Clinton Declines Comment on Spitzer

Last Updated:
03-11-08 at 6:34AM

SCRANTON, Pa. -- Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton carefully sidestepped questions Monday about the sex scandal engulfing Eliot Spitzer, her home state governor and political ally.

...

Coincidentally, a handful of Clinton's high-profile supporters have been forced to apologize for sexual misbehavior.

Early in 2007, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom publicly apologized for having a relationship with the wife of a top political aide. He blamed alcohol dependence for his actions and checked into rehab.

Shortly after endorsing Clinton in May 2007, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a rising Hispanic star in the Democratic Party, announced he was divorcing his wife after carrying on monthslong affair with a local television news anchor.

Susan -

Done.

Do as I say and not as I do is just NOT good parenting. Lying to and using to your family for public appearances is immoral. Pretending to be something you are not is also immoral. Abusing anyone to gain power is immoral. Taking money for blood is immoral.

CNN is showing Spitzer taking his oath of office with his hand on bible. The man is immoral. PERIOD. He lied to is wife and he lied to his God.

Birds of a feather?

I think Spitzer will resign and should resign.

Not sure how my post responding to rdorgan came out first. Well, Dean is first!!!!!

I really don't care about spitzer. What about McCain's trophy wife?

Let's get Obama elected.

Speaking of blood for money. More bad news in Iraq sadly.

Hillary Clinton is choking on the truth during her latest speeches in PA. Some folks just prepared to handle truth. Your body and the subconscious mind just doesn't know how to lie. It really doesn't matter how intense the programming has been. The evolution of survival will always prevail.

and if hq can't get this blog fixed, what does it matter about a new logo? how can u have a conversation this way.

Come on guys.

I should be #12 and I went up to #3.

As stephen colbert says "come on".

When the frequency of a body-mind consciousness doesn't match the frequency of it's words being spoken the body will always choke up. If a person is deliberately going to lie or is afraid of public speaking they need to drink a lot of water.

I find what Ferraro said almost as offensive as what Spitzer did, and why does Wolfson still have a job?

Michigan doesn't need to spend a dime to get past its joke of a 12 million dollar straw poll. Just name all District Delegates as unpledged, caucus and allocate at the District Convention and go ahead and elect your National delegates right well you are in caucus as many states do including Iowa, and it wouldn't cost a cent.

NY Repugs talking impeachment of Spitzer. Why in the name of all that's holy cant the despicable, cowardly, house dems do the same to Cheney-Bush, whose crimes dwarf Spitzer's?

1:07pm

The human body is in truth really more evolved than most of those who choose to be in possession of one. The body is a gift to humanity from the gods.

The lame excuses for not impeaching Cheney-Bush have been refuted repeatedly, but Dem defenders keep trotting them out.

1:09pm

From previous thread, 49., linda.

Let me explain about the charge against Spitzer. If the prostitution ring had worked inside NYS only, there would be no federal involvement and Andrew Cuomo might be the one faced with the issue of what to do about his own boss.

But the prostitution ring included services like transporting the prostitutes to whatever location the... urm... leasor wanted. As soon as this became an interstate enterprise, it crossed the line to being a federal matter and a federal crime.

Even if you don't think prostitution is a problem, it becomes a problem when chattel (which is what prostitutes who work for others are) is transported back and forth. It's a short and slippery slope to sex slavery in which the chattel simply disappears from one venue to appear in an unextraditable place far, far away.

The laws are extremely clear and especially to someone as well versed in the law as Spitzer. Moreover, he made arrangements to pay her travel expenses, so he can't even plead he didn't know a federal crime was in progress. Instead, he aided and abetted.

He can get up to 20 years for facilitating the transportation of this prostitute. That's the law, I don't write 'em.

Now, could she travel anywhere she wanted of her own free will, apart from her work? Sure, that would not be a crime. But her work is illegal in large measure because it reduces her very being to a state of chattel property, the transportation of which over state lines makes it federal business.

We freed the slaves once but it didn't take. Anyone whose body is being sold by another is a slave. This needs to end.

BTW, don't believe everything you read in the MSM about Spitzer the rising Dem star. Truth to tell, his star's been on the wane from the day he took office and his approval rating is right now about the same as Bush's, plus virtually everyone working for him hates his guts.

If there's anything nefarious here at all, it may be that the Dems were the ones who did him in. But I honest to God think he kept his pastime a pretty deep secret, just judging from everything I see and read here in NY. He has never in his life been caught in anything compromising, ever. Until now.

just prepared s/b just are not prepared

Oh, I'm still waiting for Hill to say, "Well at least Bill never had to PAY for it."

Just hearing her say that out loud would make the long slog through this vale of tears worthwhile. LOL

Spitzer won't be impeached. He has to prep for a federal indictment. He'll be gone before the week is out.

Reasons to impeach

http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_peter_we_080311_raising_the_dialog_o.htm

a. Misleading Congress about the need for a war with Iraq.
b. Obstruction of justice by telling Federal Employees not to testify before Congress and/or not to respond to Congressional subpoenas.
c. Misuse of the Department of Justice for political purposes instead of law enforcement.
d. Approval of torture for captured prisoners by the US in violation of ratified US treaties.
e. Not providing the due process guaranteed to a US citizen by our Constitution by placing him in Guantanamo Bay Prison camp without access to a lawyer for an extended time period.
f. Attempt to bribe a US citizen who was raped and illegally imprisoned with US tax dollars to keep her silent and get her to drop her suit against Halliburton and the State Department.
g. Approval of the spying on US citizens by the NSA without a warrant.
h. No-bid extended contracts and failure of government agencies to enforce rules and regulations on the businesses they regulate leading to the loss of billions of tax payer dollars from the US treasury.
i. Destruction of government records to circumvent accountability by Congressional oversight.

I would simply note that his speech proved a sophisticated understanding of world affairs, a deep knowledge about military consequences of going to war,

A healthy body doesn't live in a duality. It becomes diseased when it is polarized and lives in the fear of it's past.

fear of the unknown = death

Therefore death means there is no more unknown.

What is even more immoral, imo that is to sheepishly believe into shifting the morality fulfillment from ourselves to the next in a row “professional leader”, to be it Obama, or Clinton-she, or Spitzer.

I agree with linda b

Let's get Obama elected.

That is our #1 priority here, not Spitzer, who will resign when he gets a good deal. How much brain power does it take to realize that?

There has always been a lot money, power and control in keeping the illusion of death a secret.

volney

did the leak happen before a grand jury was convened?

I thought leaks from a grand jury were a bigger crime than prostitution.

like the guy with the money in his freezer, we saw vidoetape from a stakeout before an indictment, and here the press had transcripts of a wiretap

 the there is the question what is the penalty for bringing the male prostitute into the White House?

and if you get a lobbyist salary and the john doesn't have to pay at all but the taxpayer picks up the tab steering government contracts?

ask McCain, how business is done in DC?

I don't see how it hurts Obama and I'll bet it doesn't affect a single voter in Mississippi

Hi Kids

Blogging once again from Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego in Argentine Patagonia. Someone wants to use the one computer so I will write a note. Last night I slept like the dead for about 9 hours. I have all my chronic travel sicknesses, bronchitis, back muscle spasms, but so far I´am doing pretty good. Today we went to Lakes Escondido and Fagnano and doing so we drove across the Andes range. The place looks a lot like the north coast of the west coast of America but it is colder. We stopped for lunch at a ski resort I ate lamb which I didn´t know I like. It melted in the mouth. We had Calafate ice cream for dessert. Calafate is a small berry like a blueberry. It was almost a private tour. There was one Parisian couple and everyone kindly spoke English for the duration. On the drive we saw a dogsled kennel. It was interesting. I took a bunch of pictures so will show you when I return. Well the fellow wants the computer so I will give it up and maybe I can get it back in awhile. Don´t know what to make of Spitzer he seemed like such a star till he became governor. Adios for now.

light to moderate turn out in MS per CNN.

C'mon folks, vote for Barack.

Phil at 26.

I'm very hazy on the grand jury issue. The owners of the enterprise, four in all, were indicted the other day. Spitzer has not yet been indicted but expects to be as he has lawyered up with a top tier Manhattan firm.

I don't know if the same grand jury looking at the evidence against the proprietors would also be considering the evidence against the clients.

His federal crime would have been paying to transport her hither and yon, but that in an of itself could get him 20 years, and he sure can't plead ignorance of the law (even though it isn't an excuse).

BTW, the story keeps getting worse. Apparently he had numerous assignations over several years. So while he was still AG, and possibly during the times he was shutting down such "services" in NY, he was also patronizing one, which it now comes out is located in... New Jersey. So there was plenty of premeditation and planning, and my guess is the last stiletto to fall will be that this Jersey operation is mobbed up.

C'mon folks, vote for Barack.

The most important figures are the percentages to win the delegates.

The number of voters could be important so Obama can keep that healthy lead of popular votes as well.

Having been a poll worker for a decade, most 9 to 5 office workers come by early in the morning. Curing the day is a mixed bag. The late afternoon voters are the blue collar workers, laborers, and couples.

rdorgan, thanks for the youtube link.

Amazing.

Kudos to Obama

No problem.  Youtube is showing the power of the grassroots in this prez election cycle.  If Obama becomes our next president, a lot of it will have to do with the power of the online community (that Dean started incubating four years ago).

I have had enough of the Clintons' nonsense since 1999. I was happy to see them finely have to leave White House in 2001.
