In fact you would not have even known by reading or watching local media that there was a mayorial election going on last year.<BR/><BR/>All of the stuff that Gavin did had absolutely no impact on his re-election; and the media never even pretended to hold him accountable.<BR/><BR/>San Francisco politics is rife with collusion between the only newspaper in town, the worse local TV news in the country and Gavin Newsom.Mes Deux Centshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10697034868111011343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-9324293583478407092008-03-12T12:40:00.000-07:002008-03-12T12:40:00.000-07:002008-03-12T12:40:00.000-07:00they're also in a tizzy b/c idk prostitution is ILLEGAL and he was mr. ethics extraordinaire.<BR/><BR/>plus he (allegedly) spent 80k on hookers. i mean DANG!! public citizens are paying you too much!!!jameil1922http://www.blogger.com/profile/02242625946552047911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-22349626551056912592008-03-12T10:43:00.000-07:002008-03-12T10:43:00.000-07:002008-03-12T10:43:00.000-07:00I asked the same question as you did: What could a hooker 'offer' that would be worth 4 grand?

Speaking of which, you forgot to mention Schwarzenegger, who has famously cheated on his wife for years.<BR/><BR/>I've been wondering, too, what $4,000 sex is. Does she have extra breasts or something? I assume she's attractive, but so is his wife, who also is a Harvard-trained lawyer. I feel terrible for her because I doubt that she is a Hillary Clinton with no feelings. It's horrible enough to be cheated on, but to be publicly humiliated is really the capper and particularly ironic since he pretends to stand for ethics. <BR/><BR/>His apology didn't convince me.heartinsanfranciscohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-43105136308703027802008-03-12T09:02:00.000-07:002008-03-12T09:02:00.000-07:002008-03-12T09:02:00.000-07:00<B>NYC/CR,</B><BR/>No, you're not the only one. Pretty Woman is in my top 20 most hated films list. <BR/><BR/>I was watching the Today Show and they had one of the prostitutes from the Bunny Ranch on and Matt Lauer asked her what you get for the money. The woman gave this sick smile and said, "Whatever you want." Eww... it made my skin crawl.<BR/><BR/><B>1969,</B><BR/>Total idiot. I'm sure she could've used the cash on something else and wouldn't have minded doing "whatever you want" in order to save their family all this heartache... unless he's just into some really weird stuff. <BR/><BR/>Oh wait, he's on TV right now resigning. Why in the world doe he have to have his wife stand next to him again. Maybe she wants to stand there with him. I don't think I'd be the one to do that.<BR/><BR/><B>Nick,</B><BR/>I don't get the need for prostitutes either. You ever notice how we never hear about female politicians and cheating/prostitution scandals? Why is that? <BR/><BR/><B>Cyndee,</B><BR/>Hah! Good point! Can you tell in my mind that I put it all at about the same level? LOL!<BR/><BR/>That's really unfair that for the patrons of prostitution it's always a misdemeanor. I think it should be a felony the first time! Lock 'em all up and throw away the key! <BR/><BR/>I don't think his wife will cut him loose though. She was standing next to him again when he resigned so she'll probably stick with him. <BR/><BR/><B>Sundry,</B><BR/>I think I sometimes forget that prostitution's illegal because if I pick up a copy of the LA Weekly, well, there's pages and pages of "call girls". Those ads pretty much ensure that the paper can be free. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the NPR story. I'll check it out. Thinking about what I wrote a couple days ago about surveillance, I am not surprised that he got caught by his bank, but isn't it crazy that they can just share all sorts of info on us with 3rd parties?Los Angelistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-24966943926553889522008-03-12T08:12:00.000-07:002008-03-12T08:12:00.000-07:002008-03-12T08:12:00.000-07:00Oops, that story's at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88116176Sundryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11395065569691894697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-67248062977893977252008-03-12T08:10:00.000-07:002008-03-12T08:10:00.000-07:002008-03-12T08:10:00.000-07:00I'm with cyndee here. She beat me to the punch. It's illegal (whether it should be or not is another question.)<BR/> <BR/>I found this NPR story about how Spitzer moving around tens of thousands of dollars flagged a tax inquiry to be the most interesting reporting to come from this story so far. Our banks are watching us to help us fight identity theft, but in the meantime, they're getting a lot of bonus info on us. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=88116176Sundryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11395065569691894697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-77688895991477770582008-03-12T05:54:00.000-07:002008-03-12T05:54:00.000-07:002008-03-12T05:54:00.000-07:00The reason they are asking for his resignation is prostitution is a crime! Infidelity is not. Prostitution is a misdemenor which is punishable up to one year in jail. Interestingly enough the first time a prostitue is caught it is a misdemeanor but it is cummulative crime meaning by the third time it is a felony. The same is not true for the patrons of prostitution - it's always a misdemeanor. I hope his wife gets him good, she's an Ivy school graduate and a tough prosecuting attorney. Something tells me she's not going to be singing "stand by your man."Cyndeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-80968719033254825922008-03-12T03:56:00.000-07:002008-03-12T03:56:00.000-07:002008-03-12T03:56:00.000-07:00I've never understood men's need for prostitutes, let alone doing it behind your wife's back.
