Alan Douchewitz: Governors soliciting prostitutes is OK by me!

Watching CNN this evening, I was forced to be "educated" by liberal hack and Eliot Spitzer's former law school professor, Alan Dershowitz. Seriously, they let this tool teach at Harvard? I thought that was supposed to be a decent law school.

Every single American with even a shred of common sense can see the extreme hypocricy of the New York Governor's participation in a prostitution ring after having built his career on supposedly cleaning up corruption in government and business. But apparently the logic of that situation is lost on the "brilliant" Dershowitz.

Unfortunately, Dershowitz clings to the old liberal canard, invoked by Spitzer himself in his non-apology, that this is "private conduct" and a "victimless crime." Sorry Alan, but despite what you might have read in the Berkley handbook on ethics, crime is not victimless. That's why it is crime. And its not just our society and trust in our public officials that suffers. Why don't you ask Spitzer's wife and children if his lying and philandering was a victimless crime, Alan?

When will liberals learn to stop trying so hard to convince Americans that personal conduct has nothing at all to do with professional conduct. Everyone who has ever met a slimeball of Spitzer's ilk in person knows that when you are a slimeball in your personal life, those same ethics and behaviors will ALWAYS manifest themselves in your professional life sooner or later. Indeed, in retrospect, the corrupt lengths to which Spitzer went to punish his political enemies were merely a warning of the depths of corruption in his personal life.

I know it is wishful thinking to ask the warped minds of folks like Dershowitz to change after decades of misuse. I can only hope that the American people see through the ridiculous and transparent arguments that are bound to keep coming from those who will defend Spitzer and his actions as "no big deal."

Contrary to Dershowitz's assertions, Spitzer is not the victim of any political witchhunt here. He is a lying, cheating, corrupt douchebag who will hopefully get exactly what he deserves, which is a swift exit from the NY Governor's mansion and an eternal exile from national politics.

Any person, regardless of party who conducts themselves in this manner does not deserve the public's trust. You'd think someone of Dershowitz's intelligence could put aside their ideological agenda and admit that.

Good post. I too was

Good post. I too was appalled by Mr. Dershowitz's comments. Gov. Spitzer broke his marriage vows--and in a particularly filthy and premeditated (and just plain stupid) way. He cannot be trusted.

I think most people don't

I think most people don't see this case as victimless when it comes to Spitzer's family as being victims, but fail to see the prostitute as one. This, in my opionion, is what needs to be changed. Ask them if it were there daughter as the prostutite and they'd say she's not "victimless". However, any other girl who has to get naked and open her legs to a stranger for money, "oh well, it's just a woman."

the $4300 private conduct

Surprise surprise. The Dems circle the wagons and Mr. Clean the Gov of NY gets a pass on his ethics exam after making a $4300 contribution to the education fund for a "friend" who caught the train to DC to visit with him. All hell would break loose if the letter behind his name was an R and not a D......everybody and his brother in all forms of media would be on his hindparts to resign before they throw the bum out. The "D" at the end of his name means he gets a free pass. Can't say any of it surprises me. The mainstream media however see no bias in their approach whatsoever.....business as usual.
