The New York Post (for what it's worth)is reporting today that Eliot Spitzer has been playing with the prostitutes for perhaps up to six years.... and the girl "Kristen" that is at the center of his issues right now is one he hired up to seven times recently.
Since 2002? That's a long time. Didn't he just throw some prostitutes in jail in 2004 or something--if so, that's the epitome of hypocrisy. Say what you want about Vitter, Craig, and the rest--they weren't actively throwing people in jail for their sex stuff like Spitzer was.
One wonders how much worse it will get for the Democratic governor. My guess: a lot worse.
Edit: Since people seem to be saying "another Spitzer diary" I'll just make my comment then.
Spitzer has slimed any moral authority Dem's could have used this year. The Democratic party cannot campaign on "those evil Republican icky sex scandals" this year, even if one breaks.
For that matter, Spitzer is just reinforcing the idea that bad apples are not exclusively of one party. Think of Jefferson, Bill Clinton, Gary Studds (who was applauded on the House floor for doing what people ran Mark Foley out on a rail for), and other things.
They are all democrats, while the Republican have had Vitter, Gingritch, and Craig recently as well.
Politicians of both sides need to keep it zipped.
