New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, touted in the past as the first potential Jewish U.S. president, found his political career on the brink of collapse Monday after he was accused of paying for a romp with a high-priced call girl, in a prostitution ring allegedly led by a man found with an Israeli passport at his home.

The Associated Press reported that U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael H. Dolinger ordered Mark Brener, 62, of Cliffside Park, N.J., to be held without bail after the passport and $600,000 in cash were found in his apartment.

Besides his thing with the ladies, this man provided a valuable service to the community: Providing the comeuppance for an arrogant, ‘rat politician. And what a mighty comeuppance it was!

How can anyone now deny, that there IS a GOD?

"Hey Nancy, Harry, lay off that Culture of Corruption Crap. This really hurts!"

[Kackikat]

Amen, and more to come from the dem house of cards. Let us continue to pray for all those skeletons to be revealed in the house and senate. Enough exposure of the hypocritical, and we may get our republ majority back.

Enough exposure of the hypocritical, and we may get our republ majority back.

Don't count on it. If anything, this sort of activity will make him even more popular in New York State. If Spitzer was governor of Utah perhaps, then maybe he'd have a problem.

Do not pop those champagne corks yet. The disgraced Democrat Spitzer has yet to resign. Given that the leftist Democrats have no shame, I would wait and see just as Hillary said that she will wait and see.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Hear,hear! This is going to be sweet.I wonder how he slept last night?LOL

Thank you, Lord!

[rep-always]

I don’t. THERE IS A GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RightFighter]

I don’t know how he slept, but in the “where” department, I bet it wasn’t with Silda.

[Mr. Brightside]

I wonder how he slept last night?LOL,/i>

I wonder WHERE he slept last night.

[Pearls Before Swine]

What? Is Joe Lieberman chopped liver?

As far as a Presidential nomination is concerned, he is now.

[sinanju]

Don’t resign, Eliot! You’re the perfect democrat! Long may you wave!

Like the NYT, just be yourself and screw those who don’t approve. Keep driving the voters away (I hope!)

[Humble Servant]

“...a prostitution ring allegedly led by a man found with an Israeli passport at his home....”

Are they setting up to suggest she may have been kosher?

[sinanju]

Wonder how Al Jazz and the gang are going to spin his ethnicity. I can’t exactly call it “religion” when it comes to him and his ilk.

[YOUGOTIT]

From what I have read it was not a first time romp but just the normal way of ________.

He had an account and was adding money to that account for future romps. So there must have been previous romps.
