I thought that too at first, but not being a resident of either state, I think the similarity is limited to personal indescretion on behalf of a high level politician. See my next post...........

Sex has nothing to do with it. The point is this guy was an overzealous poster child for doing the right thing, so it wouldn't have mattered if his illicit act was stealing a snickers bar.

I heard when word spread on the floor of the NYSE, there was a huge cheer. I get the impression he was not very popular with the financial boys.

I heard the cheer was specifically wrt the likelihood of resignation. Nobody feels sorry for him...that's for sure!

It would have been more interesting worse if Bill Clinton had turned up as Client-9. He does after all have a weakness.

I just think it's nice to see a Republican accused of having improper relations with an adult member of the opposite sex for a change. <ducking>

Don't climb down off the watchtower yet. Although Spitzer looks like a Republican, he is actually a Democrat.

Compared to Elliott, Clinton was LBYM with his women. He preferred freebies.

Another fascinating aspect of this case is that it seemd to have involved trade in sex futures. At least part of the ~$5000 he giave the lady was for "future sexual services".

I am wondering- was that an OTC futures transaction, or exchange traded?

Ha

That's for sure. He not only avoided the direct cash payment to the women, he also avoided paying for transportation by having Arkansas state troopers do the pick up and delivery. What a guy! LBYM all the way!
