Once again, the Democrats can’t keep it in their pants. New York Governor Elliot Spitzer got caught with his pants down as he spent a speculated $80k on high-class prostitutes. For the most part, I don’t really care what it is that an elected official does in his private life, nor do I think it should be illegal for individuals to sell themselves but seriously, he’s an ugly dude. Perhaps, I wouldn’t care so much if it was a 2-bit crack whore working for $25 and a rock but, still, $80k for a call girl? What kind of freaky shit was this guy into?
The most disturbing fact of this case to me, however, is the fact that his bank notified the IRS to get him caught. He didn’t get caught driving around the “strip” to get a girl but rather his bank “noticed something suspicious,” because he transferred more than $10k from an account, and contacted the IRS. Now, don’t get me wrong, Spitzer hiring hookers is wrong, but you should have the right to spend you money how ever you see fit. If you earned it, you have the right to spend it where and when you want.
The case raises a serious question about the privacy an individual possess. Does one have the right to possess an unfettered bank account. If such suspicion exists that warrants investigation, shouldn’t the FBI or IRS initiate the investigation. Why are the banks and the internet providers the ones beginning the investigation into private individuals.
