Another American political career came to a screeching and humiliating end Wednesday. New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer became former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer after his resignation in the wake of getting caught dallying with prostitutes and spending $80,000 on illicit sex.
What was he thinking? Besides, The Hound thinks the wife of Client 9 is pretty hot. And, she's a lawyer.
How long Spitzer, 48, thought he could get away with paying for sex only he and his arrogance knew. The once Democratic crime fighter and trustbuster who basked in the nickname "Eliot Ness" seemed oblivious to the harm that by bringing the woman across state lines he was violating the Mann Act, an offense that would endanger him, his family and his political future.
Plus, he shelled out $80,000 for sex. Was this guy horny or what? The professional escort he escorted to the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., alone cost $4,300 for the night.
And, once again we find the dutiful wife standing beside her alley cattin' husband while he apologizes for getting caught. What's with that? Most non-political wives would be looking for the butcher knife if this happened to them.
We're a nation of second acts. We'll see if Spitzer can make a comeback after being this week's laughingstock of the nation.
How come Illinois pols never get embroiled in any sex scandals. All we get is run-of-the-mill governmental corruption cases to report on. Nothing steamy. Guess our pols like money and power over whatever is in third place in their minds.
