there needs to be a NEW poster boy for kinky sex...my terrible...
farmer - those d.c. "business" trips are awfully spendy!
Man, FJ and nanc..that DC link makes me feel like I need a shower...did you scroll down?
A friend just emailed that the rumor mill is suggesting there was unprotected sex involved...you can read that link again and you'll either get that that's true OR he liked to have a poodle's participation or something! (Smile)
well..this guy's ruined. The wife's all I care about..and 3 teenaged girls.
Someone mentioned at FPM that the guy ought to be brought on the block and held up for all to see..court, etc. I told him I hoped not; kids during the Clinton nightmare learned words I'd never heard till I was at twenty.
FREE THINKER....sad, isn't it...I, too, think it'll make him more popular with some...he'll be on the A LIST for NYC parties now. And he is resigning, apparently....already has, perhaps. I just hope it goes away...with him. And every Democrat, too..! but I can't have it ALL!
Nothing would surprise me, z, but I hope we get spared the details.
He should have been more careful of who he stepped on , during his trip up, because they will be waiting on him.
He was not a good man, all was for show, and pursuit of power.
wvdottr
everyone eventually gets everything they have coming to them, barring outward appearances. i take great comfort in that.
i have no need to know the dirty details.
the wife i don't feel sooooooo badly for, but the children - all girls - wtf kind of statement does this make to them?
FJ...exactly right.."NO DETAILS, PLEASE" Except, I do hope we get the details about WHO PAID!! Rich Galen has a fun piece on it (see my blog list...'mullings'..he's good..and a friend of ours)
WVDOTTR...did you hear Wall Street cheered when they heard the news? Some brokerage house supposedly did, anyway!! This guy was NOT liked.
And nanc......the daughters.....ugh. But, I have to say I feel for the wife, too...especially if she had no idea. And I hope she gets tested.
I'M SORRY, FJ..we SAID we didn't want DETAILS!
Migod...that is an impressive array of slime...and that's just the sex perverts!!! The corrupt ones and the thieves are a whole other list...even longer than this one. That's Xtian and GOPig morality for you. Will these poor, defective people just quietly drop out of our politics and hide their faces? Unfortunately, they're too morally obtuse to even know how vile they are. Ugh!!!
Imagine if we made a list of every Democrat who ever committed a sex (or other) crime. There wouldn't be enough space on the whole web to contain it...
...and THAT would just be Barney Frank's acts....
LOL, Farmer!
I don't know why Anon is assuming any of us are Republicans in the first place.
I'm willing to bet that Spitzer's wife and girls have known exactly what kind of scumbag he is for quite some time.
I think anonymous is just showing us that our sinful nature crosses political ideologies. I'm sure even anon has a few things in it's closet.
as do we all.
I hear the AP deleted the party affiliation reference to Spitzer's "outting" yesterday. It didn't fit the narrative they've (anon incl) been selling of late...
FJ; We see that all the time, don't we. Skip party affiliation unless it's not a Democrat, then it's right there for all to see.
It's the fault of conservatives; we don't give it back like that, and we don't get involved enough in journalism OR schools, for that matter.
Anon..thanks for the information. Do you have that little else to do or do you lift that stuff from DU or Moveon?
Let's be fair

I see no reason to compare the parties when we're bound to find enough hypocrisy real or imagined to keep us all busy for a LONG time.
Landrieu investigated? Sharpton aids under investigation, Elmer's Brother!? and WE haven't HEARD of it?
Stunning, isn't it? but, let a conservative...............
you can't make this stuff up.
Don't forget, their big guy was a recruiter for the Klan...and it gets ignored..always has.
poli - many
tics - blood sucking insects
Elbro, I'd never seen that...you come up with that poli tics? great one. and good morning!
I don't remember...
g'day mate!
What a pack of ostriches...If the GOP could make a list you actually don't think they'd do it?!! They've just had the biggest crime and pervert wave in history and you think the vile, vicious party of Rove and Bush wouldn't make a list...hahahaha. Look how hard they tried with that lame Abramoff thing...tell us who has actually gone to jail or been charged...almost entirely GOPiggies...and some real biggies. The dems have had the usual number of crooks...there have always been a few on both sides...but the filth storm on the right is an unprecedented wave. Wake up...if you want to sell your souls, I think you could find something a little less tawdry than ANY political party, much less the monstrous caricature of conservatism that the GOP right has become.
Anonymous, you're fun to have around; it's good for people to see the mentality....but I have to tell you I don't welcome people who come to avowedly conservative sites and question the intelligence or anything else.
Most of us are conservative, we're VERY VERY proud not to be the party bringing socialism lite to America and worse, and so if you want to argue the points like a big boy, great...if you're going to complain and insult, go back to Evan Sayet.
Thanks
Hey, anonymouse, I'm a small "l" libertarian...what do you make of that?
Twit!
tmw
Look how hard they tried with that lame Abramoff thing..
huh...I hadn't realized Jimmy Swaggart had come out and said he was a Republican but even if he had
uh
so what?
talk about trying hard
Elmer's even dumber brother says: Elmer's Brother said...
Look how hard they tried with that lame Abramoff thing..
Haha...Jimmy Swaggart...what's that about, peabrain...I am sure he was a real progressive, though...funnier than hell.
hey I wonder how many of these anonymous has actually checked out....look at the one about Spence
The allegations of the child sex ring made national news on June 29, 1989 when the front page of the Washington Times bore the headline Homosexual Prostitution Inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush.[1] The Washington Times article by journalists Paul M. Rodriguez and George Archibald alleged that key officials of the Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush administrations were connected to an elaborate Washington, D.C male prostitution ring, and reported that two of these prostitutes even entered the White House late at night. The allegations included, among other things, "abduction and use of minors for sexual perversion."
In July, 1990, a county grand jury in Nebraska's Douglas County concluded that the charges were a "carefully crafted hoax", although they failed to identify the perpetrators of said hoax.[2] Various conspiracy theories regarding a coverup of the original allegations persist to the present day.
I bet anonymous is a illuminati/jew hating/freemasonry/911 troofer too
bwahahahaha
speakin' o peabrains
Swaggart wasn't even an elected official dumb*ss so it doesn't quite fit your analogy *snicker*
Anonymous: "Who cares who you welcome"? I care. You're gone.
To Anonymous,
As far as I can tell, the creeps and deviants who committed illegal acts on your list are cooling their heels in the slammer, which is where they belong.
Their appalling behavior doesn't excuse the Governor, who is the chief law officer of his State, from breaking his own state laws and federal laws, I might add.
You can't justify a wrong by pointing out other wrongs. I know the left loves to do that. How you exploit a double standard!
BTW, it's not conservatives who want six year olds taught about sex, is it? I consider that child abuse, but it's legal. However, the Democrats in the California legislature and other legislatures think it's fine and dandy.
So, before you celebrate yourself too much, your Party is doing damage to young psyches all over the place.
I say a pox on everyone who has contributed to the sorry state in this country regarding crassness and public discussion of graphic sexual exploits, which is not lost on young ears, and has a deleterious effect on the most vulnerable among us.
Finally anonymous, ....(you have a problem dreaming up a screen name?) Save your excuses please. There is no excuse for what Spitzer did, and no excuse for his unbelieveable lack of judgement. This is a man who put people in jail, for what he himself has engaged in.
Come to think of it, The Dems might like to see Spitzer in the Oval office someday, why, for them it might be a prerequisite. Practice makes perfect, right?
Pris
there's always the t-shirt
FJ....the minute I pushed "SEND" at Sayet's site, I remembered I hadn't clicked ANONYMOUS and BANGO, within FIVE MINUTES this sorry little dope arrived here!
Well, everyone here can handle themselves..check out Elbro and Pris and tmw. I know you can, too...let it rip!
I'll delete comments when I have to. Or go to monitoring for a while. But, thanks.....I guess my site's been broken in(or down) now....I'm happy to have diverse opinions, just not childish insults.
Like every rule, there's always an exception... even to general rules like those surrounding free-speech... At some point you've got to be able to turn off the loud-speakers.
I don't think that Evan's quite figured that out yet...
I wish I had a spam filter I could set to "ultra-liberal *ss-holes*.
FreeThinker says:
The best way to handle trolls is to BANISH THEM.
If one hasn't the power to BANISH them, the very best thing the rest of us should do is studiously IGNORE them.
One you take the BAIT, the site IMMEDIATELY starts going down hill.
TAUNTERS should be DENIED ACCESS. PERIOD.
Free Thinker....your posts are now being moderated, we're handling it, thanks.
You won't see your post until I've read it and published it, but you know me....I'll be around and keep the action going as quick as possible.
Thanks for your patience....
