(Lou Reed, Walk on the Wild Side)
This is stunning news, and if you're hearing this for the first time here, I would strongly reconsider where you turn for up to the minute news (along with maybe a few other life choices), but New York Governor Elliot Spitzer has been linked to a prostitution ring!! I was standing in line at the bank when I saw it on CNN, and my first thought was, "Isn't he a Hillary supporter? Maybe there will be some level of fallout for her campaign over this."
The irony is literally (not literally) dripping off of this situation, considering the following:
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.”
Not to be outdone, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour has admitted to being intimately involved with an order of onion rings.
