Ha!  Hypocrisy, they name is Spitzer (this week)

Couldn’t happen to a bigger dick.

“I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my family and violates my or any sense of right or wrong,” said Mr. Spitzer, who appeared with his wife Silda at his Manhattan office. “I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public to whom I promised better.”

“I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family.”

No, asshole, you broke the law, sexually objectified a woman for money and there was nary a video game or handgun in sight, you sanctimonious prick.  You can’t even be honest when you are admitting to something for which you were caught red...uhh...handed.

Do I think prostitution should be legal?  Damn skippy I do.  Do I want the full might and power of New York State’s laws against prostitution to come to bear against Eliot Spitzer anyway?  You bet your sweet ass I do.  I dislike that hypocritical bag of wind almost as much as I dislike any politician alive.  Until prostitution is made legal, he should do frigging time for what he admitted to doing.  There should be a full investigation, legal action taken to remove him from office, a re-opening of past cases involving the women he paid for and any other high-ranking officials involved and ultimately charges filed against Spitzer.

He’s a dick, and this is gloriously delicious schadenfreude.  Oh the deliciousness, it is so tasty.  Good job electing that dick, New York!  Way to pick ‘em (he says, as a resident of a state that only recently got rid of a horribly corrupt governor).

*UPDATE*

Bye bye!

New York’s randy governor gave a red-faced resignation speech this morning in the wake of revelations that he patronized prostitutes while traveling on official business.

Effective next Monday Gov. Spitzer will cede power to Lt. Gov. David Paterson, making him the state’s first black governor and only the fourth in the nation since Reconstruction.

The Post broke the news of his imminent resignation at 8:38 this morning.

The best part?

“There is no agreement between this office and Governor Eliot Spitzer, relating to his resignation or any other matter,” Michael Garcia, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement minutes after Spitzer’s announcement.

He is SO doing time for this.  An example should be made.  Federal PMITA time if we’re all lucky.
