Hoe No!

For years, Eliot Spitzer advanced his career and personal wealth on the backs of broadcasters.

He went on a self-righteous moral crusade for "family values" on the radio. He pushed for millions of dollars in fines against deejays who told a pee-pee joke on the air. He joined the FCC witch hunt to drive some of radio's best and brightest, including the legendary Howard Stern, off the airwaves. We were all bad people because we joked about a girl's boobies on the air.

Now the truth comes out. The moral crusader for "family radio" spent $80,000 on hookers over more than ten years, and was little more than a fake, hypocritical sleazeball.

It's called Poetic Justice.

I guess you could look at it that way. I look it more as a man who did the same things that many do, simply made an error in judgment. We often try to make ourselves so different than all the other animals, but we are driven by the same urges and desires as they are, we just like to make it a judgment of a person's life and good accomplishments rather than an indisgression. Also funny how much the media not only has impact but often has folks repeating entire personal monologues of the personalities they watch on TV. You ought to read 'Spoiling for a Fight: The Rise of Eliot Spitzer'. You'll find a man who doesn't have a problem admitting he's not perfect and who doesn't bat an eye at revealing many of his flaws. Not many others at his level could be so honest and mny who get caught doing 'immoral things' spend the rest of their career denying it.

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”

And the term "hoe" is a hand tool used in gardening.

Sorry Walter, it's not the same thing. Spitzer made his career pretending to being holier-than-thou while committing prosecutorial misconduct to further his political career. (See the payola mess, the slander of Hank Greenberg, H&R Block, blah blah blah.) Now people are starting to see him for the self-righteous egomaniacal jerk that he is. He deserves everything that's coming to him and then some.
