      Sexually he has very good taste, that's not the point, idiot. He's paying WAY TOO MUCH for it; with taxpayers money (my money), driving the price up for all us regular folk; with our money. No punk like that is going to have the opportunity to pass moral judgment on me. No Sir. You can bet on that.

      Spitzer should be hired by the Obama Administration. I could care less about his sex perversions. 2/3 of politicians have some sex obsession. Thats his business. He was a major asset on Wall Street.

      Yes, at least we'll know where the taxpayers money is goin' and that it won't be wasted on selfish, extravagant foolishness; and that justice will be served... He's a frugal family man. Right?

      I agree. I think Obama should think about making him Attorney General. It may sound crazy but I think it just might work - I know Spitzer would be up to the job.

      It is unfortunate that we have ruined this man's career. Cleary, he could have served this country well, at a time when the nation obviously lacks talented and competent politicians. It is most unfortunate; it is a tragedy. Sexual shenanigans are not a novel occurrence among politicians, so it bewilders me how the nation has decided to demonize an act that is not at all an anomaly in the sphere of politics. It is a commonplace in Europe and elsewhere, where they are not stupid enough to villainize potentially talented civil servants. What a tragic loss to this country and its institutions, and what a sign of degeneracy, as if he were the first to commit such an act.
