Apologies for some of the cruder and unwarranted comments previously.

Some people can’t view something as just ‘informational’, and insist upon beating it to death with the judgmental stick.

I have no way of knowing whether what you describe is ‘true’ or not but you make a persuasive case, and I think do fairly present the dynamics of this particular ‘transaction’. It is in the end, about POWER. On both sides.

I do however think that Spitzer is particularly subject to a tidal wave of public contempt because of the hectoring, javert-like, priggishness of his public persona. Frankly I have always disliked the guy’s little holier-than-thou act and am not at all sad that he is getting a taste of what he enjoyed dishing out to others.

In this case at least it really is not about the SEX. It’s about the man who himself. Say one thing but do another. Berate others for doing what you yourself do. Pretend to be the great adjudicator of morality while behaving as poorly as you desire because you are just ever so special.

Like I said — Can’t stand the guy.

Glad that he is now gone.
