Mark, I don’t want to pass any kind of moral judgment on you. I don’t expect people to stay away from this story just because I find it unappetizing. This is one time where I’m simply stating my own position to have it heard rather than passing any real amount of judgment on anyone else.

Bob, I’m assuming we disagree about the extent to which she *should* be a criminal. Since I don’t see anything worth criminalizing in her behavior, I stand by my position that her privacy is hers until she chooses to surrender it. As for Spitzer, the feeling I have is not disgust. I believe it’s called “glee”. Couldn’t have happened to a bigger jackass.

That would be the proven path, wouldn’t it?

Maybe she’ll be the next Senator from New York.

The person in this affair for whom I have sympathy is Spitzer’s wife. She may turn out to be behaving in what she judges to be her best self-interest, and she may have known about this for a while, but, still…

Easy, Ryan – I don’t think a mention in jest on Decision ’08 is going to compromise the young lady’s privacy – that on-the-record interview she gave to the New York Times, however, probably did the trick…

I am embarrassed that I voted for Spitzer.
As for criminals, Spitzer was having unsafe sex and then coming home to his wife.

You all should be embarrassed that you voted for Bush who in eight has hurt this country more than any other president. Bush has proven one idea of mine; that a president really isn’t that important the country rolls on no matter who got in there.

My last comment was too harsh on the woman. While she is a criminal, she does deserve sympathy.

But the idea that she doesn’t *deserve* privacy because she’s a prostitute is disgusting.

Disgusting? She is a criminal. Save your disgust for, I don’t know, Spitzer’s behavior. Save your sympathy for Spitzer’s daughters.

Want privacy, don’t be a prostitute. Or a politician.

Or am I being redundant?

“If she *wants* to be put out there”

Well, if she didn’t put out, she wouldn’t be in all this trouble.

Oh, I’m definitely keeping myself pure (on this particular matter). If she *wants* to be put out there, then that’s fine. I don’t object to her selling her own privacy if that’s her desire. But the idea that she doesn’t *deserve* privacy because she’s a prostitute is disgusting. I will have no part of that.
