The news today of Elliot Spitzer came as a shock to all. The unfortunate thing is the timing. He has close ties with Senator Clinton and unless she comes out and obliterates the guy and dismisses him as an endorser of hers she is going to get frowned upon.

This unfortunately could hurt the Democrat's general presidential election in NY as well, though it shouldn't. You can't hold a whole party responsible for the actions of one man and if you can then the entire Republican party should have been shit canned long ago.

I think the one question that needs to be asked of Spitzer is, how could he? Hes young, got a nice looking wife, how could you just go and throw close to $5000 around at some slut you didn't know. 

He has to resign at this point and the sooner the better. I think the difference between this and Slick Willy Clinton is the fact that Spitzer paid for his booty call and from the description she was probably better looking than Monica. Thats not the point though, the point is, Slick Willy though wrong in his actions was consenting adults, he didn't pay for Monica. What Spitzer did, was illegal by law, you can't pay for or recieve money for sex, nor cross state lines for booty.

So the comparisons to Clinton should stop with they both have cheated on their respective spouses. You can tell already that Republicans are going to be all over that connection though and try to make it out like its a party wide thing.

The Republicans should bite their tongues though because we all know that they have a few skeletons in their closet that Clinton and Obama would like to rehash if it goes anywhere beyond that Spitzer should resign and be put on trial for his actions. End of story. Lets not make it out to be anything more than what it is and try to move on with our lives, Yes its disappointing that a politician as young, vibrant and his entire political future in front of him had to turn out to be a dirt bag but we can get through this in one piece.
