Eliot Spitzer dials 911
Look, everyone else has an opinion on this guy,so I will have to give mine. I really, really, really don't care what sex two consenting adults have IF they aren't married and took a vow (which is an old timey kind of promise you make if you have character) to be faithful to a mate. So if Spitzer had been a single guy, who NEVER EVER talked about the "poor" and "homeless" as needing money or support, who was the callous type and frankly didn't give a crap about where his hard earned dollars went, then he could call anyone manner of person for his sexual desires and I could care less- as long as he could pay his ER and anitbiotics bills. I don't think that prostitution is a victimless crime- and this whole episode is an example of WHY that is true. Spitzer isn't at all apologetic- I've seen his kind. He is not sad, he is mystified at how someone as "smart" as he is got caught. He is FAR more upset about the game being over and about his being tagged. Because, if the truth was told outright, if he gave a damn about his wife or kids, he would never have done this to begin with. If I could quit smoking, he could quit prostitutes. I'm sure quitting smoking was harder. Is his wife embarrassed? Well, I wouldn't be and she shouldn't be. She should be calling in forensic financial investigators to find every last damn dime, including the 80K he wasted on call girls, and then she should ruthlessly ruin this man. He is a sociopath. And a hypocrite. And his daughters have now learned that women are basically at the mercy of men. That lives can be ruined over something as simple as sexual intercourse. And if you've had it, you know it isn't rocket science. That's why you don't need instructions. FOUR women were and always will be hurt by this man. Then there is the call girl herself- a 22 year old woman with her face plastered all over the news now. A woman from a broken home, with an abusive boyfriend or two, who discovered that she didn't have to give it away for free. There is nothing more offensive in this world than the remark that "every woman is a prostitute" because every woman has her price. That a wife will sleep with- oh who are we kidding, no one is sleeping- her husband in order to get a new dishwasher. Well, IF that is true, then it says far more about her husband than it does about her. For something so simple, it gets pretty complicated very fast. But this Mr Spitzer doesn't deserve the decent and loving spouse he has and the beautiful girls who now know just what their dad thinks of women. Everything has a price, Mr Spitzer, and it isn't always upfront. But as I say, Eliot Spitzer doesn't have any guilt- like most smart criminals, he is confused and disappointed with himself because he got caught. What a jackass.
