Seven Diamond Spitzer: Ready for a VP Slot?

NY Governor Linked to Prostitution Ring

NEW YORK (AP) - Gov. Eliot Spitzer, the crusading politician who built his career on rooting out corruption, apologized Monday after he was accused of involvement in a prostitution ring. He did not elaborate on the scandal, which drew calls for his resignation.

Spitzer's involvement in the ring was caught on a federal wiretap as part of an investigation opened in recent months, according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing inquiry.

The New York Democrat, identified in legal papers as "Client 9," met last month with at least one woman in a Washington hotel, the law enforcement official said. The prostitution ring, identified in court papers as the Emperors Club VIP, arranged connections between wealthy men and more than 50 prostitutes in New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Miami, London and Paris, prosecutors said. Four people allegedly connected to the high-end ring were arrested last week.

The club's Web site displays photographs of scantily clad women with their faces hidden. It also shows hourly rates depending on whether the prostitutes were rated with one diamond, the lowest ranking, or seven diamonds, the highest. The most highly ranked prostitutes cost $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said.

Looks to me like Spitzer has all the qualifications for the VICE president slot on the Democratic ticket: rich, Jewish, debauched, and hypocritical. Plus he can pull the New York vote.

Hard to say what army this “soldier” belonged to and what war he supposedly went to. Maybe the whole thing was a hoax.

Natural-Born Morons

The liberal pinheads at the New York Times are pretending they are puzzled about John McCain’s citizenship because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone. Is he really an American citizen? Can he legally be elected president? Obviously the NYT has raised these weighty legal questions because their candidate is an African Muslim of uncertain parentage and upbringing. Just trying to even the playing field, I guess.

Let me give the NYT a hand here: What could the constitutional phrase “natural-born citizen” possibly mean? Well, in the context of the 1787 Constitutional Convention, the phrase can only mean someone born in the original 13 colonies! (Either that or anyone who is not a clone.)
