I live here in Albany NY and this has been the buzz story the last few days. I want to know everyone's thoughts on it. I did not care for him, he was very arrogant and had a negative impact on state workers I work with as well as others. Many other people feel this way, I never wish bad on a person but I think the state is in a much greater position with him gone
One of my professors said it best yesterday: "What is it with men in power? They just can't keep their zippers up."
I think Eliot Spietzer is a hypocrite. The guy is known to wear his badge of integrity proudly on his chest, and fast to criticize others who aren't up to his standards (thank goodness many aren't close to his standards). This is one of the few moments when I can say that I'm soooooo proud of my Governator! Arnold, you rock!
Anyways, back to the *CENSORED* in question. I'm not going to be too judgmental and point fingers on how he's such a naughty boy. What bothers me is his arrogance, like many politicians, who think they are above the law and have a warped view on reality. They live a double life, one of illusion and the other of self delusion. Clearly, in this case, the girl was not a victim, she's a high priced courtesan who's gonna make her $$$ during her Warhol's 15 minutes of fame. But in so many other circumstances, these girls are victimized, forced to underground brothels where they aren't allowed to leave and forced to service some of the filthiest people on earth.
Also, what I suspect the FBI is investigating is not just if he slept with a prostitute and paid for the service. Think about this scenario:
A Governor of NY frequents a high priced brothel. The owner of said brothel gives the Governor "special" rates, in return for favors. The Governor pressures the local police chief/commissioner to lay off of a particular brothel, special treatment. Tell me if this doesn't sound like racketeering and money laundering. BTW, my newest friend on Facebook is Ashley Dupre, lol. Gonna ask her a few questions, then take her off my friend's list before some of my uber feminist friends start bashing me, hehe.
