				<p><strong>Hooker Rehab</strong></p><p>Well it's been detemined you can't say hoe no moe. Ain't real smart to get caught with one either if you're a republican governor who used to be a crime fighter. </p><p>
Looks like time for a little rehabilitaion, go to hooker rehab, join prostitute's anonymouns, make the meetings, do a little community work. Just watch which side of the street you work. </p><p>
Looks like someone wore a wire and he is going to have to wear an electronic leg bracelet. Its all about getting naked and skipping the small talk, he would have spotted the wire or if he had kept his mouth shut he may have skipped the CNN roll around. </p><p>
Speaking of rolling around, No, I won't go there. I just hope if they take his limo and driver he don't get hit by an undocumented with a New York license. How Ironic would that be!

<p>The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.</p></p>

				<p><strong>Technically,</strong></p><p>I believe the term for his part in the world's oldest contractual economic relationship is "john."</p><p>
We in New York are of course all eager to hear about why he was behind in paying his account, as well as what "Kristin" meant when she said that her hour with the governor "went very well."</p><p>
Pomp, Spitzer is unfortunately and embarrassingly a Democrat. &nbsp;He has had a wonderful progressive agenda, but he already made some significant blunders with the Republican state senate in Albany, so his effectiveness has been uncertain for some time now.</p><p>
There is no way he can survive at this point, say the pundits. &nbsp;Well, that may be just as well. &nbsp;And the situation may be very good for Hillary, who will surely be asked to comment, and might have all kinds of juicy words of sympathy to send to Mrs. Spitzer, the aggrieved wife of a philandering husband.

<p>Chickens deserve our true friendship!  So do fish!  So do other sentient beings!  Let us learn to be kind.</p></p>

				<p><strong>Class Ethics</strong></p><p>&nbsp;Bill Clinton was one of the most intelligent enlightened progressives of our time and he was the peoples president. The reason he was teflon coated was that the middle and working class understood him. Millions spent to take him down by the conservatives, out of controll prosecuter hounding him for the duration of his presidency. </p><p>
A mythical working class hero who come back everytime they thought they had him cornered. His supporters could understand him dragging a $100 threw a trailer court and finding the catch of the day. What they can't understand from a democrat is a $5500 dollar an hour hooker, especially if it ends up being on the tax payers dime. </p><p>
They also have a code in which they live by, you buy the beer when it comes your turn and you never welch on a hooker. Its just a professional courtesy we extend to those of us that have to work for a living. </p><p>
Bill understood the code, oh you can tell a red faced lie and get by with it if its to keep the ol lady from finding out you been fishing in a forbidden pond or putting her possible future as president at stake. </p><p>
Bill was low rent and kept his tab paid, hard to fault a guy like that. Just a hard ol dog to keep under the porch and with an ol lady who did not understand him. If he had been caught with a $5500 an hour hooker he would have lost his base. Thats gonna be a hard sell to the $50 dollar crowd. </p><p>
They say politics makes strange bed fellows, if you are touting yourself to be squeaky clean and the new Duddly Do Right, ya better leave the strange alone. 

<p>The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.</p></p>

				<p><strong>Frueudian Slip</strong></p><p>Sorry about the affiliation snafu, just wishful thinking on my part I guess. The $5500 an hour threw me. Not typical democratic values exhibited here. </p><p>
Not the buying a hooker part, the price range!

How many victims of insane drug laws has he helped incarcerate? &nbsp;This pig should go down hard, but he'll walk.</p><p>
Who gave him the 4300 bucks? &nbsp;A lobbyist? &nbsp;

				<p><strong>Yes: that shocking hourly rate!</strong></p><p>Pardon me, I am not much of a connoisseur about these things, but what could possibly take place in the course of an hour that is worth that kind of fee? &nbsp;At what point does one know that one is really having "good sex"?

				<p><strong>Dr Ruth</strong></p><p>I feel this is beyond the typical TV sex therapist to explain. From what I hear the guy was talented but obviously on a power trip. They say that power can be a powerful aphrodisiac.</p><p>
I don't know what kind of sexual gratification you can buy for $5500 an hour or how long the glow last afterwards.</p><p>
One can only assume the instant gratification even if it met his wildest expectations will not cover the lifetime of hurt and shame he brought upon himself and his family. </p><p>
That's probably going to end up being the most expensive piece of @*# he ever purchased, literally!

				<p><strong>At what point</strong></p><p>I doubt we will ever know Canis, given the ass-tronomical price. &nbsp;</p><p>
5'5" and 105 lbs? &nbsp;That ain't "petite", it's malnourished.</p><p>
Political power is aphrodisiacal, so these people in power need a minder, like Barack (his wife) has, or interns and movie stars are going to tempt him into a scandal. &nbsp;Spitzer's wife doesn't look like she is frightening enough to do the job.</p><p>
So he opted for a "clean" hooker. &nbsp;The unsafe sex reference in the sex worker's statement impied that. &nbsp;This no condom (most likely anal) sex requires a very expensive fee to insure against disease.</p><p>
But consider this. &nbsp; Large fees and wealthy customers are no protection, these high earning sex workers have sex with wealthy individuals who can afford to have sex with a lot of people, who also have sex with a lot of people.</p><p>
Ancient Rome comes to mind. &nbsp;Another sign of the fall of empire. &nbsp;Remember the sex scandals at the demise of the british empire?

				<p><strong>Free Market Advocasy</strong></p><p>This just puts inflationary pressure on a heretofore cheap and plentiful commodity. I suspect a powerful p*#@y lobby behind this. </p><p>
Uncalled for during this depressed business cycle and times of inflationary pressure on all commodities at this time. </p><p>
I suspect the Fed will call for a round of interest rate hikes to fight this inflationary trend developing in the market. </p><p>
Bernanke has to go, Paul Volker would have acted immediately at the first hint of an upwardly inflationary cycle. </p><p>
Although this may develop more interest in the generic or toy market, there is always an environmental impact when you increase production in the silicon and plastic sector. </p><p>
Battery technology has made some advances in size and portabiltiy but the disposal and damage to the eco system problem still lingers. </p><p>
On a more positive note CyberSkin announced a 10% increase for orders next quarter and its just been a couple of days since the scandle broke.</p><p>
President Bush when asked, being a hands on kind of guy, said he would take matters in hand and we could beat this thing. When asked for a time frame, he just said, "just until I need glasses" </p><p>

				<p><strong>Reality TV News</strong></p><p>In an effort to be serious I would like to remind everyone of the important environmental stories that got knocked off the radar today on account of this loser having to pay somebody $5500 to get laid. </p><p>
Chris Ed Rosa, the government scientist for the CDC who broke the FEMA story about the contaminated FEMA trailers. In a 7-year study of the great lakes that has been scientifically vetted, that proves a link from pollution to disease. Well the story was held back for a year by this current administration and he is fearful of losing his job because of his work in this area.</p><p>
The new global warming reports that places sea levels over a lot of our coastal transportation systems.</p><p>
Another global warming report that gives a ten-year window to bring emissions down to 0 in order to stop irreparable damage.</p><p>
The economy is in such a state that if the large oil facility in Saudi Arabia is taken off line by terrorist or accident we will see the economy go into a depression, not just a mere recession. I am of the opinion Chavez of Venezuela can have the same affect on this economy in short order, or losing the gulf oil or refineries again. </p><p>
I am sure there is no other white man on this planet that needed to get laid more than this uptight phony but I can't for the life of me see how this rates up to the level of importance to knock the Iraq and Afgan war, the economy and several important environmental studies off the air because the tax payers of New York helped this guy get lucky. </p><p>
This would have been an opportune time for those important studies to get the full attention of the News Media and the public. If only there had been a slow news day!<br>
