Whose Conduct Was More Reprehensible: Clinton’s or Spitzer’s?

Whose Conduct Was More Reprehensible: Clinton’s or Spitzer’s?
By Hugh Hewitt
First, limit the question to what is known beyond reasonable doubt: Eliot Spitzer’s serial assignations with call girls and Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky combined with his perjury about that affair.
Set aside Spitzer’s bullying prosecutions and his abuse of his office as governor. Try and forget the allegations against Bill Clinton from other women. Stick just to what is widely understood to be undeniable facts.
So, whose conduct is worse?
Callers to my radio show went 60-40 to proclaim Clinton the bigger heel. The reasons were two: He abused his position of power over an intern and he clung to power even after his guilt was exposed.
Those who blasted Spitzer pointed to his hypocrisy in having prosecuted others for the very conduct he is accused of engaging in, but others saluted his eventual decision to resign.
Many callers threw up their hands and declared a tie: Both guys were skunks.
There are fair arguments on all sides, but the discussion raises one key question: Given that Spitzer is being hounded from office as a result of his conduct, why is Bill Clinton still being celebrated on the campaign trail and honored far and wide? When did the absolution get conferred? When did the statute of limitations run on holding his repulsive conduct against him?

These prostitutes are clearly shills for the CFR. Ron Paul never used a prostitute, not even a high-end one.

Buried as inaccurate.”let me just say that Allie is a very bright” … there is no such thing as bright (in the sense of smart) prostitute…
