If you’ve turned on a television, radio, or computer today then you probably know New York Governor Eliot Spitzer got caught in a prostitution sting. I’d like to tell you why I don’t care about that.
Eliot Spitzer did a lot of good for a lot of people as New York Attorney General. He took on all kinds of big corporate nasties and we’re all better off for his efforts. Despite that record, he’s proven an utter failure as governor of New York. I don’t care and I’m not offended that he occasionally sleeps with very well-paid prostitutes. I absolutely care and am offended by his incredible ineptness during his first year in office. Simply put, he’s been an awful governor.
Puzzle me this… why is prostitution illegal, but porn can be picked up at any corner gas station? Both involve people paying for sex. If Gov. Spitzer had filmed himself sleeping with the prostitute and distributed the tape under the Vivid or Girls Gone Wild brand, he would have been in the legal clear and made another million dollars. As it stands, he’s expected to resign in disgrace.
Moral of the story: Governor, you’re rich and famous, next time call up Kim Kardashian. I hear she’s always available.
