Eliot Spitzer: response to Annie Lo.
Eliot Spitzer, a major participant in the United States government, deserves all of the punishment that he received for taking part in the prostitution circle. I completely agree with Vincent Romano, who said that he now knows what embarrassment the people that he prosecutes must go through. Spitzer will surely get a taste of his own medicine, and I don’
t think he would dare go back to his old job after the lies he told. Even if this had nothing with prostitution, Spitzer broke the code of his moral crusade, and would be dismissed in any situation that involved moral principals. If Spitzer were in the industry of business, his crime would be less significant, because it is a personal matter.
Spitzer’
s job was to accuse people involved in prostitution, and he ended up spending over $80,000 dollars on hiring his own prostitutes (Spitzer). One would think that with much experience with criminals and prostitution, Spitzer would know how to hide his evidence, but he went out of his way to cover his tracks, triggering the bank to alert the IRS (Spitzer). This man seems like a spoiled brat who is used to getting more than he needs. Spitzer has a wife and family who must be desperate for a supplier if they want to stay united. This millionaire has gone as far as Florida to meet these women, and has been doing it for over 10 years (Spitzer.)
Spitzer, and anyone involved in the government should know that they can be wire tapped if they are doing something illegal. If he wanted to run for public officer, he should have kept his act clean, because people are always watching every move he makes.
I thought this political cartoon was a funny representation of Spitzer:
