You remember the one. We went with McNealy.
Later, I sent the receipts -uh, -files over to a friend at the NSA and he called me with a "WTF" you wouldn't believe. Ran the numbers thru every code shredder they had....nada. Like a ghost, believe me. He hit that data with everything but a Scud missle, and it didn't crack. So you see, there's a lesson to be learned.
Encrypt your data, boys and girls. Or you too, will end up on The Smoking Gun.
Gotta jump. Call me.

Money quote: "former madams reveal what really

So call your lawyer just in case. Remember that old feudal Japanese quote: 'When the butterfly flies far from the tree, skies will be partly cloudy.' Or some kinda crap. Why do I buy into this stuff?

CNN Tonight: Inside the Underground Sex Industry
The Eliot Spitzer scandal has
opened the door, now go inside the
forbidden world of high class call girls!
More on the young woman caught in the trap
that snared Spitzer with her former pimp
and the call girl who trained her.
Plus, former madams reveal what really
happens in the underground sex industry.
We are always ready to believe in anyone that poses as a white knight on a charger, who promises to ride into Washington, New York or wherever and sweep away the old politics, and magically transform politics into something simple honourable and true. Whether it's this guy Spitzer, or Obama it's the same thing. Obama himself follows in the great tradition of outsider "Mr Smith goes to Washington" presidential candidates that always pop up every two or three elections yet are always greeted by the media as something unprecedented. They seldom make it to the White House, but even when they do, like Carter, they are usually the most disappointing and least effective of Presidents. Even JFK is not immune from criticism on these grounds. Strip away the charisma, and the aura of martyrdom, and you have a less than impressive record. Even the Cuba missile crisis, his finest hour, was caused by his own inexperience at the summit with Kruschev that preceded it, and arguably lead to his decision to confront the Soviet Union in Vietnam.
Perhaps it's time we grew up and realised that politics will always be a dirty business, because it matters, because we care and cannot agree. So horse trading, unlikely alliances, and all the stuff that gave rise to Truman's warning that "if you don't like the heat get out of the kitchen" will always be with us. Politicians likewise are seldom either saviours selflessly striving for truth and justice, or venal criminals consumed with greed and lust for power. They are humans like us, with the usual mixture of selfless and base motives, and strengths and weaknesses we all share.
And if we want our politics better, we the electorate have to get more involved, on an every day basis, not just when election hysteria hits us.
Just because Spitzer was a whoremonger a-hole who exploited the venal dishonesty of the money men to cynically advance his career doesn't mean the money men were innocent. And when it comes to corruption, I'll take a whorebanger any day over an investment banker who lies to investors en masse to line his own pockets with billions. The only shame is that those guys got off too easy. If they'd held up a liquor store for $100, they'd be doing hard time.
People who've been investigated for securities fraud generally don't rush to the defense of people who're guilty of securities fraud.
Spitzer's sins don't excuse the sins of his targets, and it's amazing that some people think they do.
The Bankers used you to fulfill their own selfish ends and Spitzer used them to fulfill his.
Come on Pennsylvania!

a 100-dollar stickup in a liquor store has a 95% greater chance of ending in a murder.
Also, there are far more corrupt politician whorebangers bilking innocent taxpayers every day than there are corrupt investment bankers. Greed is not a crime. You have to actually steal something for it to be a crime.
I'll take the wall street banker any day of the week.
Odds of his crime ending in a murder (Vince Foster) are far less than some politician whore.
Time to get a new persona, man, because you are no Richard Milhous Nixon. You have the real RMN rolling in his grave.
Maybe Jack Kennedy is more your speed and ideology.
The point is his 'holier than thou' almost christian right wing attitude about all his 'busts'. To talk so much shit and then go and do the same thing ethically that he is supposedly trying to stop is sickening and hypocrisy in it's worst form.
I predict the next bombshell is that Gail Collins and Hillary Clinton are ...HMMPHARGH UNG...MMMMM ....MMMM!!!!!!!!!!!
Birds of Feather.
Asking, is it better a moral person useless or a vicious one but effective on solving problems?
But on the issue of his conduct, it's the hypocrisy that is so revolting. I hope his wife puts him in a body cast.
Paid or free?
Do you see the New York Times complain and bitch about some guy going out to buy an iPod or a used Jag for their mistress? No, after all, they're just stimulating the economy, but poor Eliot tries to stimulate the economy and also bring some law and order, and whammo, the media is on him like white on rice. I see now that papers like the NYT is nothing but another mindless mouthpiece for whatever sells their crappy rag. I almost think they were a part of the right wing conspiracy.
For the love of all that's good and liberal, why don't you people just ask Osama if he needs another pillow or two, or a few million more bucks to undermine our democracy.
But I could use another pillow. And maybe some water, not too much ice, in a tall glass, with an orange wedge. A wedge, not a slice. Thank you.

It is difficult to use his donations of ivory though.

Or better ask if the international zoo- or circus-organisations can give some asylum for the elephants in menace.
Eventually it's also possible to export some of the african elephants overpopulation to india that there can be started the assimilation (please ask the government in india before!)
Wow, we are all so blessed to see the wonders that "conservative" government has done for us all.
To betray millions upon millions of lost lives over 200 years to help create this democracy is the height of all crimes .. kind of turns Osama in to an angle.
I never heard it called THAT!
Is that what Bush has in store with HIS Stimulus Package?
Time to get my passport...
DUDE - SHE'S FROM JERSEY!!!!
WTF is wrong with this guy - he likes trash?
/ was from nj

Why else would I have campaigned in NJ for Super Tuesday? It was to get a little action on the side.
Don't believe me? Ask Michelle. She actually picked out the girls.

Sounds a bit like the dearist hisself
The hatchet job he pulled on Strong Funds made me hate him.
The myspace hottie made me hate him more.
You know she had Apple in mind with that one.

Besides, you probably already know the answer!
"Stiffy Dick", great word play considering the subject of my question.
I especially like the word play considering he is dead.
No seriously it was great wordplay. Not only is the real President Nixon dead, though presumably rigor mortise has long since passed, but the fake Nixon was stiff for giving you grief about the whole hit thing.
Hell not only would I hit Ms. Dupré, but I would hit the MILFy Gail Collins.
When you get to be my age, the MILFs are just fine.
Sure, Hillary Clinton is the Wicked Witch of the West.
But Barak Obama is Hanna Montana.

P.S.: In the words of the Great Woz, I'd hit it.
Of course, I predicted in my 1968 monograph that we would have such technology available by no later than 1980, but in that, as in so many other things, I was woefully short-sighted.
I'm sure Mr. Spitzer fervently wishes that I had been correct, as it's [still] not a Federal crime to "get up ins" on a synthetic person.
I don't get the connection.
