The New York Governor is reported to be named in an investigation of a prostitution ring called Emperor's Club VIP where police have so far arrested 4 people.

The ring had a website which displays scantly-clad women with a rating and a price per hour starting at $5,500.
In your haste to bash you seem to have misread the price list.


Spitzer has yet to comment on the allegations, but plans an announcement later today.

So much for a Democrat that campainged on the promise to "root out Republican corruption."
In your haste to bash you seem to have inserted something that he never said.  He pledged to root out corruption, not just Republican corruption.

Reports are that Spitzer plans to resign....

Calm down, thompson...

The original article said the agency started at $5,500... they then updated it to what he actually paid...$4,300. They dont let you edit posts in this forum after an hour so my post had to stay as is.

4300$ isn't 10,000$. So... The feds are data-mining *ALL* credit card transactions!

It was $4300 for this last little adventure... Spitzer has spent $80,000 on this little hobby.
In your knee jerk haste to bash do you even bother to read the link you posted?  The link you posted does not say he spent $80,000 it says the total may go that high....although at four large a pop plus tip that is less than twenty trips to the play ground.

And the bank reported it to the IRS. The IRS then reported it to the FBI.
Of course a group of hookers this large and with as many customers that it obviously has you don't think he was singled out.  How many other clients have been outed?  Is it possible that he is their only client...you really are smarter than that, I have read a lot of your posts.  Do you know anyone who pays $4,000 for a little pussy?
Your posts are full of hatred for demopubs...you know I find both demopubs and republicrats to be scum but this is nothing but bashing.  Aside from the fact that he is a demopub what do you find repulsive about him.  In his public career which of his prosecutions do you feel was unjustified?  All the rhetoric about his hypocrisy is just more hypocrisy.


It's been the law for decades that if the bank moves $10,000 from one location to anther, they have to report it. They also report smaller chunks if they suspect someone is trying to avoid the $10,000 threshold. The bank reported it. The IRS looked into it and discovered a dummy corporation was being used as a medium. The IRS feared possible blackmail or money laundering. So they informed the FBI. The FBI then tapped Spitzer's phones (the dummy corporation he was using was probable cause). And the FBI discovered the prostitute ring and caught him negotiating money and location with a hooker.
What a load of horse pucky...in todays economy $4,000 is nothing.  That would not make the monthly house payment on a tract shack in Compton.

Farg is completely incorrect.  There was no credit card involved at all.  Spitzer was setting up dummy corparations in the exact manner it is done to launder money.  And it got noticed. 

The rumour I heard was that he was going to switch his super delegate vote from Clinton to Obama..... Sort of a warning that she does still have all the info from the FBI files, and isn't afraid to use it.

She's alright, but $4300?  She's not that great.  If you have that kind of money to be throwing around, you'd figure he'd have no problem finding a bevy of willing, young women to fool around with that aren't prostitutes.  He was the Attorney General of New York for fuck's sake!  He was the chief law enforcement officer for the 2nd largest state in the country, so he should have fucking known better.  He is guilty of violating the Mann act, and that's serious shit.  He paid the girl to come down to Washington D.C., which is transporting a person across state lines for immoral purposes.  He is federally fucked on this one, and it's his own damn fault.  What a fucking moron!

*knowing*. Hey, as far as he knew, he was paying for whores. If Bush gets to walk away from his crimes, why not Spitzer?

Frankly, Spitzer's lies didn't waste 3 trillion of your dollars, and IF ANYTHING, he would have helped bust AT&T for spying on you and gotten you a free months' worth of phone service and an American Idol ringtone... It ain't the 146,000 AT&T ***OWES YOU**** but hey, who else in Govt cares about you even that much?
