Is trolling not a “new” word which describes this situation exactly?

Then I shall use it. And you, in turn, shall remark upon its use. Congratulations, our little quibble is complete.

Do the CU Dems even know anything about New York State Politics?

Screwing a prostitute is definitely, inarguably illegal. That is a problem. What Bush does is only illegal depending on whom you ask.

are full of shit. They focus on a governor for screwing a prostitute and overlook the fact that a president has been screwing the entire country for 8 long, sad years.

i could care less about what he does in his personal life as long as it doesn’t consume taxpayer money and detract from his job. i’m waiting until those accusations come out before i get upset.

you weren’t trying to make it partisan but you sure as heck reverted to one w/that bs about how the two parties haven’t been equivocally bad in terms of sex scandals

if it makes you feel better, poster 27 is a bigger jerk than you though

I wasn’t trying to make this partisan; track back and you’ll see I made comment #23. I was responding to 27 who decided that because of this, suddenly the Dems are the party of shaky integrity. There is no excuse for someone like Spitzer – or any politician – to have done this; for me he has let down the public, not his party/supporters, as the Dems statement suggests.

abroad where the US and a lot of US NGO’s have been instrumental in the fight against trafficking, etc

I disagree though—a resignation of Spitzer and/or prosecution will be an example to the rest of the world–in fact I was talked to somebody who isn’t from the US today and they said one of the differences they see here is that youre not untouchable from prosecution no matter how high you are. I think this cements that and I hope that it reverberates throughout the international community–some of the exploitation around the world occurs with the tacit or back handed consent of government officials.

As for damaging our reputation, we were able to effectively able to contribute to the international effort after the Clinton Impeachment so I don’t think this would be an issue. What’s ironic is that nyc has became one of the better places for prosecuting pimps, johns, etc and limiting trafficking in the city and in the local proximity.
