A Political Sex Scandal!

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was connected with a prostitution ring.

The man described as Client 9 in the affidavit arranged to meet with a prostitute who was part of the ring, Emperors Club VIP, on the night of Feb. 13. Mr. Spitzer traveled to Washington that evening, according to a person told of his travel arrangements.

The affidavit says that Client 9 met with the woman in hotel room 871 but does not identify the hotel. Mr. Spitzer stayed at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington on Feb. 13, according to a source who was told of his travel arrangements. Room 871 at the Mayflower Hotel that evening was registered under the name George Fox.

The law enforcement official said that several people running the prostitution ring knew Mr. Spitzer by the name of George Fox, though a few of the prostitutes came to realize he was the governor of New York.

Of course, Spitzer is probably going to resign shortly, and being from Texas, I don't know much about his political activity. He's a Democrat, but that's irrelevant. Honestly, I find it abhorrent for anyone to break their marital vows, whether a prostitute is involved or not. However, I also believe it may be beneficial for prostitution to be legalized and regulated, much the same way the pornography industry is regulated. What two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home is none of my business, but when one of the involved is breaking a commitment (a la marriage), this is, at the least, a morally questionable act.

As an afterthought, maybe Giuliani can run to take his spot.
