Right now some marketing person at Twentieth Century Fox Animation is trying to get a hold of someone at the New York Post to use the above headline for the greatest marketing coup ever.
"Pick up. Pick up! Pick up!!"
(Added) If you go here you can read about fifty different versions of "I don’t think prostitution should be illegal, but….." . Looks like nobody wants to lose their "I’m cool about sex" cred.

David Does a Diaper?
Hell, I don’t think prostitution should be illegal (and you can put my “cool about sex” cred up against pretty much anybody’s) but…
I admit a certain nasty glee over the guy who spent a lot of time busting whores getting busted with one. Because in my experience, it’s pretty goddamned common, to the point where I think they want to keep it illegal just for the added furtive joy and the expanded possibilities for shaking whores down for sex on threat of arrest and prosecution.
Fuck whoever you want, under whatever circumstances you want. As long as the other folks involved are good with it, so am I. But don’t tell other people who and how they can’t fuck and then do it yourself.
Larry Lusts in Lavatory?
I don’t think prostitution should be illegal either, but I don’t have any sympathy for politicians like Spitzer (or Vitter, or Bill Clinton, etc.) when they get caught.
Knowing full well that if it becomes public it will probably destroy (or severely damage) their career, they still cannot keep their zipper up. It’s the arrogance, the childishness, the hypocrisy, and the stupidity.
Screw ‘em (pun intended).
Furthermore, what is it with these wives who stand beside these bozos during the mea culpa press conference? Send the ahole out there alone, fergawdsakes — or he can hire his Ho for the presser.
I’m not having that much success convincing people that Spitzer is a Republican. Why this shit works for Karl Rove and Merrie Spaeth and not for me, I just don’t know.
JDM3, thx, that was my first thought, too: rather than resign, Spitzer simply needs to realign his party affiliation with the newly uncovered facts. Screwing a high-priced prostitute while in office is a textbook example of Republican behavior. Heck, it wasn’t even a kid or another guy, so it barely counts as a misdemeanor in the GOP play book.
I suggest Spitzer declares with some remorse that he’s always known, deep down, that he was a Republican, renounce his straight laced Democratic behavior up until now, get religion, repent a bit, and then pretend it’s all behind him. Business as usual.
Resigning? That’s for pussies or Democrats (but I repeat myself).
I know! When Bob Hays got popped for buying two pounds of methaqualone from the FBI, i thought he should have put on a suit and gone to the Republican convention and said he’d found Jesus and was born again. He’d be in the football HOF, been at least a congressman from Dallas and still could have died a sad drunk junkie. I don’t understand why the GOP isn’t doing as well as it used to with candidates who are substance abusing deviates.
Well, at least we know he’s NOT GAY.
Um, no you don’t. LOL. Could always get worse.
At least Elliot didn’t need two wetsuits and a well-placed dildo in order to get it up. David Vitter, Larry Craig, et al must’ve snickered and thought: “Amateur!”
Suggest we refrain from getting all giggly over Spitzer’s place on the Kinkometer — at least until comment below is clarified. . .
“In a wiretapped conversation after the encounter, the prostitute, Kristen, called her booker to inform her that the session had gone well, and that she did not find the client ‘difficult,’ as other prostitutes apparently had, according to the affidavit.
The booker responds that he, in an apparent reference to Client 9, sometimes asks the women ‘to do things that, like, you might not think were safe.’ ”
Ironically, when you call that number someone comes over to “fix your plumbing.”
When I glanced at the headline I thought he meant Scott Horton. DOH!
It used to be that we worried that our public figues would be exposed as having feet of clay.
Nowadays, I worry that public figures will be exposed as having brains of corpus spongiosum.
captphealy, hey, with the current crop of legislators (on both sides of the isle — my disgust for politicians is largely bipartisan) even that would be an improvement — at least then they’d stand for something now and again…

Dunno, Lori; I’m married (although the Spousal Unit is not a politician) and if some smarmy asswipe from the MSM decided to “leak” details about my spouse’s sexual indiscretions, whatever those might be, I hope I’d have the oves to stand next to him and tell the rest of the vultures to go commit some actual “reportage”. I mean, I don’t remember Mrs. Spitzer, unlike Lorena Vitter, bragging on tape that she’d “Bobbettize” her hubby if he got caught straying off the reservation. If my husband had done something as spectacularly stupid as Spitzer seems to have, I would certainly
rip him a new onepoint out the error of his ways in private, but why give the enemies of your privacy any more ammunition?
