    Her guiltiest indulgence is the opera

    According to this, a full day with a "seven diamond" model is $31,000. Jesus that is the real scandal here.

      Nice post, Che.

      So, one day with a (presumably) great-looking hooker vs. a new car.

          Berz doesn't appear to believe in a society of laws.
          The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and it appears neither you nor Congress could care less about what it says.

          what DanS was saying is that if you believe in a society of laws, it is hard to really criticize a Law Enforcement Official for upholding the law. That's his job. His job isn't to decide which laws are moral or immoral.
          So if I believe in a society of laws, then I'm obliged to not only support the laws and its enforcers, I'd be turning in my neighbors for helping runaway slaves 150 years ago. Is that what it means to believe in a society of laws? Is that what you'd have been doing 150 years ago Dan? Turning in runaway slaves and their helpers out of respect for society's laws?

            If you believe the law is wrong, you should be willing to go to jail over it. The point of civil disobedience to to overwhelm the jail system with people breaking the law, not to do it in secret.

As a side I think the prostitution laws suck and should go away but as Attorney General of NY Spitzer locked up all sorts of hookers and Johns so he needs to fall on his knife.
                Well, If I understand correctly, Dan's argument was that Spitzer was a pretty good law man, and the standard for that is enforcing the laws in place, not ruling by your own sense of morality. I think Dan would agree that he deserves a lashing, but more because of equal application of the law rather than the hypocrisy aspect.

                    Me too. I mean... he was a freaking Attorney General! How did he NOT know this could and would be traced? Especially when he becomes governor (public officials tend to have their finances FAR more closely monitored by agencies looking for fraudulent behavior)?

                    • Hubris is my guess. He can probably survive this, though I don't know anything about this Troopergate.

                      • You think he can survive this? I'm surprised he hasn't resigned already.

                        • It's just sex. Most people don't care I think.

                            The only thing that I can think of is that he thought that he was the only aggressive prosecutor of the law. Such thinking would prove correct most of the time.
                            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                              • If it was "just sex" i would agree but it is more than that. What will he say when he comes out of hiding?

                                You may be right and that he could survive this but I don't think the odds favour it. I think he is political roadkill.
