As much as I would like to ignore this subject, it’s like in my face all the time. I’m trying to avoid writing about it because- I don’t know. Partly, it’s none of my business, I guess. Nevertheless, here I am falling into the wrath of politics. So, I’m writing about it.
Governor Spitzer has resigned!
That is huge for this city, and because it has everything to do with New York City, that is why I’m writing about it. Are you all truly surprised? Why? After all, the man is human! I’m saying this partly because nothing surprises me in NEW YORK, it’s NY! Many are hurt by his actions as they should be. He was trusted and looked up to. He is allegedly involved in a prostitution sex scandal.
” Spitzer, a former state attorney general who made his reputation as a law-and-order reformer, is stepping down after a federal investigation uncovered evidence that he brought a high-end prostitute across state lines and paid her to have sex, covering his tracks with a money-laundering scheme.
A rising star in the Democratic Party and touted as a possible future presidential candidate, Spitzer was barely a year into his first term as governor.”
“The investigation that led to Spitzer’s political demise was triggered last fall when banking authorities noticed suspicious payments being made from an account that was ultimately traced to Spitzer. The case was assigned to the federal prosecutor’s office in Manhattan, which at first suspected they might have a bribery case on their hands. However, authorities eventually traced the payments to a company called Emperors Club VIP, a high-end prostitution service that charged up to $30,000 a night. When authorities tapped Spitzer’s phone they heard him set up an appointment on February 13 with a call girl named Kristen at Washington D.C.’s tony Mayflower Hotel. Three weeks later, on March 6, law enforcement officials busted the Manhattan-based prostitution ring and the next day informed Spitzer that he was a target of their investigation.
The New York Times broke the story on Monday when it was reported on their website that Spitzer had informed his senior aides of his involvement in the sex-for-hire service.”
There it is folks! Make the call for yourselves.
