Emperor's Fall?
As news breaks that NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer is "involved" in a prostitution ring, The New York Times is reporting that federal authorities have arrested four people associated with an online prostitution company called the Emperor's Club. The individuals were nabbed "on charges of running an online prostitution ring that serviced clients in New York, Paris and other cities and took in more than $1 million in profits over four years."
"The ring, known as the Emperor’s Club V.I.P., had 50 prostitutes available for appointments in New York, Washington, Miami, London and Paris, according to a complaint unsealed on Thursday in Federal District Court in Manhattan. The appointments, made by telephone or through an online booking service, cost $1,000 to $5,500 an hour and could be paid for with cash, credit card, wire transfers or money orders, the complaint said."
Waiting to learn how Spitzer, known as a corporate crime fighting crusader, is wrapped up in this.
"The standard is so much higher for Eliot Spitzer than for anyone else" MSNBC's Abrams.
It is amazing to me that these elected officials seem to forget who put them where they are. It seems that as soon as these hypocrits get elected into office that they think they no longer have to answer to the very people that put them there. His comments are disguisting, and the fact that he feels he must make amends with his family before apologizing to the people he so-calls "represents" is also stupid. With regards to him being the one to decide if he will resign or not is just plain stupid. We the people put him in office and We The People can kick him out of office. He works for us.
