Perhaps I'm taking a pretty unpopular spin on this whole scandal regarding Eliot Spitzer's sexual improprieties, but here goes....

Eliot Spitzer should face no criminal charges for sleeping with a prostitute. In fact, he shouldn't have even resigned as Governor of New York. If this country were sane, which it is not, prostitution would be legal and regulated in every state in the union, and lonely middle-aged men, or women, with marital problems (like Spitzer) would be able to visit as many prostitutes (male or female, straight or gay) as they wanted provided they could pay for it and provided those prostitutes were consenting adults who had passed a state mandated STD test.

Spitzer resigned, of course, because he was a hypocrite in his personal life. But unless someone tells me this young women he slept with was underage at the time, or that he raped her, then there is no reason that should affect his political position. This whole scandal was a political assassination. Spitzer was targeted because he was the only man with power investigating corrupt business practices on Wall Street.
