Daily Douchebag: Eliot Spitzer
Alias: George Fox, Client 9
DOB: June 10, 1959
Occupation: governor of New York; john
Hometown: Riverdale, the Bronx, New York, New York
Current residence: Albany, New York (but possibly not for long)
Douchebaggery: Ever since he was elected governor of the Empire State, Eliot Spitzer has been dogged with all sorts of accusations. There have been a number of scandals related to him pulling all sorts of trickery against his political opponents in the state Assembly and Senate, including using state police to document his rivals' travels and conspiring to influence media coverage of scandals related to his enemies. However, that all looks like a cakewalk compared to his most recent fuck-up. It seems Eliot likes to unwind from all that hard work being a "fucking steamroller" (as he once described himself to a political rival) with a nice, relaxing hour or two with a high-priced call girl.
Last night, LL Cool Jew and I were talking about this and she said, "Dude, did you see the Times article about Spitzer? You've got to check it out. It reads like a Jackie Collins novel." I immediately went and read it, and realized why Eliot was so vague in his press conference yesterday. He's seemingly such an old hand at shelling out for these expensive hookers to the point where he has hundreds of dollars in credit left over from previous bookings, and the prostitutes were gossiping that "George Fox" looked a whole lot like the governor of New York.
I don't really care if dudes patronize hookers. For starters, I don't believe that prostitution should be illegal. Adults selling something that it's legal to give away for free to other adults seems to me like a victimless crime. However, when the john in question himself prosecuted several prostitution rings and was elected based on promises to about restoring ethics to Albany. I have a problem with his credibility. Eliot Spitzer shouldn't have been busting up prostitution rings and bloviating about his ethical credentials when he's known around the escort service water cooler as a "difficult client" with tastes the hookers are reticent about indulging. Although he did make good on one campaign promise:
Bring some passion back to Albany, huh? Well, Eliot certainly did that as far as his passion for the ladies of the night are concerned. He may be a hypocritical dumbass, but nobody could ever accuse him of not bringing the passion. Apparently his passions are so kinky that his hooker had to say, "Listen, dude, you really want the sex?" in response to some requests on his part that were outside her comfort zone. Kudos on making good on your campaign promises. Your constituents thank you.

Disappointing that you offer him as your daily douchebag.
You recognize that this shouldn't matter - all powerful men are likely to cheat on their wives and who cares if it was with a prostitute (which shouldn't be illegal in the first place)
Of course he's a hypocrite. But you do what you have to do to get where you want to go or you don't get there.
He's a smart guy, a Democrat, introduced a bill to legalize same sex marriage in NY, etc.
If he were a republican, the sexy times would have been with a 12 year old boy.
Give him a break.

Anonymous is right. Spitzer should not be your douchebag, the anonymous poster should be. Anyone who who gives hypocrites a free pass and assumes that all powerful men cheat is a douchebag in my eyes. The guy is getting a free bee because of his political party. Shows you where the morales lie.

Right again. I should have done a spell check before I posted. How about morals and freebie? Spitzer is a better man and deserves a pass since I misspelled those words.
