#1 Doesn't hold a candle to Charlie Sheen, who seems to have made it a practice to at some point retain every prostitute in the US who could fit into a cheerleader outfit.

#3 Good question, Steve. Dad hasn't died yet and he has never had a job that pays that well. So....

#4 in our culture we give kids money before we die.

#6 Under Eliot Spitzer, prosecution has been lifted to a profit making enterprise. In some cases, to settle out of court, corporations have paid huge sums to Eliot who then passed it around to prosecutors from other states. If nothing else, he has new ideas.

#7 Did he report his dad's money gifts to the IRS?
If not it seems the IRS could burn him over these whores.

#8 And I can as easily imagine him receiving payment from the Emperor's Publishing Media Group for services rendered. His finances need a thorough laundering.

#9 given the amount of money involved, 3dc has a good point. It wasnt just slipping him a $20 bill here and there ;)

#10 Is Wicked Models a company associated with the x-rated Wicked Videos production company?

If so are the women the same ones?

#12 Someone should watch all their videos to see if Elliott does a cameo. Too bad .com doesn't frequent here much. How about A5089? Up for it?

#13 funny... I couldn't respond with google search results and cache... just do the Wicked Models search.

#14 Someone should see if he didn't have some policies that lightend police investigations of prostitutes. Yeah this could be his belief, it could be cover-your-ass so the cops didn't see him, but it also could be that his visits were done on credit for an exchange of favors.

#15 it also could be that his visits were done on credit for an exchange of favors.

So, he can be charged as an unregistered lobbyist too?

#16 One fact is known ...
If Spitzer were prosecuting the case he would be ruthlessly uncovering every penny Spitzer ever made Legally or ill-Legally and then ruthlessly prosecuting him for each infraction and illegal money transaction.

And ruthlessly prosecuting Spitzer for any abuse of his Office Powers.

#17 Especially if Eliot were a Republican ...

#18 Mr. Spitzer was moving largish sums of money through his official governor accounts -- that's how the FBI discovered him. When this first went public, there was talk that the sums were donations from the holding company that owned the call-girl enterprise.

#19 Spitzer may soon declare himself a sex addict, seek treatment and say "I'm the victim here; the stress of doing the work of government during this federal administration resulted in triggering my condition."

(of course if he started going to prostitutes in 1998, he would have to blame it on the Republican led Senate instead of Bush)

#20 It's disgusting that any of you would refer to these women as "whores". They are prostitutes damn it! (Whores give it away; not that I'd know or anything)

#21 Dictionary.com defines whore as prostitute, Broadhead6. I believe the word you are looking for is slut.

/It's important to get these things right, lest one carefully insult the wrong person.

#22 TW, Isn't that carelessly rather than carefully?
