Is it better that Spitzer cheated with a hooker?

[XemaSab]

:shrug:

If it's a hooker, it's just physical and everyone knows it.

If it's a hoochie in the office, there's always the possibility that it isn't just physical.

Does this make sense? :shrug:

1. define cheat

:D

:hi:

[XemaSab]

8. Screwing someone other than your spouse?

:shrug:

12. What if she wouldn't do things?

What if they were just married due to responsibilities?

I can't believe all this is news.

Marriage, paperwork, is just a legal binding. So long as he didnt hurt the "hooker" or fail to pay I don't see the big deal. If he needed to get something outside his marriage, who cares?

2. maybe he was just trying to stimulate the economy?

I kid, I kid!

[Inchworm]

4. love ya dude!

:rofl:

3. Worse, because of his past as AG

He prosecuted prostitution rings. People are in jail because of him for exactly the same behavior he's been engaged in.


If it was "just" an affair, it would be easier to chalk it up to horrible judgment on his part.

5. here's the thing about him cheating with a hooker

he obviously wasn't just drunk and having a stupid moment when he slept with someone who wasn't his wife.. he arranged to sleep with a prostitute, which means he knew what he was doing and went ahead with it.

personally, if i were with a guy who i found out had slept with a prostitute the relationship would be over.. no questions asked.

however it isn't my relationship, it is his and his wife's and it is their business as to whether she should/will stay with him or not, and who are we to judge both her and him for that? :shrug:

6. Makes sense to me!!

and I was wondering if it would matter or if any one would feel differently, if prostitution was legal???

ahhh all these questions......


LOL


:hi:

7. That's what Desi used to tell Lucy

It wasn't cheating if it was with a prostitute.

[Westegg]

11. Still, he's got some 'splainin' to do!

[Liberal Dose]

9. Yes. When money exchanges hands, it becomes a business arrangement. When it's a tight skirted

office hoochie, that can involve feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings.

10. I always liked what Dr. David Rubin had to say

about a man engaging the services of a paramour.

I can't quote him because I don't remember it exactly, but it was very close to "It isn't sex, it's masturbating in a vagina."

[CreekDog]

13. yes, because he paid for his crime!

:think:

[theredpen]

14. OK. At that price she's NOT a "hooker"

She's a "call girl."

Call her a "hooker" and you're not going to get your $5000 worth.

Have a little respect for the world's oldest profession, people!

16. I was musing on that this morning

:D

[youthere]

15. I might be old fashioned but...

if it were my husband it wouldn't make a difference..he'd be out on his ass. Physical or not I don't give a damn. Of course, Mrs. Spitzer has to do what's right for her, but I could never forgive a cheat. NEVER. Í could forgive him for a lot of things but not that..it's the ultimate betrayal IMO. So, no...it's not better.

[riderinthestorm]

18. I agree with you here but with a hooker there's the whole STD possibility

that would enrage me even more. I know the office nookie could also have an STD but Spitzer obviously has been dallying with more than one hooker. The potential for infecting Mrs. Spitzer is pretty high.

[youthere]

19. Yep I agree.

[Common Sense Party]

20. Especially since he didn't want to use protection.

According to media reports.

[SKKY]

17. I know this doesn't make it any better, but I'm just glad it's a normal scandal...

....and not more gay man-sex with 16 year-old interns in airport bathrooms.

[triguy46]

No. And his friend George Fox is unhappy with the Spitzter for using his name as an alias.

Hooker gets screwed. Friend gets screwed. Wife gets screwed. Voters get screwed. Paying for a hooker is not something that most men do.

From a philosophical/theological view, a wrong is a wrong, with no gradation.

[Bushwick Bill]

21. Yes, also...

I might risk it all for Maya. ;)

22. self delete

too close to home

sorry

[pokerfan]

23. It's just physical

Frank: If this factory goes under, the whole town goes under.
Boardroom Woman: That's when the whores come in.
Paul: Excuse me, what was that?
Boardroom Woman: Men laying their trick-money down. Twenty dollars to pay the rent? Maybe not. Maybe instead I'll spend it on the whore. Whores running around, doing their little behind-shake for the men folk...
Richard: I kinda like her idea.
Boardroom Man: For Christ's sake. Once during the war I visited a prostitute, and my life has been a living hell ever since.
