Flutterby™! : Spitzer busted

There are two idiocies here: One, that prostitution is illegal and an incident like this shouldn't destroy a career, but two, that... well... Elliot Spitzer caught soliciting prostitution, which is slightly different than the headline... Okay, make that three idiocies here: The headline reads "Spitzer is Linked to Prostitution Ring", although maybe they're only using that to echo the man's hypocrisy:

In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.

"This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multitiered management structure," Mr. Spitzer said at the time. "It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring."

The good news is that hopefully one more lying hypocrite will be tossed out of politics. Alas there's no shortage of replacements.
