I didn’t think Democrats quit over scandals involving sex. A while ago, Ted Kennedy put the bar pretty low for what’s allowable behavior for a Democrat politician, but I guess popularity plays a part of it. If Spitzer had a friend left, he could probably stay in as governor and make a speech for the tolerance of john-Americans. Then again, there is the hypocrisy. Usually a Democrat wouldn’t have any hypocrisy with a sex scandal since they have no standards in that area, but Spitz had prosecuted prostitution rings before so he hits the hypocrisy anyway.
So do you think the lesson Democrats will learn from this is to have higher standards of themselves in personal behavior or be even more careful not to be linked to any moral standards so you can’t be called on them?
“Moral Standards” are something that liberals TALK about. Indeed, they are quite adept and TALKING about everything, and DOING nothing.
As Leona H. once (almost) said, Moral Standards are for the little people.
I predict they will learn neither lesson.
Democratic scandals always go down the memory hole.
This will not be mentioned ever again by the NYTimesWashPostCNNABCCBSNBCetc.
Spitzer’s a Democrat? Odd, that doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the reporting….
It’s like everything else, if the Republicans get caught doing the same thing, they crucify them!!! If Democrats get caught doing it, then they want to legalize it!!!
Maybe Spitzer gets held to a different standard because he’s . . . a joooooo!
john-americans. Heh.
What are these moral standard things of which you speak?
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I hope to change the hope of the Bush administaration that the Democratic Party can change and demonstrate moral standards.
Barrack Obama does not have the experience to develop the proper lack of moral standards for a Democratic administration.
I will be ready from Day One with a demonstrated lack of any moral standard.
I denounce this stadardcentric blog and all of its standardist readers! The Democratic Party has the best ethics in the history of this nation, unlike you standardist conservative @##$#$.
I am John McCain and I approved this endorsement of the ethics of our new Democratic Overlords.
When asked why he did it the ex-Gov said – I want a swallower not a Spitzer!
Why is he getting all the attention? I by comparison paid way more for my fabulous haircuts then he did for an hour of nooky.
It’s not fair.

Don’t get upset Silky. Go find yourself some hookers. But make sure they’re women. People wouldn’t pay you any attention if they heard that John Edwards was with some gay hookers. That’s like hearing that the sun came up.
The governer should follow the example of Larry Craig.
You have to understand that the man is Very Deeply sorry [that he got caught].
He did have a good ten year run at it though.
And he’ll always be able to sell Chevy’s in Cleveland.
Does that prostitute have a brother?
My husband and I will get past this and I will run for the Senate in Arkansas and then on to the Presidency!!
