Since when does solicitation = "involvement in a prostitution ring"?

[redqueen]

:wtf:

Does the wording there not imply that he had a hand in the management of / profiting from the ring?

This is ridiculous, even by the corporate clown media's own corrupt-as-hell standards!

[NightWatcher]

1. I dont believe that's all that there is

I think it goes deeper. Huffpo says he's out tonight around 7'ish

[Redbear]

9. Huffpo just changed their headline from Spitzer Indicted/To Resign

to:

Report: Spitzer to resign

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. I think the wording of it was incredibly misleading...

Incredibly. I've come to expect it though.

If they had stated it as it was it would be bad enough.

[FormerDittoHead]

17. Me too. I was actually shocked with "being involved" meant he just hired a hooker.

...and it's good to know that the feds are so tied up with tracking down terrorists...

[babylonsister]

3. I think it's ludicrous, too. He paid for sex; big deal. It should be

between him and his wife, not the country. But he has lots of enemies who are gleeful.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. If only he hadn't prosecuted others for it...actively and vocally.

[babylonsister]

11. True that; hypocrisy is what makes it even worse. nt

[theboss]

8. It's okay for prosecutors to break the laws at night they enforce in the day?

If you found out that a prosecutor was a cocaine dealer would that be ok with you?

[babylonsister]

10. No, because cocaine is illegal; sex isn't. Put it this way;

to me, it's a pretty minor infraction; they're talking misdemeanor? So charge him for being a john, but it seems to me the m$m is blowing it wildly out of proportion.

[theboss]

12. Hookers are, in fact, illegal

At least last time I checked.

[babylonsister]

13. OK, you win, he's a vewy vewy evil man. Chuck him in the clinker

and throw away the key.

[WinkyDink]

20. No need for hyperbole. A lawman broke the law he prided himself on prosecuting. HE knows that, if

you don't.

[Warpy]

16. They are. He not only went after hookers and johns, he

went after the holy thieves on Wall Street. They're indecently gleeful about this. Never mind the Wall Street thieves were costing them a fortune, any guy in a fancy Italian suit gets a pass from the media whores.

This whole thing is ridiculous, but it's about all we can ever expect from a nanny state and from the men who enforce it.

[theboss]

4. Well, he was mailing them large packages of money

It's more than solicitation. There's mail fraud and conspiracy at the very least.

[redqueen]

7. Dammit.

Dammit dammit dammit.

:grr:


I want Larry Flynt to release some more names, take some air out of this story.

:mad:!

[WinkyDink]

19. Across state lines = federal.

[mak3cats]

5. When the perp is a Democrat...

...the fucking Republicans have used language against us for years!

[Kingofalldems]

14. Howcome Vitter didn't resign?

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I'd like to know that too, although I still want Spitzer to.

:hi:

[salin]

18. Have to say...

I agree with you! :hi:

[JI7]

21. because he gave tens of thousands of dollars
