So what if Eliot Spitzer used a prostitute
Well, Eliot Spitzer, Governor of New York paid close to $4000 to spend time with a hooker and now he had to resign before the Republicans hanged him. While I’m not condoning, his behavior, first cheating and then, he’s a governor. The question is: should we even care? It’s not like he’s the first politician to be caught with hookers. Besides, most politicians bang a lot of women who ain’t their wives and screw over the public on a daily basis. At least the hookers get paid. What does the public get?….Shit.
Good old John Kennedy banged Marilyn Monroe, then tossed her to Bobby. Bush the Elder banged his secretary for several years. Warren Harding fathered a child illegimately with a woman who wasn’t his wife. Bill Clinton gave new meaning to love stains (I still maintain he could’ve done better than Monica). And religious guys don’t do better. That Ted Haggard reverend who advises Bush II was taking it up the ass from a male escort. Jimmy Swaggart and Tammy Faye’s husband also cheated.
But what outrages me is that Spitzer was forced to resign over this issue, and nobody has introduced articles of impeachment against Bush despite the Iraq war and several high profile scandals.
