Ahh yes, because falling in love with a long time friend, then falling in a moment of mutual weakness is so much less noble than paying women to fark you.

/I like Spitzer on Slate

Doak: Ahh yes, because falling in love with a long time friend, then falling in a moment of mutual weakness is so much less noble than paying women to fark you.

Uh, yeah, actually. I'd much rather my girlfriend cheated on me with some gigolo for a bit of anonymous, stringless sex than if she fell in love with someone else she'd known for a long time.

Hell, I think people are generally way too sensitive about cheating anyway, but having your SO say "Oh, I wanted a bit of strange with someone different, just to get it out of my system" seems way better than "Oh, I've known this person forever and our feelings were so strong we just couldn't help ourselves!"

This isn't really defending Spitzer, he's a hypocritical fark and Mark Sanford has handled his affair better than some. But I have to say, I'd much rather be cuckolded by a prostitute than someone my girlfriend actually cared about.

 
Mentat [TotalFark] 2009-06-28 10:55:48 PM  
Spitzer was an idiot. He was on pass for a Senate seat at least. He saw a lot of the crap coming from Wall Street before it happened. I hope he can come back from all of this.

Interesting theory. Given a choice between "Yeah, I farked somebody else, but I have no emotional attachment to them," versus, "Yeah, I farked somebody else and wrote them long love letters," I think most people would be more pissed off by the latter. Some people would be pissed off if their partner didn't actually fark someone else, but just sent them love letters.

Just bareback. Apparently he was pretty pushy about it and the "service" had to warn the girls to be ready to fend him off.

Which party is the party of "family values" again?

The reason Democratic sex scandals don't tend to stick is because, while we might be cads as well, we're not also hypocrites. It's the hypocrisy thing that really gets the whole sex scandal thing to stick out.

 
kleppe 2009-06-28 11:15:08 PM  
The difference is what Spitzer did was illegal.

 
Harry_Seldon 2009-06-28 11:15:40 PM  
Was Spitzer a competent Governor regardless of his fondness for high class hookers?

What middle aged man wouldn't pay to have hot young chicks if budget allowed? You pay one way or another, why not just be upfront, and save time.

Sanford used public funds in regards to his affair. Also illegal.

Um... besides Chelsea Clinton Is Carrot Top's Lost Twin's point...

He's the governor of a state and disappeared for five days. Nobody knew where he was. Let's face it, for at least two of those five days we were at least a little concerned he might have died. Then he came back, and lied about his whereabouts.

That's pretty clear dereliction of duty. Egregious deriliction. Egregious, scandalous, magnanimous, fantantamous, obsequious dereliction.

I'm sorry, which party had a governor who was found to have skipped the country chasing some strange in the last two weeks?

Which party/political group has had nearly a half dozen sex scandals involving homosexuality after condemning it?

Which party has had several dozen sex scandals?

Which party is led or find guidance in individuals with multiple marriages?

Now, which party claims to be the party of morality and family values?

LincolnLogolas 2009-06-28 11:40:47 PM  
At least Spitzer was giving a job to locals, as opposed to outsourcing his infidelity to Argentina. No seriously, at least Spitzer didn't ditch out on his office for several days without telling anyone for his sexcapades, which used taxpayer money.

I honestly don't care who boinks who, provided that they do their damn job. Sure, Spitzer looked like a hypocrite for what he did, but at least he didn't abandon his post.

I would like to respond to everybody in this thread who is cheering for a side. Both guys are heels. I don't care if you want to try to say one guy is "better" or "worse" because frankly, if you are making that argument, you are probably doing it for partisan reasons and not accurately evaluating the situation.

This is an entirely subjective matter, guided largely by our individual prejudices. Politics certainly make that list. The important fact is that both clearly crossed a line, not what their metaphysical landing point is.

When I was in high school I read Stranger in a Strange Land and it has affected my view on relationships ever sense. I would probably be hurt if my girlfriend farked someone, with no emotional attachment, without asking me. If she asked I'd probably feel some pain (the "I'm not good enough? Why?" kind), but I'd think it was selfish to feel that way. But if she loved someone else. . . that would be a great, great pain.

I guess I don't view sex as something exclusive to love or relationships. Sex is a pleasurable activity, there is a great variety to lovers, I perfectly understand wanting something different.

Eh, I don't think so. They are very different situations. In terms of hurting the wife, Sanford is worse IMO, for reasons I all ready explained. In terms of which disrespected their office more, Spitzer is worse, because he used public funds for something he had gone after people for as AG. In terms of which is worse overall, it's hard to say.

I don't think Spitzer expensed his whoring. I might be wrong of course.

I think he expensed the travel to his hooker, not the actual hooker, IIRC. Did it ever come out if Sanford had done the same?

Strange, unfamiliar, previously unknown.
"New" might be a better term but "chasing some strange" is by no means uncommon.

There are two significant differences between Spitzer and Sanford.

1. Spitzer didn't disappear for a week.
2. Spitzer resigned.

A "moment of weakness" he flew out there like 3 times and sent countless emails and to my knowledge still does not plan to break up with her.

1. "Moral" needs to be put in quotes, because it's bullshiat
2. Only the elephant should be attempting the bullshiat hurdle activity
3. The elephant should be much closer to the ground

Good god, that's some epic fail.
