Republicans try, unsuccessfully, to hit Dems over Spitzer
Given the humiliating difficulties facing the National Republican Congressional Committee, I guess it's not too surprising the gang would try to connect Democratic House candidates to Eliot Spitzer's scandal, but this is just weak.
The NRCC, which is broke and in danger of sustaining more House losses, is grabbing at the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal like a lifeline, sending out e-mails about Dem incumbents with the following title:
"Will John Hall Return Spitzer's Sleazy Money?"
So far we've received five e-mails over at TPM: Three messages targeting freshman incumbents Michael Arcuri, Kirsten Gillibrand and John Hall, plus two against challengers Dan Maffei and Eric Massa, all of whom the NRCC says are now "ensnared" in Spitzer's scandal.
To appreciate just how sad this is, consider that The Corner is dismissing it as nonsense: "Spitzer's moral turpitude has no bearing on the contributions he makes to candidates in his party. Unless the money was stolen, its return is a public relations exercise with no basis in moral reality."
Plus, any money Spitzer donated to candidates was not money going to hookers.
This will quickly become a non-issue.
The AMerican people have become so desensitised since the republicans decided to murder a million Iraqi's that who cares about a little sex? Isn't murder more inportant?
Applicable to so many things the republicans do these days...
OMG....you mean to tell me there's actually a Democratic politician in trouble in a sex scandal?
Geez....I guess the other 10 Republican/GOP Adultery/Pedophile/Self-hating Gay Sex scandals have numbed the public & CM (corporate Media) to a point where its ho-hum, another day another GOP/Republican sex scandal....
But...hey...this is B I G news....
To appreciate just how sad this is, consider that The Corner is dismissing it as nonsense: “Spitzer’s moral turpitude has no bearing on the contributions he makes to candidates in his party. Unless the money was stolen, its return is a public relations exercise with no basis in moral reality.”
Kind of surprising that they would acknowledge this, but it's still pretty funny to read The Corner's pontifications on what constitutes "moral reality".
I've had a complete change of heart about Spitzer. He doesn't have to resign, nor does he have to apologize to anyone other than his family. If Craig and Vitter can stay in the Senate, then Spitzer can stay in the State House. I want to see him get up there, drop some f-bombs on the Republicans, and tell them:
I'm not going anywhere.
"You f-ing with me, you f-fing with the best!
Impeach me!"
James Ratliff @ 3:
Look, the Republicans in NY are going to impeach Spitzer over gorgeous prostitutes...
The Democrats in Congress have been afraid to even stand up to Bush, let alone impeach him for the high crimes he's committed. Everybody knew Bush deserved impeachment, but the dems never thought it was politically feasible.
Framed up like this, the democrats will once again look like a bunch of cowardly ninnies.... Repubs are gonna take Spitzer down with impeachment (if he doesn't quit), and most people will be unsympathetic to the idea that he was targeted, that this is private behavior, whatever.....
And this will take impeachment off the table for heros like Wexler.....if Pelosi suddenly takes an interest in impeaching the one who deserves it, it'll look like payback for slamming spitzer....
frankly, i hope spitzer stays and fights and refuses to resign, only because the republicans are threatening impeachment....
that said, i still think spitzer is a dumb dirtbag who should take his private problems back into the private sector once he's done with this term
Dhalgren @ 7:
I agree with you, only because the Republicans are threatening impeachment...
But I don't think it does anything but underscore that republicans are dirtbags too.....
and spitzer had a much higher national profile...like it or not, this guys been a hero going back to 2000 or thereabouts...
vitter? never heard of him, some kook in the congress who used to slobber about clinton...
spitzer? national hero destined to be president one day...
this is bad for all sides....republicans win when everybody gets cynical, cause only the crooks and the zombies show up to vote
That's what I've been saying. Spitzer was a crusader against primarily financial corruption, not moral. So unless he was using government money for his whoring he can't really be accused of hypocrisy.
However, that's not to say resignation shouldn't take some serious thought.
Perhaps Spitzer could serve in some other capacity for the citizenry of America from corrrupt Corporate Interests.
I understand there's a vacancy where Ralph Nader used to be.
I have to admit I'm having a bit of a problem with the double standard here. Everyone on this site was all over Vitter when he was found doing the same thing. Shouldn't both be getting the same treatment?
we're acting just as bad as the republicans. Defend the party member till you're blue in the face, no matter what he does. Spitzer is an arrogant, hypocritical prick. How can this site, or anyone for that matter, defend him?
Before Monday, Eliot Spitzer was a rising star in the Democratic Party. Now, after being linked to a prostitution ring, political advisers are split over whether the New York governor has a political future.
www.cnn.com
So is he a Dem or Rep?
It's amazing that the Republicans want to talk about sex scandals. Because apparently they think the American public won't remember these Republicans:
Mark Foley
Larry Craig
Ted Haggard
Bob Allen (McCain's campaign director)
Glenn Murphy Jr.
Among MANY, MANY others.

Craig @ 12:
Exactly.
ysbaddaden @ 11:
if spitzer was a single guy, nobody would care, and most guys would be honest about envying the SOB....(whoweee those ladies were hot)
but he's married with kids.....
he's a dirtbag by all definitions (except european?)
I still hope he squares off with idiots like King though....
"I agree to resign if President Bush agrees to resign....otherwise, impeach us both"
Hooks @ 13:
I think if you search the very first Spitzer story you will find me, at least, calling for his immediate resignation.
What's germane here is that the R's don't seem to have an ironic bone in their bodies and can't understand how silly it looks for them to be pointing at Spitzer screaming: "Sex scandal! Sex scandal!"
It's like them coming across the room to point at the single dusty porno tape in the Democratic closet while the blood-soaked bones pour out of the closet on their side. Utterly absurd attempt to transfer their own massive amounts of sleaze.
What the Corner made a reasonable statement? That calls for an investigation. Dont be misled by NRCC's money woes. The national party is sitting on seventy million plus. They can spend that anyway they want.
Repugs to Dems:
"he is evil,evil evil!"
Dems to Repugs:
"well, at least he's not gay"
The question is:
"When will the Republicans return the donations they got from the hookers"
9 out of 10 prostitutes prefer Republican candidates because of their quicker ejaculation times.
Craig @ 12:
Definitely! In the end, nothing should happen to either one.
What's with the power/wick-dipping thang? At least there weren't DIAPERS involved.
A plausible statement might be I'll resign when Vitter does.
If he can put his wife up there on that podium for those two very painful minutes, then he can live through an impeachment. Let's put impeachment on the table - nationwide.
Arnold. Dick. George. Eliot. Let's make a list.
slippy hussein toad @ 19:
This is a very valid point and I agree with you 100%. For the republicans to act up over this (or at least to an extreme) is not only retarded, but insane. They have no leg to stand on and the dems need to come back forcefully instead of lying down as they usually do.
This is why he he was too busy to conduct a criminal investigation of the 9-11 murders of 2001
What treatment is that?
Mark Foley had to be pushed to resign by Denny Hastert, who subsequently stepped down himself, and just lost his former seat to a Democrat.
David Vitter refused to resign and is still serving.
Larry Craig said he would resign, then changed his mind, and is still serving.
I certainly wouldn't scream foul if Spitzer saw fit to resign. Nor is it unreasonable for Spitzer to insist on fighting any charges (he's not been charged with anything, therefore, there's really no reason for him to resign).
Any hypocrisy will be quickly evident on the Republican side, in calls for Spitzer's impeachment.
The sad part is that the Democrats will sit there and take it in the ass ... again.
moondancer @ 24:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Vitter didn't bring down a prostitution ring (2 of them). Perhaps Spitzer was just erasing the competition for profit.
Hooks @ 29:
But Craig did run of pro-family anti-homosexual issues.
That poor wife looks like she just had a 24 hour meltdown. I wonder if she knew a thing about it.
Shadowgm @ 28:
And republican pages.
Hooks @ 29:
Vitter was going after Clinton hard on impeachment, while he was lewinskying whores....
Vitter was a vocal part of an army of idiots that brought down a president.
i think the analogy holds,..
Well over at two of the democratic sites they are trying to hook it up to Hillary. And they should be ashamed of themselves. So....the guy went to a prostitute...I don't see where it is a big deal, except it is against the law and it shouldn't be. I'm a woman who has been around for 76 years and I don't know why it isn't legal. I guess because the "holier than thou" crowd wants to delete anything pertaining to SEX out of the English language even...
One poster said this would disappear...oh no. The MSM will keep this in the public eye for months maybe even up to election still trying to hook the Dems to it. And by the way..how did they find it out. Wiretapping. Wonder what else bush and the republicans have in rove's dirty trick bag they "wiretapped" about the Democrats.
Spitzer has to go.plain and simple.He used to be a DA.You can paint this anyway you like,it still comes out ugly.Hypocricy? Yes! I don't care what party they belong too,I'm sick and tired of the hypocricy.And if we're going to go after the GOP side,we better keep our own house clean as well.
ysbaddaden @ 30:
I'm not excusing Craig one iota. The republicans should have forced him to step down. Just like the dems should force Spitzer to step down.
Marge @ 34:
I think it hurts obama in a general indirect way...

Spitzer: Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now?
Here's a good reason we should want Spitzer to stay and fight. Look at Ace flip-flop over Spitzer and Vitter.
GOP Defends Spitzer’s Prostitution Activities, But Slams Him For Doing It With ‘Undocumented Hookers’
Anyone who watches The Wire understands what went down here.
Wall Street reportedly cheered when the story broke. The Dems are poised to take over the NY State Legislature for the first time in like 50 years. Note that the inquirery was Federal, not State.
Sure he's fucking around. But they all are. This is politics.
Like Omar in The Wire said, when you go after the king, you best not miss...
Wall Street is King.
Cheers,
Petruk
Republicans are pathetic. So are any Dems who fall for this and demand Spitzer's resignation.
mudshark hussein @ 35:
Exactly. You can't burn the candle at both ends.
Petruk @ 42:
Good post.
Agreed.
with so much at stake in this election,this dumbass goes and does this.Fire his ass,if for nothing else,stupidity.
Otay @ 43:
Fall for what? It was on a fucking wire tap. You don't think Spitzers lawyers will ask for discovery on this issue? If they do, and nothing happens, you know the budding issue will be that illegal activity was done on said wire tap.
"Spitzer got got" - Omar
you gotta admit, this is a doozy.
spitz needs to resign immediately and save the dems from the scandal that has plagued the repbulican'ts.
The "Leebrul" NY Times broke this story. I'm wondering what wingnut talk show or cable news radio host is going to question the timing of this story in an election year?
Our leebrul media at work!
Hooks @ 47:
he might be able to fight this because of the wire tap.Legal? or Illegal?
regardless,the guy should be fired,for stupidity and hypocricy.
mudshark hussein @ 51:
If anything, a wire tap is more detrimental to one's case. Now, if it was done illegally, the prosecution will not have a leg to stand on. But since Bush made wire taps more attainable, I don't think it looks good for Mr. Spitzer
Politics and Prostitution the two oldest professions working side by side.
Radically Moderate @ 53:
or is that one on top of the other?
While this personal scandal is another sad "soap opera" chapter in american politics..
Lets look at the big picture .... the REAL scandal that put americans in danger....
Spitzer blew the whistle when he testified two weeks before this all happened..
Predatory Lenders' Partner in Crime
How the Bush Administration Stopped the States From Stepping In to Help Consumers
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/13/AR200802...
"Several years ago, state attorneys general and others involved in consumer protection began to notice a marked increase in a range of predatory lending practices by mortgage lenders. .....
Not only did the Bush administration do nothing to protect consumers, it embarked on an aggressive and unprecedented campaign to prevent states from protecting their residents from the very problems to which the federal government was turning a blind eye.
...In 2003, during the height of the predatory lending crisis, the OCC invoked a clause from the 1863 National Bank Act to issue formal opinions preempting all state predatory lending laws, thereby rendering them inoperative.....
Spitzer is a dirtbag who should stay.
Make morons like King lead the way to his impeachment, and embarrass the hell out of cowards like Pelosi.
If Spitzer wasn't married with kids, this wouldn't be a story. They'd be high-fiving back at the capitol buidling, bragging about these hotties, forwarding bikini pics to the NYT..
This is all good for McCain.
Hooks @ 47:
Fall for demanding Spitzer's resignation when they did not demand Vitter's resignation. This event was relatively minor compared to what the media and Dems should be focusing on. I'm willing to bet that a large percentage of people in D.C. have picked up call girls.
I'm sorry, He's got three teenage daughters and a wife and he's spending thousands on prostitutes while pursuing a public career based on his image of going after corruption?
The whole thing stinks - I say make him walk the plank.
Hooks @ 52:
He might be able to save himself if he can prove an illegal wiretap.He can turn this around,but still,how frickin stupid is this guy?During this election ,he goes and does this.
but on the flip side,if he can show some smarts.He can turn this around.
I wonder if he was set up?
It wouldn't be the first time the GOP has done something like this.
mudshark hussein @ 59:
Turn this around?
there's no legal issue here....
it's the way he treated his wife and teenage daughters.
and there's no way to turn that around....
stay and fight, but only to embarrass Pelosi and the cowardly nuts in DC...
VOTE DONALD DUCK in november
Craig @ 12:
Craig there is no double standard. In the Craig and Vitters cases they are both active so why shouldnt spitzer? if Spitzer steps down so shoul Vitters and Craig is a whole different story unless you are for toilet sex and you approve it for your children
If politicians didn't accept money from men who go to hookers, there wouldn't be any political parties. Prostitution is the worlds oldest profession. The reason why? Men like to buy sex. That way they don't have to worry about the other woman calling the little lady and blabbing everything. It's a business deal that makes them feel in power. It's also a way to get blackmail information on someone in power. This is why there's so much corruption in politics. This is why Bush wants wiretapping legal. So the repugs can get as much dirt on their opponents as possible and blackmail them into submission. This is why the new FISA bill must not pass with the immunity claus in it.
mudshark hussein @ 60:
set up?
you make it sound like getting caught is the transgression.
He's a dad. To teenagers.
He's a husband to a wife.
He took down several prostitution organizations when he was the fairytale goodguy prosecutor...
Set up? You mean like, did Zeus have a hand in it? There is divinity in the fall of a sparrow?
What ever happened to the steroid scandal in baseball. That should be more important
ohio progressive @ 61:
you're right about the personal issues.you'll have to forgive me,I started thinking in a political way.me,I like woody woodpecker.
Really - what is the background on the federal investigation? what are the feds doing trying to bust a high class call girl ring? I mean you can just go online and find hundreds of these outfits operating in the open - why this one? I don't trust the federal justice department which can't even enforce a supena from congress but finds the time to go looking into a high-class call girl ring in new jersey - it stinks and nobody is pointing this out - I know Spitzer was stupid for doing this but there is a bigger issue here about the justice department and its prioriites....
He's gotta fall on his sword. He has zero credibility.
I don't really care what the Repukes say or do.
Kos has this:
"Amazing how Senator David Vitter’s name never leaked out of the Justice Department after the arrest of the D.C. Madam, but Eliot Spitzer’s name leaked out of the Justice Department within a week of the initial arrest in the Emperor V.I.P. case."
The Republicans construct the frame and in a matter of hours if not days the MSM is promoting it as news. Don't underestimate the parasitic relationship between the Republicans and a corrupt and complicit MSM. It won't be long before the story is turned on it's head and the Dems will be playing defense concerning Spitzer's "political donations".
Ruthless People @ 69:
The warrantless wiretaps are proving valuable in the Republicans efforts to hold on to power. It's a good way to keep the opposition party in line. It also serves as an effective means of preserving Republican blind obedience.
So Spitzer has a ticket to the convention in denver as a commited delegate to Hilliary. Do you all think that Hilliary should should renounce Spitzers vote as she wanted Obama to renounce Louie Farraknon?
Hate to get back to the primaries, but that's what Hilliary would like?
First of all, Spitzer was incredibly stupid thinking he could pull this kind of shit off as governor and not get caught. That's some pretty piss-poor judgement on his part. It would be different if he was a nobody but he wasn't.
I understand that, technically, he was responsible for the transportation of a prostitute across state lines (NY to DC) which would make it a federal case. Christ, what a dumb ass!
Men are scum - especially men who are also politicians. We've plenty of evidence for this through the ages. Not only do they start/perpetuate wars that kill and maim millions, they also participate in illicit sex (and with Repugs it often involves persons of the same gender).
It's a shame how power corrupts, but this is just another "gotcha;" another scandal to distract our attention from the real crimes that are being perpetrated against our entire nation by the fascist, elitist, neo-con creeps.
Craig @ 12:
It's not the acts, it's the hypocrisy.
Watcihng the Repubs use Spitzer is a friggin joke! The Repubs, in spite of telling us how holy they are, have more skeletons in their closets then we can only imagine. My god, I beleive we are witnessing he fall of Rome.
Great the party with a landfill of bones in its closet wants to point at the other party's bones. That ought to make them look more ethical. OK fake Christian's please now turn to Matthew 7:3-5 in your bible and read it 1000 times.
Too bad this won't sink Hillary. Well at least he can't campaign for her now.
Harper's Scott Horton believes the Spitzer sting may have been a political hit. Because the investigation didn't begin with the prostitution ring, but with a bank tip and the IRS looking into how Spitzer was spending his money.
Collusion between banks and the government should be troubling to all people. $4000 is hardly a lot of money but that amount is said to have set off a federal investigation?!?!?!
Governer Please...!
Will Spitzer's hooker have to return his money, now that it's been shown publicly to have been gained through illicit means? Yeah, you could argue that's an illogical question, but I'm hoping that whatsherface on CNN will read it and prompt Wolf to ask it of Paul Begala.
Way to disgrace yourself, Elliot, and to heap shame upon your family. 5 grand for sex? Did she rebuild the transmission on his friggin Chrysler at the same time? Dude, that's like 200 BJs in St. Louis. Is stuff REALLY that much more expensive on the East Coast? You get what you give, Elliot, you get what you give. Thanks for nothing.

You're kidding? The Governor of New York State does something incredibly illegal, though seemingly not all that rare for a politician, and THIS blog spins it as if he's an angel and the republicans are just trying to get him out of office?! The website is called "Crooks & Liars"...doesn't Governor Spitzer's actions define this website, or are we only supposed to believe that Republicans are crooks and liars? While I'm a big fan of the site, I think you're off the mark on this one. I'd have expected slightly more outrage than "Look how the Republicans will spin this". How sad.
I haven't decided whether this 'indiscretion' should qualify as enough to boot the man from office, but I do think that since his platform in NY was integrity & ethics, and he has personally prosecuted several prostitution and human trafficking rings, he should probably resign. What a disappointment...
Let's not forget the voluminous listing of Repugnant Sex Crimes at:

There are probably Rove attorneys involved planted to turn the heat on Spitzer and other Dems.

You mean he's not? We Liberals take women's issues more seriously than the republicist party seems to. This guy is toast. This guy is a laughingstock. This guy needs a course in basic economics.
The NY State Republicans have announced that they will open impeachment hearings if Spitzer does not resign by Thursday morning.
So.....it begins.
Democrats! You will remember these days! Many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our dignity, they may steal our elections, but they'll never take...........!
ted @ 86:
Yeah, it is disappointing at a level. But try to remember the reason many right-wing sloths and toadies are celebrating this, who didn't celebrate but ignored Repugnant illegal sex acts (many involving children: see list above) simply because Spitzer went after white-collar crime, which led to Republicunts getting caught for real crimes (besides the sex-crimes they're famous for).
I say Spitzer should fight this, and fight it hard, see? And from now on if he wants sex, he should dress his wife up in little outfits and let her have it, instead. (That's what I do).

ANYTHING but the business of the state of New YOrk.
Hey there all you trolls, that's why the next election will be a MASS ABORTION of republicans.
Exactly! Probably another political hit on a Democrat just in time for elections. And everyone is more focused with waxing moral on Spitzer's sex life than with ongoing Bushie crimes.
Hey Leslie. What's the local NYC coverage of this like?
The big difference is Spitzer didn't sit on the (ever so loving) Christian Senate "Stone the Whores to Death" Committee like his sleaze bag, hypocritical Republican counterparts.
