why most of the major media refuse to mention that Spitzer is a Democrat,
although the party affiliation is mentioned ad nauseum when a Republican
is
involved in a sex scandal.

It couldn't be media bias, could it?

The undereducated must never know the truth, else the Democrats may lose
their base.

He paid for a hooker. bfd Misdemeaner most places.

Believe it or not, I'm not in the prostitution is evil camp - I don't
view it as a victimless crime, but on the other hand, it's not
something that is going to disappear from the face of the earth. I
dont' know what the answer is, but as a crime, I'm just not that sure.

However, if one is a crusading prosecuter who holds to a theoritical
high moral ground, who prosecutes and/or persecutes prostitution rings
and then uses those same services for whatever reason, then the
personal hyprocrisy is really the issue. Do as I say, not as I do
kind of issue.

Additionally, structuring payments to hide illegal activity is a crime
wether you agree that the activity is a crime or not. Transporting
prostitutes across state lines is a felony - Mann Act.

Complications arising from busting prostitution rings from one crime
family while not busting prostitution rings from a different crime
family (and this is speculation - I'm admitting it, but it is a
possibility) is the height of hubris not to mention illegal.

So it's not just all about sex - it's about crime and he committed
more than just one.
