Eliot Spitzer

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
You do not sound like a man hater, but it occurs to me there was also a woman involved. Was she any less cupable or piggish?
 
<p>Oink.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Except for the obvious law-breaking issue, this should be an issue between him and his wife. That said, like many drugs, said activity should be legal, regulated for safety and taxed. Then it would simply be an issue between someone and their spouse. That said, I don't think it flies.</p>

<p>Awgee, she wasn't less culpable because she was a paid "professional". Is McDonald's at fault when you order a Big Mac?</p>

<p>That aside, can anybody comment on the increased "marketability" of a man in a committed relationship to one that is not.</p>
 
Awgee - if she was single, then yes, I submit that she was definitely less of a guilty party than he was. See, I'm not looking at this from the legal or publicly ethical standpoint. I am looking at it as a woman. When you get married, you agree not to do the deed with another human being apart from your spouse.





And really, how much sex can you really get for 80k? Jeez!
 
victimless crime. We are wasting tax dollar to things like that.



Two consenting adults do things in the private of their hotel rooms...it is purely between him and his family. I don't like Spliter at all, but I think we are making a big deal out of nothing.



if there is no payment involved, then there is no crime...so it is only a crime if there is money involved...and the person got hurt equally regardless there is a payment. That along will indicate the law is not right.
 
he is married...he has bad moral...i agree with you...I might even go further to say he is a absolute a-hole...many folks on wall street have drink bubbles to celebrate this...maybe the wife should leave him...but it stops right there...



maybe his wife knows about it and ok with it? I don't know the facts, but who knows...



he is a pig, you are right,



but the women? how should we call the women in this case? Takes two to "tangle"...
 
ISM - Seriously, if she is single, she is less piggish if she has sex with a married man than the married man? In my simple mind, she is disrespecting his wife and family just as much as he is.<p>
 
<p>Except for the alleged paying. Which under current law, makes it illegal. And also due to current law making it illegal also means it's highly exploitive. Although at an alleged $4000 a pop, I wonder who is getting exploited.</p>

<p> </p>
 
awgee - I respectfully disagree. She didn't stand before God and a court of law and swear undying dedication to anybody...I'm not saying she's a model citizen; don't get me wrong. Just that he is married and a public figure and still couldn't keep his pants zipped. Pathetic.
 
People....who care...I think a lot of politicians has affair, the smart one was able to cover their track better...that's all. Beside, isn't he somewhere in New York? He is using New Yorker tax money not ours. We have better thing to discuss...like when SFH will come down to $ 350K so I can buy one...and by the time SFH reach $ 350K will there be any job left for us to work?
 
<p>tulip, </p>

<p>350k for SFH? I saw one with overgrown grass and bank owned in Santa Ana for 399k and that was the opening bid. I forgot to mention, there were 17 offers. Geez. </p>
 
<p>Give it time reason. The bidding frenzy will die out also, of those 17 bids, how many weren't real? The current auction put on by the likes of REDC, IMHO, are a shame. Shill bidders, unqualified buyers, bah, who needs it. That's how this mess got started by allowing anyone with no means to afford house, bid on an and "buy".</p>

<p>It'll take another year, maybe more. Then the auctions will be sparsely attended mainly by professionals with deep pockets. Right now, buying foreclosures is the hot thing. I'm waiting for TLC or A&E to come out with "Foreclosure Pros" this summer or maybe "Foreclosure Hunter" or "Foreclosure Shark".</p>

<p>Eventually, that money will run dry too and literally, the only people left doing it will be the same ones that did it in '95.</p>

<p> </p>
 
<p>Yeah, the freaking seller's agent told me that. "Put in your serious bid, cause there're 17 offers on that property." First thing that came to my mind was, "Whatever, 17 my a$$."</p>
 
<p>The vocation (from Latin <em>vocare</em> - to call out, announce publicly) of public service requires an oath of fidelity to those served. If one can not be faithful to the beloved spouse, can the servant be expected to be faithful to others who are not as close as the spouse?</p>

<p>Of course, nobody is perfect. However, a true leader would remorsefully disclose the transgression to the offended immediately after its commission and accept the just punishment, as opposed to continuing to engage in it and <em>then </em>confessing <em>after </em>apprehension.</p>

<p>These days I wonder how many American public servants have leadership qualities. I also wonder how many American "leaders" act as servants to the public.</p>
