Spitzer: I Have Not Visited Prostitutes Since 2008 12:36 PM, Jul 24, 2013 • By MICHAEL WARREN
Eliot Spitzer, the former New York governor and New York City comptroller candidate, says he has not visited a prostitute since 2008, when it was revealed the Democrat was a client for a high-price prostitution ring. The Wall Street Journal reports:
A day after Anthony Weiner acknowledged that he continued sending lewd messages to women even after he resigned from Congress, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer said he hadn’t used prostitutes after his own downfall in 2008.
“Absolutely not,” Mr. Spitzer said when asked at a campaign stop at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal Wednesday if he had been with prostitutes after his resignation as governor of New York. “And we’re done answering those questions.”
Mr. Spitzer was on his second day of meeting with voters as he campaigns to become the next city comptroller. As he seeks forgiveness from voters for his own scandal, Mr. Spitzer said Wednesday that he did not think Tuesday’s revelations about Mr. Weiner would affect his candidacy.
“Look, I’m running my own campaign and have been since the day I got into this,” he said. ”So I’m gonna have no comment about that other than I’m gonna be talking to voters about what I have done and what my plans are.”
I haven’t visited them either, but at least with prostitutes I can enjoy getting screwed. With politicians, I get screwed and there’s no enjoyment out of it.
Yes but number 2008 was over a week ago. Old news. We are done with these questions.
How can ANY decent woman vote for this all clown?
Think JAPs
However he has been sending photos of his genitals to women and promising them bribes to keep quiet. Why doesn’t this clown just go away?
I think both Spitzer and Weiner should just beat it.
True Virtue
Way to take one for the team, eh, Eliot?
there are enough Jewish American Princes in N.Y. with crushes on Weiner to elect this putz?
bert, they all can’t be that stupid can they??
Grest campaign slogan:
“You can trust Client 9 for NYC Comptroller: Prostitute-free since 2008!”
He finally got smart and started paying with $100 bills instead of bank wire transfers. “Hello honey, you can call me Biff and I have what you want in cash.”
Hey, there's a camera! Weeeee, look at meeeee! Hey, hey, I haven't visited a prostitute since 2008! It's a 12 step program. Ya'll can applaud, now.
Well, keep up the good work Eliot! No backsliding, you here? One little slip up and you’d only be able to claim you haven’t visited any prostitutes in 24 hours.
“Beat me to punch.....great minds and all...or he could meet them half way....or he picks them up on the street....”
In fairness, Spitzer actually said the following:
“Absolutely not,” Mr. Spitzer said when asked at a campaign stop at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal Wednesday if he had been with prostitutes after his resignation as governor of New York
So I guess it all comes down what to the meaning of “been with” is. Seems like one could technically argue that phone sex doesn’t qualify as “being with” the person involved. Same with on-line interactions. The point is, when dealing with lawyers like Clinton and Spitzer, one should be on guard for the maximum feasible amount of word-parsing.
Weiner/Spitzer 2016.
The Democrat “dream team”
Hey Eliot, congratulations!
I stopped beating my wife last week. 3 days without a forearm shiver to my wife’s face.
Cool, no?
Whenever a politician says something of this sort, one can be pretty certain he (or she) is lying and wants to get out in front of the issue.
It’s great that they are asking him....What a joke!
Spitzer: I Have Not Visited Prostitutes Since 2008
This guy should be president!
All his opponent has to say is no prostitutes since 2004!
