Naomi, you're seriously out of your league legally, and apparently just looking for media exposure. Whether that would be considered "indecent exposure" is an interesting point for a self-appointed ethics leader...

Continuing to moralize about Governor Spitzer isn't doing CREW any good, even if it makes YOU feel better as a vent for some sexual episode, relationship, or moralistic dogma that has nothing to do with governmental management.

Stick to your political ethics guns and get away from this moralistic crap as fast as you can. Please.

CREW would be much improved by focusing on legal Constitutional ethics rather than the media's idea of a Political Jesus Action Figure. If you simply hate men, you could feed Hillary some new thoughts about why 25% of afro-american teen-age girls have one or more STD's as a result of the religiously-inspired "abstinence only" program.

In any case, do something constructive instead of whining about Governor Spitzer paying (in private) for some good clean fun (assuming he wasn't on the "abstinence only" curriculum and didn't know about condoms). Jealousy isn't a very good excuse, but, hey, what a FORTUNATE political accident to come out of an FBI wiretap investigation, during an election year, eh?

The sheer number of male politicians in the USA implies that at any one time, 20% or more have employed or do employ sex workers to iron out their kinks or provide some relief. Whether this is arranged between adults in differing states (illegal under a law as antiquated as prohibition) or in the Oval Office is immaterial. It is no business of a political ethics organization to comment on, far less trumpet it righteously as though a grave crime was committed.

Governor Eliot Spitzer took no oath regarding sexual fidelity when he was sworn in. The only issues are between him and his wife, how the FBI caught him and leaked his identity, whose money he used to pay for services rendered, and why Puritan America is more interested in his sex life than his effectiveness as a political leader.

At this time in America's political crisis, is anyone surprised that a high-ranking Democrat was "accidentally" identified as a patron of an expensive D.C. callgirl service? Is it the business of a political ethics organization, headed by a woman, to magnify a private activity which was *not* - in spite of some junk law still on the books - a crime?

Where are the accusations of criminality and blatant outrages of political ethics by the Executive Branch? Where is the unswerving insistence that they toe the ethical line? Where are the daily revelations that they subscribe to no ethical responsibilities regarding our Constitution?

Eliot Spitzer has done more for our country and for the state of New York than many, many governors. That he should be hounded from office for his private sexual endeavors between consenting adults is indicative of American obsession, not with its political ethics, not with its people, not with a common sense of Democracy, but with its religion, puritanism, and sexual repression.

It is a shame that CREW chose the popular direction and was sucked into the "scandal", even involving the media on FAUX News in order to appear Righteous and Ethical well beyond its apparent charter. What's the next scandal? "Democratic Senator Caught on FBI Tape Masturbating in Toilet"? The "Perfect Politician" model, with all its extraneous implications succeeded in ousting Clinton and installing Bush, killing millions and exhausting America once and for all. Let's hope CREW can manage to tell ethical shit from shinola in the future and not impose its own specious religious and sexual "ethics" where Democratic political ethics should apply.
