The media is all a buzz with the story of the newly shamed Governor of NY. First off, having prosecuted prostitution rings, how did he think he WOULDN'T get caught? And, you'd think he'd be more than well aware of the laws governing these things.
Second, despite his insistence that this is a private matter, it isn't. If it were only a private matter, why call a press conference? The fact is, like it or not, he committed a criminal act in addition to destroying his personal credibility and violating the trust and relationship we assume he has with his wife and children.
Third, I am willing to believe that as a monkey I might not be doing "it" right, but I can't imagine paying anyone $4,300 for sex. I mean, whether you're doing it with your long time main squeeze or some random person you are paying . . . the biological function remains roughly the same, no? I'm thinking for that much money, the person you are paying is going to have to be able to stop the earth in it's rotation.
Lastly, following up on the third point, I can't imagine that there is any sex good enough to destroy my career, my family, my reputation over. I know, I know . . . wars have been started over love and sex. Which, frankly is foolish too. But, really, why spend so many years working so hard only to get it (excuse the pun, but I just can't help myself) blown away for what, a night or two of feeling like a very bad boy?

How do you know he wasn't just paying her to talk? Maybe he just wanted a friend. A very expensive friend, yes, but still just a friend. Ok ok....even I can't type that and keep a straight face.
On the serious side, you ask how he could possibly think he couldn't get caught? I'm guessing because that wasn't the first time for him and I'm also guessing it wasn't the first illegal act he's undertaken. He's a career politician...he didn't get there by being a Boy Scout. He's probably done so much other stuff like this and worse that his reaction to getting busted for prostitution was probably "Whew! Glad it wasn't for all that other crap I did!".
Well, I did stumble out of nowhere the other day, so I think the earth may have stopped rotating for a brief moment ;)
And I thought I was cynical
