He'll resign in exchange for not getting in Federal legal trouble. He probably broke a Federal law related to "structuring" (arranging things so as to hide payments) which has a jail sentence of up to 5 years.

I jsut feel bad for his poor wife who has to go through all this publically - bad enough that he's been using call girls but then to have it covered in the national media, ya gotta feel sorry for the family.

<font color="purple"> I saw the look on his face in the Newpaper today, he had tears in his eyes and his lips were kind of absorbed into his face as he apologized, It was priceless. My US History teacher told the girls in the class if your husband ever came home with that look on his face to call your lawyer </font>

Stay tuned. There has been some discussion that I have seen (one place is the Charlie Rose show) that there may be more to this investigation than has surfaced so far. It doesn't let Spitzer off the hook, but politics may have something to do with the matter.

We are a support site. I have been here only a short time but I have yet to read a post demeaning an individual that came here with an issue(s) that many people without our perspective might find deserving of dismissal.
Some of us suffer with obsessions and compulsions that make no sense to anyone not suffering them.. Though his behavior more than disappoints me,,,I am a person who did suffer with behavior that was killing me and destroying some folks who I loved dearly. Moral, ethical or pure disease,,we all deserve a chance to face our frailties and to become what we were meant to be... If he turns his back upon this chance to face his demons and become a better person,,,then that will be the greatest of failures... I hope and pray that this man and his family find a way to forgive, heal and pass on the lessons of falling from Grace.. It is so hard to be human sometimes.. IMHO.

I understand Lennys' point cha cha .!!
However ,,, Ya spend What the news was saying " Client # 9 [ spitzer apparently ] as the F.B.I. agent refered to him in investigational report ..... PAID $$$$$ like around 4,000.00 $ For an HOUR ???? Now the Paid Prostitute >>> Call - GIRL .... Was Very young comparatively ,,, 5' 4" 100 lbs. In my Ignorantly paranoid mindset ,,,, I say the price was accordingly as to the Fantasy >>> i.e.,,, As close to legal sex with a minor . << >> Just this side of legal. . Nope ,, The fact is rarely does a Predisposition vanish quickly ,, whether you a powerful peep ,, or your Joe 6-pack. Come on , We had a Prez that had a 12 year or so affair with Jennifer Flowers ,,, ermm and a little tryst with a Paula Jones ,,, oh ,,, and the small Pizza parties with a cigar after dinner with a Monica Lewinski ........ Reason I post this is ,,,Simple Nature of the beast ,,, Man or Woman ,, that can controll or overpower,,, the likeness of there wishes and achieve co-operation of others ,,, by either lieing for ,, or turning the other cheek and looking away . In Most descretions it more so is something that has happened many times without punishment ,,,,,, But that time when your feet are in the Fire ....... <<< That is your WTF.!!!! |

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
I_WMD said: Simple Nature of the beast ,,, </div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> I have read your post a few times I WMD...interesting userid BTW... This could be a great thread upon it's own...nature vs. nuture when reflected upon the behaviors being discussed here. I think your right if I understand your basic premise,,that this behavior revolves around control and not sex. That being the case,,the behavior is dysfunctional in the society we live. There are times in History where this was not the case. However now and then there was/is pain to pay. Being cast by my own history, my tendency for compassion first looks to the victim. In most cases of trama there is not just one. As I have matured this reality becomes more profound. In this particular case and in others that you mention,,there are a plethora of victims,,including the presupposed perpetrator.. Trama is tragic in it's scope. IMHO.
