Or maybe he's just a douchebag who couldn't care less if he gave his wife genital warts from banging hookers. The answer doesn't have to be that complicated.

While it's good fun ("bros before ho's") and all that to bash the sexworkers as filthy, disease-ridden whores or something similarly demeaning, the fact is it was Spitzer who was desirous to engage in high-risk sex without protection. [...] The answer is that complicated. At least it is if you bother to think beyond the easy stereotype.

Amen to that. thumbsup.gif

P.S. Was he charged?

For $31,000 a day, are you suggesting these women are forced into prostitution as "sexworkers" because they can't do anything else? If it weren't for having to be a prostitute for roughly $1 million a year, they'd have to go back to their $150,000 a year job and try to squeak by on that measly pay?

Sorry - if you act like a whore, you are a whore. There's nothing demeaning about that. If someone doesn't like the term "whore", quit letting guys bang you for cash and get a real job.

I could have sworn NT took issue with your comment about Spitzer passing diseases onto his wife instead of a prostitute's paygrade. After all, husbands don't have to pay for sex to be douchebags; they don't even have to have sex with a woman to wreck their wives' sexual health and ability to continue enjoying hassle-free sex in the future.

We're all douchebags and whores unless we ask for a divorce first. laugh.gif

1) Should he resign over this? (He appears to have not resigned yet)

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080312/ap_on_...er_prostitution

He resigned

2) Does this hurt the Democrats in New York or Nationally?

Nope- just another hypocrite caught with his pants down- literally it seems.

3) Could this possibly have happened to a nicer guy?

Okay, I will go with the theme here- he was a douchebag that got caught with a whore. Not as bad as outing a CIA agent or lying to go to war, or the turdblossoms secret homo affair with a male hooker- but bad enough to get the hell out of office, to be sure.

Interesting though- he was man enough, at least to resign over his wrong doing and not drag it all out like Craig, or harm national security, like Cheney and Bush.

I just wish republicans had the same ability to take personal responsibility for thier actions. w00t.gif thumbsup.gif rolleyes.gif

All you're doing is demonstrate how little you know about prostitution, DaytonRocker. Prostitution is a real job. And it pays better than a woman wearing a blue smock and standing behind a cash register at Wal-Mart while horny old men ogle your breasts.

Women who work out of agencies don't make $31,000 a day. Nor do most of them see multiple clients in a day. Even fewer come anywhere near to making a $1 million a year.

"If you act like a whore, you are a whore." If you mean Eliot Spitzer is a whore, I agree with you. He betrayed his wife, his daughters and set his whole career on fire for seven minutes of fun. How stupid is that? If the women are whores, what are the guys that pay for sex? Macho studs? Does Spitzer look particularly like any sort of lady's man?

Some women wouldn't consider that a insult. They would reply, "It's better to be a whore and get paid for what thousands of women give away for free."

# Whores are independent.
# Whores teach people how to have safer sex.
# Whores are free spirits.
# Whores relieve millions of people of unwanted stress and tension.
# Whores heal.
# Whores make good money.
# Whores always have a job.


40 reasons why whores are my heroes (not work safe)

I know many sexworkers and politicians and all n' all, the whores are more honest about who they are than the politicians condemning them by day and creeping to their beds after dark like two-legged cockroaches.

Whores screw only person at a time. Scumbag politicians like Spitzer screw everyone that ever believed in them.

I like the whores better that the politicians.
