We should treat Spitzer no differently than Craig

[ShaneGR]

He violated the law. He repeatedly paid for sex with a prostitution ring. Not only that, but he built his entire career on aggressive prosecution. Cut our losses with this idiot and move on. No arguments, it's over, he failed horribly.


BTW, here's Kristen, his girl of choice.

1. What Spitzer did was worse than Craig

But I'm also one of the very few that actually believes Larry Craig.

8. Have you ever been in a mens restroom?

I dont believe him. you do your best not to touch anything. Much less anyone

[MadBadger]

11. No, I pee in my pants when I need to go

lol

But seriously, I dont believe for a second that Craig knew of some foot tapping code. I think hes just a complete fool...But I also think the Cop should have better things to do than what he was doing. And if he did want gay sex, whats the big deal? He never REALLY solicited it.

15. What would be your guess

as to why larry craig walked past 4 other restrooms in order to use the special restroom at the Minneapolis airport?

Wake up. He knew what he was doing.

2. I agree

[anigbrowl]

3. He resigned already

He was right to quit, but he did the wright thing instead of laying down a trail of BS and embarrassing us all. So we might as well let it go, and see if he reappears in 5 years as an older and wiser man.

4. I took it like a punch in the gut.

I really had high hopes for Eliot Spitzer. I think what he did was worse than Craig, IMHO.

I saw the hypocrisy with Craig, but I don't think making sexual advances should be against the law.

What Spitzer did was both hypocritical *and* against the law.

5. You mean with

derision, contempt and humor???

I can go with that

[FormerDittoHead]

6. Kinda wondering what this has to do with the PRIMARIES? n/t

[bridgit]

7. So, um, what? Leave him in office as Craig still is?

:dilemma:

9. Craig was in a public place.. people take their children into public restrooms. Sorry not the same

The possibility of engaging in sexual relations somewhere that children may be right outside the stall isn't the same as meeting a consenting adult "sex worker" in private.


He should be treated like Vitters, kinda... maybe a bit worse.

10. Craig is still in office. Did I miss something?

[dailykoff]

12. She's attractive, but...

what if he had seduced one of his daughter's classmates instead? Would that be better or worse?

[goldcanyonaz]

13. Too bad he didn't stay at home and 'seduce' his wife.

I can't believe how hard this must be for her. I, thankfully have never been in this position so it would be easy to say I would kick his ass across that stage.

14. Too bad the media is treating Spitzer differently than Craig n/t
