Spitzer was caught making plans to visit a prostitute. And the media is freaking out!!!! I feel like the only one who is not surprised at the governor's faux pas. After all, he's a politician and a businessman. As far as I know, he's not practicing any kind of conservative religion. If he was anyone besides the governor of New York and people found out, it would be kind of sleazy, but nbd.
Of course, the real story is the fact that there is all kinds of hypocrisy going around. Spitz apparently was a big hooker-fighting kinda guy, and here he is patronizing the establishment himself. Journalists (many of whom are familiar with the business, I'm sure) are reporting on this like it's murder rather than a misdemeanor charge.
Is it bad? Sure, it's bad. It's bad for the persons involved as well as their families and society in general. (So you can see, I'm not pro-prostitution). But does a story like this deserve the panting, drooling reporters it gets? Doubtful. However, I am interested to see how long it will take for the book to come out, Uncovered: The Night I Almost Spent With Eliot Spitzer.
