Spitzer spritzes away Albany with call girl
Posted on March 10, 2008 4:49 PM
Everyone's heard of Eliot Spitzer. He's the guy who was the Attorney General for New York. He used to mix it up with everybody, especially the big money people on Wall Street.
The crusade took him all the way to the Governor's job in Albany. There's about a million news stories today that all say the same thing, sort of - this is the last stop in his political career, thanks to his affection for high-priced sexual attention outside the confines of his marriage...
The federal investigation of a New York prostitution ring was triggered by Gov. Eliot Spitzer's suspicious money transfers, initially leading agents to believe Spitzer was hiding bribes, according to federal officials. PhotosSee, bribery in the name of politics, that's ok. But money paid for sex, well hey, let's break out the scarlet letters and weigh Eliot to see if he weighs more than a duck. The Governor hasn't resigned yet, but come on, do you think the Bush Administration will pass on a chance to bust Eliot's balls after he chased after rich Wall Street Republican patrons?
It was only months later that the IRS and the FBI determined that Spitzer wasn't hiding bribes but payments to a company called QAT, what prosecutors say is a prostitution operation operating under the name of the Emperors Club.
