You can always count on... II

...the hypocrites.
The former New York Governor has made a career fighting prostitution rings. Apparently the rings have struck back.
Many are comparing Spitzer with Bill Clinton. It makes some sense: both are politicians , democrats, and were caught in sex scandals. But, well, Clinton has not paid for it. He has not expend money nor let the political job. Home run for the "come back kid".
In the opposite direction, Spitzer has paid, as the news are saying, $80,000 dollars in hooker´s bills (strike one), has resigned from his mandate (strike two), and has Biblically known Misses Dupre, a.k.a. Kristen, (it was definitively not a strike, considering the pictures I have seen on the news I even would love pass the same experience if I could afford- he can easily say in your face Bill).
So, as we saw, the results were all but alike, and the hypocrite that climbed fighting prostitution is facing ruin for using it. Poetic justice.
Just a commentary: when all parts are in a consensual agreement prostitution should not even been considered a crime, despite it the ex-prosecutor have battled it as a crusade, so he could not appear as a usual costumer VIP.
