Elliot Spitzer...Its Hard Out Here for a Pimp...
Posted by Melina | 3:08 PM

Note to Elliot Spitzer: There is no wiggle room for you in things like Prostitution Rings!! What the fuck were you thinking? Text messages, emails?....
This is the tragic end of another career...and either he is being set-up by someone who has a grudge, or he is totally out of his mind!
Now I have heard everything.
Waiting now for the press conference, I have to say that if this isn't some major misunderstanding, then we've got a much worse problem than just evil wingnuts doing what hey decry...Jesus this is bad....
International prostitution ring...money laundering...
How exactly was he involved?

HuffPo via The Smoking Gun quoted the description of the Emperor's Club:
An international call girl ring that solicited wealthy male clients via a web site that rated its hookers on a scale of diamonds (and charged accordingly) has been busted by federal agents. The operators of the New York-based Emperors Club were named in a felony complaint unsealed today in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.


Dan Abrams is absolutely sputtering...
Crashing website mirror here: Emperor's Club

More about what this could possibly mean, to come.....

Update 3:15 PM EST
Spitzer's very short press conference:

…He failed to live up to the standards he set for himself and his office…sorry to his family etc…

And he needs some time now to rebuild the trust that he has wrecked up….

Alan Derschowitz on Phone to MSNBC : men think with a different organ of the body…and when men think that way they make terrible mistakes….

Dershowitz Claims that Spitzer was surely just a John, and that it has nothing to do with money laundering or tax scams...but how do we know that? I guess old Alan has his crystal ball out; or has known about this for some time and knows what the worst thing that they have on Spitzer is.

Tucker Carlson, the newly dethroned boy-prince of MSNBC, expressed his disgust at the specter of a grown man going to a prostitute! Prediction: Tucker is next getting caught in a men's room, or the like....
Tucker is gonna buy popcorn and go sit and wait for Hillary Clinton's statement on this. Heh...

If Spitzer thinks that this is only about him regaining the trust of his family...well...

Now...sources say that he is going to step down...

The shock is palpable!


Texts AND Wiretaps!...

Thanks for the site mirror. By the time I looked for it it had already been taken down. :-(

I mean, those girls are hot and all, but seriously? $5,500 an hour? Come on.

Melina

there has to be more than just than just pay for sex..... tho $5500 is a bit steep.....

even if it was, if they tie this ring to the mob or money laudering

forget all that

Spitzer is toast

d-cap...also he apparently transported said $5500 worth of bodeacious babe across state lines for the purposes of S-E-X! Can you imagine?
Impressions at 11:30 PM
Abrams is still sputtering.
Dershowitz is still making excuses for his bud.
Hillary is thinking of him in his time of trial...and his family! (but really, his superdelegate status!!!)
Tucker Carlson is still waiting for Clinton's statement.
Anderson Cooper's hair is still perfect in that icky kind of way.
MSNBC doesn't find this story important enough to pre-empt Lockdown!
But, Colbert leads with Spitzer's face with the word WHORES across the bottom.
("Spitzer was one hour late to his press conference today, but to be fair, he usually has a prostitute change his clocks for him")

He has admitted he screwed up and therefore also admitted that he was stupid. He had a whole lot of wealthy people gunning for him which should have made him ultra careful and suspicious. If he allowed himself to be set up then he needs to pay the price for being dumb and breaking the law. Granted the Mann Act is an antique but it is still on the books.
