Canadian Spitzers
Eliot Spitzer is the worst sort of scoundrel. We've been busy dredging up his illicit tale here on the Shotgun, but it isn't like his dalliances are rare. There are paramours on Parliament Hill, apparently.
According to one escort agency, "Politicians are very classy customers and that's what I want for my girls."
Right. Very classy. While insisting that prostitution is bad, bad, bad and should be illegal with one side of their mouths, they're busy doing just what they think the rest of us shouldn't with the other side of their... oh you get what I mean. No need to draw a picture.
I have nothing against prostitution. If you want to pay for sex, that's none of my business. What I do protest is the "good for me, but not for thee" attitude of the Spitzer's of the world. It's fine for him to visit hookers, but the rest of us hoi polloi are just too susceptible to the moral hazards of purchasing sex.
And that's what's wrong with Spitzer, says Valerie, an escort contacted by Sun Media:
"Eliot Spitzer deserves what's happening to him. He was a hypocrite. He shouted loud and strong that he was a righteous man and led a fight against prostitution while taking advantage of such services all the while. I'd say he was paid in kind," she said.

Many politicians are "arse lochs". Canadians still vote for them.

PMJ, well said.
dewp, Canadians will always vote for them, because polititians are people and people do things like that. Besides, what should we expect from a system that allows a minority to impose its will on the majority and then reward those who do the imposing?

In the US any male politician from any party caught with a 15 year old male hooker would be run out of office pronto.
In Canada the Liberals promote the scumbag to interim Deputy Prime Minister.
