Sorry, y...Rich Lara @September 5, 2016 at 5:07 PM:<br /><br />Sorry, you're wrong. Plain and simple. <br /><br />Nothing "tragic & unnecessary" about it. It was as tragic as Keperniick's stupidity and predictable as snow in Greenland. On the other side, necessity is driven by sexual need and desire. Should we have a test for sexual compatibility, in terms of sex drive? What does one do... hang a sign around their head saying "I AM HORNY!!!"? That'd be quite a dating scene.<br /><br />Any idiot knows that power is an aphrodisiac for women. So??? How about consequences?<br /><br />Spitzer was/is a bad SOB. And Teddy Roosevlelt may have been a SOB, but he was a Vice President SOB, and then a President SOB, and rose to be a statesman. Sorry, "statesman" was never in the cards for Elliot Sptzer.... you have to somehow evolve beyond being an asshole lawyer. <br /><br />Yes, sex makes the world go 'round, and it is most powerfully expressed in a committed relationship. And that expression is best when it's reciprocal. When it isn't, you get what you get. Bill and Hill seem to be a bad match, in this sense. But Bill chose Hill. Keep that in mind.<br /><br />Sure, one could say Bill and Hill are a good match in a political sense, but it strikes me that the sex (rather, the lack thereof) might be a symptom, rather than the cause. Or maybe horny Billy married the wrong gal... since she sure ain't horny. That's a dig against the "change agent" thing. <br /><br />So here we are, trying to come up with excuses for why the marriage is the way it is. And maybe it is just the way it is... isn't that what the liberals tell us? That it's just all about the sex they don't have beyond the exciting honeymoon in Cancun?<br /><br />Well, don't ideas have consequences? Certainly preferences do! Don't intensities? It's not magic!Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-49517694284524761502016-09-05T17:07:45.058-07:002016-09-05T17:07:45.058-07:00W/due respect.

And similar corruption. I know it.<br /><br />TR was a moralizing SOB too. Practically a self-righteous megolomaniac. Did a lot of good.<br /><br />You need good SOBs to get the bad SOBs.

I'm with Trigger Warning... Spitz...Rich Lara, <br /><br />I'm with Trigger Warning... Spitzer was a bad, bad dude. Endlessly moralizing, and then he gets caught with a high-end call girl. And his wife joins him at the apology podium to escape public furor over this "victimless crime." Not a dry eye in the house. Karma, indeed. <br /><br />His prostitute wasn't an indiscreet bimbo, she got caught in the web of Spitzer's indiscretion with needing to come up with $4,000 cash per trick -- ostensibly so he wouldn't get caught. Spitzer was Client 9 at Executive Club VIP. His multiple withdrawals of cash tripped the IRS trace, and the IRS referred it to prosecutors. Spitzer was familiar with these kinds of investigations, and launched many himself, including those of prostitution rings. It was "structuring," the same kind of felonious money laundering that got former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert locked up recently. <br /><br />"As attorney general, [Spitzer] once broke up a call-girl ring and locked up 18 people on corruption, money-laundering and prostitution charges. He ruthlessly investigated the pay packages of Wall Street executives and was so familiar with shady financial maneuvers that he rose to become the top racketeering prosecutor in Manhattan." (Associated Press 3/11/2011)<br /><br />So he's not a victim, and this is not a "victimless crime." Just ask his wife and kids. <br /><br />Politically powerful people need boundaries. If they can't keep a marital commitment, where else will they cut corners? Spitzer was a rank hypocrite, with the ambition of Lucifer. <br /><br />As for Bill and Hillary, You may not care about their marital arrangement, but they certainly want to arrange your life as they see fit. And they've spent a lot of time and money making sure people don't know much about them and what they do. Their paranoia is legendary, and deserved. Just because powerful men are libidinous doesn't mean they need to talk down to us about their phony economic morality, or any other morality, for that matter.Ignatius Acton Chesterton OCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222603717128565302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-33474819372392876352016-09-05T11:27:56.329-07:002016-09-05T11:27:56.329-07:00"Sheriff of Wall St", indeed.
