Raymond T. Anderson:

Prostitution is consenual, torture is not. Which one should be legalized?

Before Spitzer resigns, Bush and Cheney should to to jail. Let's get our priorities straight. Catch the murder first, then worry about the guy who wont's stay off the grass.

So he's buying consensual sex. Big deal. It should be legal, anyway.

M. A. George:

What is most egregious in Spitzer's behavior is dragging his innocent wife out to face the spotlight and to deflect embarrassing coments or questions the press might have otherwide shouted out. Hiding behind her skirts, in truth. Sexual incontinence is far easier to forgive than this abuse of someone he should protect and spare from the fallout of his own misbehavior. Seven steps past disgusting, that's what it is.
