Elliot Makes a Mess; Hillary Cleans It Up. Why Does This Sound So Familiar?
(Alternate Post Title: Elliot's Mess: The High Price of Not Being Untouchable.)
At last, we're finally getting to see Hillary demonstrate the skills she learned during 8 years as co-president.
Ok, back to the subject at hand.
$5500 an hour?
I'm in the wrong business. I want to print up a T-Shirt that says "GW Bush (or Bill Clinton; I'm not picky) screwed me for eight years and all I got was $600!"
As a libertarian, I use the same position with prostitutes (pardon the pun) as pro-choice folks do with abortion: I want to see laws passed that make it safe, legal, and rare.
As a small government supporter I wondered how Spitzer could afford $5500 an hour. But, according to his wife, even at those rates, he probably only needed $2.93.
Including the tip.
According to Fresh Intelligence, Hillary has already scrubbed her website of all references to Spitzer's endorsement of her presidential aspirations. Based on this link, dated the day after she received his endorsement, that claim is not entirely accurate, although it is certainly true that Hillary's endorsement page is conspicuously lacking a reference to Spitzer's endorsement from May 14, pictures here.
All silliness aside, it will be interesting to see if the same folks who screamed to the high heavens about Larry Craig's hypocrisy will scream just as loudly over Elliot Spitzer.
