Spitzer "tipped well"!
Another "escort" has stepped forward to claim that Eliot Spitzer was a customer while New York Attorney General, that he did not doing anything that was not "clean," and that he tipped well:
A 22-year-old escort found on another call-girl Web site claimed to ABC News in a phone interview that Gov. Eliot Spitzer had been one of her customers two years ago when he was New York attorney general and that he was a nice guy who tipped well.
I am relieved, because I did in fact hope that when fellow Princetonian Eliot Spitzer bought all that sex he was at least classy about it.

So, what do you tip a call girl? Fifteen to twenty per cent?
Look at "The Gut" to see a theory as to why he needed them in the first place (U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi), and a way out of this mess. Ouch.

Having watched Prof. Dershowitz (who taught Spitzer at HLS) on MSNBC and CNN today, basically saying that the Feds had no business poking around in Spitzer's bank account even after being alerted via an "SAR" because the dollar amounts were too small, and further had no business taking him down via a leak when the payments led them to the ring, when the ring should have been the target (not the Johns), and that therefore this "stinks" and must be a hit job by the Bush Justice Dept., I realized I never generated that kind of loyalty from my professors, either at PU or in grad school.
So, he has something going for him.

His "apology" really confirmed for me what a smug, condescending little prick he truly is. It's one thing to be a hypocrite, but you could tell he felt absolutely no conflict whatsoever. Do as I say, not as I do...

I think that Dershowitz is outlining a line of defense and counter-attack, which may lead some to believe that Spitzer has no intention of resigning. He may fight it out on this line.
Great egotism often goes with great ambition and intellectual ability. I think that Spitzer is an arrogant and mean-spirited elitist, who enjoyed attacking people and wrecking what they may have honestly achieved because it was "a triumph of the will", and had little to do with his public populist rationalizations of "justice" and "defending the little guy".
He knows that he is "superior" and enjoyed flaunting it.
Dershowitz defends him for both philosophical reasons and because they are kindred spirits. Spitzer advances domestic "lawfare", the elevation of lawyers as secular high priests of the modern American society, to which Dershowitz was his mentor, and Dershowitz profits in a metaphysical way from this sort of popular adulation as a "high priest" of the law profession. Frequent guest shots on CNN and MSNBC are evidence of that.
The absence of simple conscience and dignity, and respect for what should be left alone with the lives of other people, are what is most chilling about these people and their ultimate goal: not just the Marxist ideal of making all aspects of life political, but making all aspects of life subject to the judicial.

reading with the tv providing background noise
there is a show on abc with some host doing a segment on politicians caught cheating or involved in sex scandals
5 men were shown with their wives in the montage - john mccain was 1 of the 5. i was not aware he has been caught cheating on his wife or was involved in a sex scandal.
if not, what was the purpose? information is perception perhaps

"hit job"
I agree. But the whole thing seems too slick to be the work of Bush or Cheney or their appointees. It's more like something Gordon Gekko would set up.

I'm starting to fear this man attempting to "ride it out".
I'm just stunned. For all the back-n-forth about Craig & Vitter (for example) those were 1) no executives 2) other peoples representatives.
Spitzer is 1) the chief enforcement officer in NYS and, 2) MINE.
UGH, Go Away.

Princetonians are educated beyond any semblance of common sense. There is no classy way to buy sex. If you have to pay money to get your pipes cleaned, you are by definition a dork.
