on a different perspective, paying for sex has been going on for centuries and recently the numbers are increasing.

For how many centuries do you have the statistical data to prove this assertion?

Are you actually trying to despute that prostituion has existed since the dawn of civilization?

I'm questioning the assertion that the numbers are increasing.

I LOL'ed at:

Spitzer, 48, built his political legacy on rooting out corruption, including several headline-making battles with Wall Street while serving as attorney general. He stormed into the governor's office in 2006 with a historic share of the vote, vowing to continue his no-nonsense approach to fixing one of the nation's worst governments.

Time magazine had named him "Crusader of the Year" when he was attorney general and the tabloids proclaimed him "Eliot Ness."

Where'd i miss this?

Emperors Club billed itself as a service for wealthy men that provided introductions to models as well as investment advice, according to its Web site, which has been taken down.

Spitzer has reportedly been indicted.

The news just keeps breaking: Shepard Smith reports that Spitzer has been indicted by the southern district of New York.

This is after a report that he's (obviously) resigning.

He never admitted to have done anything :)

He was identified on the evidence as 'Client 9'.

uhoh, one of the cities also targetted by the wiretap is Washington , DC.

Wonder what other high end clients will come to light ?


If Bush is on there , LOL

In true ex-prosecutor fashion, the closest he came to admitting he'd been banging ukrainian sex slaves two at a time was saying he had violated the trust of his family...

I love the smell of burning hypocite in the morning...

what about the other clients?? Since other clients are, probably, not as famous, will the names be released? how/why did spitzer's name get tied to client 9?

They just read out the transcripts.
The act happened at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC.
He offered her 3600, she said how about 1500 more.
