I guess I will take a break from all of my Janet coverage and return to politics and YET another political scandal.
Those in glass houses should SHUT UP!!
Nuff Said.....
CNN Highlights:
(CNN) -- Legal experts expressed astonishment Tuesday over the reckless behavior attributed to New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, but disagreed over whether his alleged liaisons with prostitutes should cause him to step down.
Matt Kluger, a criminal defense lawyer in the Bronx, told CNN that prosecutors may have no choice but to bring charges if Spitzer fails to step aside.
Though patronizing a prostitute is generally considered no more than a misdemeanor in New York, Spitzer's alleged payment for a woman to be transported across state lines -- from New York to Washington -- raises the ante, said Kluger, a Democrat.
"It's stupid enough to patronize a prostitute in his position, but to turn it into a federal offense by being involved in the transportation ... is insane. It's more than wondering what he was thinking. He's a lawyer."
Spitzer spent more than $15,000 for several encounters with prostitutes, according to sources knowledgeable about the investigation.
He appears to have shifted his own money among his bank accounts to pay the ring's organizers, raising suspicions at his bank, which filed a report with the IRS, sources with knowledge of the investigation said.
"This is private sexual misconduct," he said, citing Thomas Jefferson, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson as examples of people who could "govern well during the day while acting as children and adolescents in the evening."
He disputed allegations that the conduct allegedly carried out by the law-and-order governor was hypocritical.
