Spitzer's Troubles Extend to the Area of Campaign Finance
 

Things are getting worse and worse for Eliot Spitzer. We already know that he was traveling on the taxpayers dime when he would hire prostitutes while traveling, but now the feds are looking into whether or not he used campaign funds to pay for his $1000/hr love-ins as well.

The inquiry focuses specifically on whether or not he used the campaign cash to pay for hotel rooms or the transportation of girls to and from wherever he happened to be.

The Huffington Post points out that if these new allegation prove to be true, that would be a bit of extra embarrassment for this disgraced reformer since he put such an emphasis on bringing campaign finance reform to Albany as governor.

Unless of course his focus was on making campaign funds available to pay for high-end hookers. In that case, his tenure could be considered markedly more successful.

Don't worry about Spitzer, there are lots of other political crooks
in federal prison to keep him company.


Posted by no doubt on 3/14/2008 2:16:21 PM
if he used taxpayer money then he is going to prison for sure

I wish he would just get all of it out in the open at once so I don't
have to see his ugly mug on tv anymore! Just tell s everything in
one press conference so we can all move on.

I feel really bad for Spitzer's wife. It's bad enough this all
unfolded in the public, but imagine how she must feel now that there
is a face to go with the hooker's name. Terrible.

Maybe he'll go into the priesthood like McGreevy did.


Posted by Nina on 3/14/2008 2:10:29 PM
Kraig - He doesn't "need" to steal, but why pay for it yourself if
someone else will. That's how the rich stay rich; by using other
people's money instead of their own.
