4. Was that you, Giuliani spewing moral relevency?
The exception that proves the rule?

I don't think Spitzer's career is dead.

10. Rudy was carrying on with the hired prostate nurse.....while his
wife was home with the kids....she found out during a news conference he was leaving her. Rudy is a cad. Eliot would make a great mayor and he is still with his wife.

5. A Good Job As Mayor Would Wipe That Slate
He has publicly admitted it and doesn't shy away from it or, better yet, take any guff from the pubbies about it. A lot of NYers could care less about the call girl business and wish he had stayed as gov.

7. Uh, wasn't he breaking underage rings?
Seems to me you have overgeneralized yourself out of a strong advocate.

And a false finding of hypocrisy isn't a good motive for any action.

13. Huh? A man who is prosecuting prostitution rings, and then commits the same crime
that he is committing is NOT a hypocrite??

14. Whence that "underage" detail? According to MSNBC:
His cases as attorney general included criminal prosecutions of prostitution rings and tourism involving prostitutes. In 2004, he was part of an investigation of an escort service in New York City that resulted in the arrests of 18 people on charges of promoting prostitution and related charges.
