Geithner and the Clinton Legacy

Wednesday, January 21, 2009

The hearings to confirm Timothy F. Geithner as Treasury Secretary continue today, and of course, the topic to be overlooked and explained away will be his tax delinquency.  Why? I don’t know.  The tax issue brought up in connection with “Joe the Plumber” seemed to have been crystal clear and worthy of full condemnation and [...]

Another Democratic Hooker Scandal

Thursday, April 3, 2008

I’m only half-heartedly posting this new Democratic hooker scandal – after the Spitzer debacle, not much else to say, but I think that it’s important to get this out there.  Kind of reminds me of a saying, “first time is an accident, second time is a mistake; third time is a full-blown habit.”  If nothing [...]

Harlots I Have Known

Monday, March 31, 2008

Final thoughts on the whole Spitzer fandango.   There was been a lot of ink spilled about how normal and socially palatable prostitution is – I’ve heard more talk lately about legalizing prostitution in the last month than I have in years; the cynic in me can’t help but wonder.
I’m guessing that most of the commentary is written [...]

Spitzer and the Net That Caught Him

Friday, March 28, 2008

People still believe that the Justice Department, Wall Street, Karl Rove and the big bad wolf were out to get Eliot Spitzer.  Otherwise, why were “they” watching him? 
It was inevitable that his transactions would be flagged, as anybody with more than a passing familiarity with banking would know.  Once upon a time, bankers could turn a blind eye [...]

Prostitutes as Feminist Activists?

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

One of the things that made my head hurt about the Eliot Spitzer call-girl scandal was the sudden rush in certain quarters of the media to paint prostitution as a “victimless crime”, an expression of feminist  power in a male dominated world.  It boggles my imagination that anybody would think that prostitution is a solid [...]

Spitzer was Framed!

Thursday, March 13, 2008

I’m trying not to let myself get too involved with the Spitzer story – as I mentioned before, it’s being covered very well by the heavies like Michelle Malkin, National Review and the American Thinker.  These are the stories that the big dogs do best; they have the time and resources to do the digging.  [...]

The Spitzer Scandal – What Do You Buy for $5,500 an Hour?

Wednesday, March 12, 2008

Harold Meyerson of the Washington Post has a well thought out column in today’s Washington Post titled “What $5,500 an Hour Buys“, and it’s well worth a read.  In it he talks about the culture and the rarified air that the Emperor Club and other such outfits operate in. 
Positional goods are those commodities that are [...]

Elliot Spitzer, Hollywood Liberalism and Pornography

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

Interesting; on the Huffington Post this morning, Nora Ephron talks about the Elliot Spitzer debacle and right on cue defends his actions.
Meanwhile, Spitzer, who a year ago had a shot at national office, is today a laughingstock because of his reckless involvement in … what? Let’s just say this right out: in nothing. He arranged [...]
