This whole effort to equate hiring a prostitute as the same as the ethics violations and corrupt business practices that Spitzer fought as AG is sooooo ugly that one could spit.
I mean, c'mon, he revealed schemes that were costing ordinary people to pay more for their insurance. He slapped down people who were a half-step from blatant self-dealing. He exposed such stuff as bid rigging.
This is the same as a paid-for toss in the hay? These things amount to "holier-than-thou"?
Oh, no.
I say this even as one who thinks that prostitution (as a business) ought to remain illegal and that Vitter ought to have resigned, as well as Spitzer.
