'm not asking why prostitution is wrong, I'm asking why it's illegal.You cannot call the police and report your spouse for being unfaithful, unless, of course, your spouse is being unfaithful with a prostitute.

Meredith Vieira did a wonderful job throughout, pretending to be shocked when she specifically prompted Dr. Laura to let loose.

The question is not whether we will see new revelations in the Spitzer sex scandal, but whether disgust over Spitzer's destruction of his career will lead some voters to look to a woman for freedom from sex scandals.

It remains to be seen what will happen to Mr. Spitzer, although one has to wonder whether violating a law from 1910 is really grounds for resignation or prosecution.

If Spitzer stays, it will be nasty and the Republicans will use it as a distraction, but I believe most New Yorkers will quickly move on and demand that that state get back to doing the people's work.

I'm sorry, I thought he was "involved." That's what the news networks said. CNN distinctly wrote down, "Spitzer involved in Prostitution Ring." It did not say "Spitzer caught with Prostitutes."

The Spitzer switcheroo -- two fisted crime-fighting prosecutor to alleged Mann Act violator -- is not the most dramatic nor ironic of 180s among New York prosecutors-turned-pols.

Women are either less willing to cheat on their spouse, abuse young interns and cross the double-yellow line of sexual indiscretion, or we're much better at hiding it.

Billions of dollars are unaccounted for in Iraq. Might some government sleuth deployed on the Catch-Eliot- Spitzer-With-His-Pants-Down detail be put to more profitable use figuring out exactly what happened to that bundle?

This delicious piece of trash reminds everybody of the yuck factor that haunts the Clinton Restoration movement. It's subliminal, but that could make it even better.

This is American politics and just about any guy can survive anything if Pres. Clinton can survive an impeachment, especially if his wife is standing beside him during his 'mea culpa.'
Chris Kelly | Posted 03.10.2008 | Politics
I'm not being judgmental about Spitzer's home life. And by "home life" I mean, "sex with prostitutes." I'm being judgmental about whether NY State deserves a governor with a rudimentary understanding of the law.

The image of an idealistic Democratic leader running on change and cleaning up after the incumbent is something the floundering GOP will eat up like their favorite dessert then regurgitate right into attack ads. Don't buy it.

Spitzer is a superdelegate, and a supporter of Hillary Clinton. What will happen to his vote? How will Clinton react? Will she support him as she supported her own husband? Also, so much for the first Jewish president.
