Let's see here, nah don't want to say that.....how about, nah not that either......OK How about this....

He will spin this somehow to blame video games, something like he wanted to ACTUALLY play the games he was condemning and they made him call up a whore for sex!!!!

YEAH THAT's THE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

freespeech

What? You mean to tell me that a goverment offical is not honest about something, my word and all this time i thought they were all honest.......

Excuse me Mr. Spitzer What made you do it? Well, gosh i'm so ashamed to say this but for about 3 months i've been playing GTA games non stop *Breaks down and cries* GTA MADE ME DO IT, ITS THE WORK OF THE DEVIL LOL

What a damn douche, another perfect example of people bashing video games yet they are worse than the video game itself!

Dizzle

I have a question....what is his wife doing there?
With that victim look alike face?
Shouldn't she be the first one to kick him out for disrespecting her and her daughters?

What about HIV and the other horrible Sexually transmitted diseases? Oh, I see, he must have been careful enough to wear a condom....

Disgusting to say the least, why do we have this kind of politicians?????

Lin_W

oh the irony kills me!

The.Goalkeeper

Wow. Hypocrisy in such clear-cut form! Good work, Spitz. How about instead of screwing an actual hooker as a married man and politician, you just resort to hooker "simulations" next time, such as in grand theft auto. As you said, the game will reward you!

squidboy007

As a fellow New Yorker, I pretty much regret voting for that two-bit hustler, who pretty much casted himself as the next incarnation of Elliot Ness (the guy who brought down Al Capone) and started touting his ego enriched immaculate record. I mean his term was going to the shitter before yesterday: spying on the Assembly Speaker, pandering to the clout of the soccer moms, and thus his poll numbers were sinking like his erection after banging his overpriced whore. Well, looks like his credibility, let alone his political career is forever lost, and if he pleads to his felonies, his law practicing days are going with it. Oh well, with this blow, history will be made (the man next in line to fill in Spitzer's shoes will be the first black governor in this state, and the first legally blind governor in the entire country).

True, but you have to admit that chances are if there's a homosexual sex scandal, theres an (R) by the name. I find that a lot more despicable than a case like this (not because its gay, but because it is usually assholes trying to make life much more difficult for, and publicly bash homosexuals while they secretly are one.) FUCK all politicians, lying fucking hypocrites.

@Unquiet Slumbers: "It's usually the conservatives who provide us with these delightfully entertaining news."

Puhleese. Quit drinking the Kool-Aid. Neither side has a lock on hypocrisy. Go on back a ways up to last year: Rep. Wilbur Mills (D) & Fannie Fox, Governor of Louisiana Huey Long (D) dealt with infidelity rumors his entire life, Rep. Gerry Studds (D) & male pages, JFK (D) & whoever, William Jefferson Clinton & Monica & Gennifer & Juanita etc., James McGreevy (D) & his gay extramarital affair & Gavin Newsom (D) & Ruby Tourk. I'm an equal opportunist politician hater, both sides are equally vile. I couldn't let your remark go un-countered.

Tyrohne

LOL @ Spitzer

A hypocritical politican?

LevelHead

@Cola82: I thought we were talking about hypocrisy. This is just another politician who says one thing and does something totally different. He is a threat to gaming when he says what it takes to get where he wants to be. If he doesn't believe games are bad he should show some leadership and say so. If he does, then he is wrong because he believes the bad things he sees in games don't apply to him. The true tragedy for this country is that we have two parties that are full of people just like him and we don't demand or vote for someone different. The Democratic party is a joke. So is the Republican party. What's myopic is looking at what's going on these days and still believing that either party is worth a damn.

Dcbronco

This is a tragedy for the country and the democratic party. He posed no real risk to games, so it's sad to see such ambivalence here. Sometimes I worry that mainstream gamer culture is too myopic. Games aren't all that matter, you know.

Cola82

Can someone, PLEASE, tell me how any GTA game is "more graphic" than a Henry Miller novel (which any child could pickup from a library or bookstore) or "more violent" than what went on at the Roman Colesium. "Media content" has always been grphic and violent, it hasn't just become that way because of TV and video games.@

href="#c4635494">SigmundTheSeaMonster,
Republican or Democrat doesn't matter (and this comming from a life-long Dmeocrat). The point is this man commited a felony, solicitaion, and participated in the criminal enterpise of Prostitution. He should be removed from office. Along with everyone else doing the same as him. Republican or Democrat. The Framers of the Constitution wanted to form a "nation of laws, not of men." By not making our politicians (including the one sitting in the Oval Office) stand within the full light of rule of law, and suffer the consequences, we are turning our nation into a nation of men. This is dangerous. If we read Adam Smith, we know that a society is only as prosporus as it is free, equally aplies laws to all citizens and that those laws aren't too insane. Laws must be applied equally, especially to the rich, the politicians and the police. To paraphrase Jefferson: In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Law.

Fuck this hipocryte. Their always so quick to blame it all on the games... Now look.

@jimbone:Who I really feel bad for is his wife and kids. I mean in his pathetic apology yesterday, his wife looked completely shell shocked.

Same here. She just seemed like she didn't believe it was happening. I mean some public people who get caught cheating their wives are like, "Yeah, I figured this would come out sooner or later." or "How dare you bring that out in the open!" she genuinely looked like she was clueless about it and him dragging her out in the limelight was a pretty low thing to do.

battra92

Hmmm a politician pretending to have morals like the rest of us...Not really surprised he was against GTA...video games are the new cool thing to be against, and we all know they can't think for themselves it's just much easier to jump on the bandwagon

Xolotl

His wife looks like she doesn't want to be there.

I wonder why.

Project Thanatos

Oh, how I can remember the campaign slogan now:

"Everything changes on Day One." Implying, of course, that he will reform government and end all the corruption and slime. Mmmmhmmmm.

Gotta love the Democrats in this state. Hevesi stole money for his wife (and he's the f ing comptroller), the freaking governor is a hypocritical sex junkie, Hillary is Hillary, and Chuck Schumer is even worse than she.

Ugh, I can't wait to get out of college and move somewhere where it's warm, there are low taxes, and government doesn't entirely f with your life.

Well, personally, I don't particularly care about prostitution. As far as I'm concerned, if you want to pay for sex, go right ahead. Paraphrasing George Carlin, if it's perfectly legal to give away for free, why is it illegal to sell it?

Not that I would ever use such services, but it should at least be regulated to keep people safer than they are now.

Oh well, here's to another politician getting his arse burned for being hypocritical.

Somehow, Irony always seems to prevued people like this. Particularly, those of the pro-censorship camp. It doesn't have to be specifically anti-game activists. Catholic priests, anti-abortion leaders, teachers, parents, society as a whole.
If it weren't for the hypocrits, there wouldn't be a soul in church, right? Perhaps that's a reason to stray away from church. We often do apply the things we hate about ourselves to others. I suppose this also applies to things.

This is, thankfully, one more step taken away from turning gamers into society's next "smokers."

@LittleBigPlaneteer: Uh huh? What was his platform? Hypocrisy and hookers for all?

Krytha

Some talking head on a network news show said that when public figures get caught doing hypocritical things, it's because the wiring in the front of their brains is messed up. (I wondered it was Prof. Irwin Corey in disguise.) So maybe he's been holding his cell phone incorrectly and getting interference, although previous reports say this only makes some people gay.

Knukleur

So, is that his secretary?

Ok, so did he order the $5000/hr VIP Whore and jip her down to $1000/hr rate?

"Why does it seem that a lot of politicians who push for sexual bills always seem to get busted for the same thing they stride against."

It's a cmmmon combination of the the defense mechanisms Reaction formatiom and sublimation.

Reaction formation is where you act externally opposite to your internal feelings. The classic example is the little boy pushing the girl in the mud who he thinks is cute. Or the closeted homosexual who is anti gay rights.

Sublimation is when you attempt to take negative feelings and work them out in societal appropriate ways. I.E. the kid who always gets in fights becomes a boxer. A mom grieving for her son's death by drunk driver crusades against it.

So, here's a guy who has inner sexual desires that are against societies morals. So what he does is acts EXACTLY opposite "I'm a straight as an arrow politician who wants to clean things up." He's embarassed about his own faults so he works to make this world a better place.

n2Depth

What's that light at the end of the tunnel? I think it's the karma train... hauling a full load of irony straight up Spitzer's a$$.

I wonder if the NY taxpayers paid for his trip and security detail to Washington DC? I'd bet they did... and according to the affadavit, this wasn't his first transaction... so while he's been paying big cash to bang some prostitutes, he's been taking money and screwing taxpayers at the same time.

Seriously, this guy has been a douche for a long time and had it coming. He is such an arrogant prick he likely thought he would never get caught, and that if he did he could use his position to get out of it. And he wanted to run for president someday!!! Silly rabbit, you can't abuse your power, screw whores, and get away with it until AFTER you are president.

So while all of the people of NY are getting killed with property, income, and consumption taxes - while business is evacuating the state en masse - while the state government is running a $5B budget hole, this moron is busy paying big cash to dip his willy.

Who I really feel bad for is his wife and kids. I mean in his pathetic apology yesterday, his wife looked completely shell shocked.

Douche of the Year nominee confirmed.

I think there was a hidden message in his speech, when "self regulation" just isnt working, you gotta give the "government" a call to come round and sort "things out".

Yeah I think thats what he meant.

qwertyblue

@baked ham: Oh, and before this irks some of you, let me make the distinction between politician and elected official. Different roles. Just so happens that the two are almost always in bed together. Up to you to make the decision as to who's an asshole, liar, and/or hypocrite. Who's pulling your chain? Well, there's no scientific method of figuring this out. But the truth hurts and nothing's perfect so I think it only makes sense that if you want to get elected, you've either got to make problems where there are none or ignore problems where they exist, and in this fashion you create a position wherein the public thinks they need you.

So maybe I'm overly cynical? You decide for yourself which of these "public figures" is full of it. I've made my opinion clear.

baked ham

Well... "you hate about others what you hate about yourself" seems to apply in this case.

Not that the guy hates sex, obviously not, but I am sure he didn't want to get caught knowing he was wrong from the start.

Neer'mo

It's as simple as this, people... say it with me, now: All politicians are assholes, liars, and hypocrites.

baked ham

Considering Spitzer was Mr. Squeeky Clean and holier-than-thou as Attorney General out to sue any and all who got in his way leaving a trail of rubble in his path for governor it is quite ironic. A lot of my New York buddies are a bit irked that he's not resigning.

Hello impeachment scandal I suppose.

@KM91:I find it funny that people always criticize President Bush, while completely ignoring all of these politicians getting in trouble with the law. Bush may not be the sharpest president, but at least he hasn't gotten involved in a bathroom sex sting or a prostitution ring bust.

I agree. Say what you will about Bush and agree or disagree with his positions but at least he seems personally honest.

battra92

@Cell9song: Yeah, no kidding. When the government gets involved, you lose.

@elevenoverzero: The fact that he hired prostitutes is not a problem. His problem is that he spent quite a lot of time and energy condemning prostitution rings and busting them, and so much time holding press conferences about cleaning it up that the hypocrisy is just epic.

Plus, he's your typical statist, law and order type of politician that sees more government intervention as the solution to all of societies alleged problems. So it's that much sweeter when he blows it sp spectacularly.

teeth7

@KM91:
Yeah, he's done other things. :/

Brian Ashcraft

@LittleBigPlaneteer: Which is why I don't see this as a big deal. This has nothing to do with his job. His job should just be based on how good he is in his position, not his personal life.

The quote is just talking about protecting children from the media, I don't see how him privately sleeping with a prostitute based on this hypocritical. Unless he was doing it with kids watching in the room, it's a completely different thing.

Bootes

I was unaware that he was against GTA. Oh well.

I find it funny that people always criticize President Bush, while completely ignoring all of these politicians getting in trouble with the law. Bush may not be the sharpest president, but at least he hasn't gotten involved in a bathroom sex sting or a prostitution ring bust.

He is a dumbass, how could you do what you obviously are against and then get caught? How do these people get into politics? Oh wait nvm.

Oh my god!
The harmful influence of GTA is even more dangerous than I initially thought!
Here is a man, a grown-up man, with fully realized cognitive faculties that only heard some rumors of the horrible and brainwashingly-so waste of human creativity that is GTA and now he's a sex-crazed prostitute addict. Imagine what could have happened to his brain had it been a childs.
I'm just glad he didn't play for a couple of minutes, he might have gone on a rocketlauncher killing spree in the suburbs.

Why does it seem that a lot of politicians who push for sexual bills always seem to get busted for the same thing they stride against. I mean didn't that Florida congressmen who was pushing for harder punishment against people who IM kids for sex also get busted for doing the same thing?

I suppose this goes in my evidence file entitled : everybody lies to benefit themselves when they think they can get away with it.

Dear Governer Spitzer,

FUCK YOU.

That will be $1000.

Thanks, and have a nice day.

Tuor

In an effort to further his research into the effects of violent videogames, Gov. Spitzer began playing GTA: San Andreas. During one of his play sessions his mind suddenly snapped, and he felt an irresistible urge to procure the services of a prostitute. From then on, Gov. Spitzer spent every free moment he could stealing cars, killing pedestrians, and banging hookers. Thus, through his sacrifice, Gov. Spitzer has become a prime example of the damage such violent games can cause to the people who play them, and I submit his actions as further proof as to why we need to outlaw such games.

Thank you for your time.
