Who would have thought… Gov. Spitzer outdid Bill Clinton in the sleeze department. Generally, you won’t see much political stuff on this blog. But I just had to comment on this. I thought it was really cool last summer when I got this shot of Spitzer at the finish line of the Boilermaker Road Race in Utica NY. I put it on my Flickr stream, and there was never much interest in it. I think it got one hit, but I didn’t have it properly tagged, either. Now it’s the 3rd most popular photo in my stream, and climbing. So it’s being found now.

I was really disappointed. I would have thought that for all the money he was spending, the lady providing his “services” would have been much better looking. So, he obviously wasn’t paying for looks. What was he paying this premium price for? Descretion? Do the services he wanted to purchase stray far enough from the mainstream to raise the cost that high?

I made the comparison between Spitzer and Bill Clinton. That really isn’t a fair comparison. What Bill did amounted to a little horse play in the White House. Yeah, it caused a scandal for the highest office, and it opened him up by giving someone some potential blackmail material. But other than that, who got hurt? Hillary? Please. Did he do something nobody expected from him? Yeah, right. Spitzer on the other hand paid for sex – illegal, and sent money across state lines – really illegal. And he prosecuted people from his high and mighty pedestal, while all along thinking he was above the law. So, today NY State is getting a new Governor, and I say to Spitzer as he leaves, Good Riddence.
