The Amoral Elliott Spitzer: A Man Progressives Can Admire
A DimocRat, a Kos Kunt Diarist, a habitual user and abuser of prostitutes; what’s not there for a “progressive” to like. But never call Elliot Spitzer a hypocrite because, according to Kos, a distinct lack of morals (part of progressive theology) is not to be scorned but celebrated. If you abjure a moral code and situational ethics is an apt descriptor of your integrity, accusations of hypocrisy simply do not apply.
He may be a hypocrite if (as is presumable) he tells his wife he’s faithful to her, and he tells people that they should stay faithful to their spouses, etc. But politically, he’s not a hypocrite, and it doesn’t have it anything to do with his politics the way it does for some others who got caught.

You can’t even call it a double-standard for Republicans, because it’s the Republicans who make it an issue for themselves by claiming to have an iron-clad commitment to pbserving these kinds of taboos.

I’ll let the astute and witty commenters on LGF say the rest…..
So, the Kos argument goes like this:
Democrats are all immoral sleazebags. And they are proud of it. So, when they get caught being sleazy, it’s not hypocritical — it’s to be expected!
Democrats stand for absolutely nothing, ipso facto they can not be hypocrites.
Does this person even realize what they are saying?
Claiming the moral high ground for the Democrats by pointing out that they’re already immoral, and thus aren’t hypocrites — man, that’s some bad kind of craziness.
This person should enter the Olympics on the Logical Gymnastics team.
See Spitzer is a Dem and Dems are there to help people. So Spitzer was in fact helping some women advance in their careers after being exploited by the male dominated capitalist system that wouldn’t allow them to advance. He was actually not exploiting women in the sex trade.
My Lefty brother-in-law explained this to me almost ten years ago. It goes something like this: Republicans are hypocrites because they “judge others” and because they say that infidelity is wrong…therefore if they cheat on their spouses they are hypocrites. And, to a Lefty there is nothing in the world worse than being a hypocrite.
Democrats, on the other hand, do not judge people and they never explicitly say that infidelity is wrong and therefore can never be hypocrites.
If you have no standards you can never be called a hypocrite.
Setting the bar low means you’re never disappointed.
Not to mention the fact that prostitution is a longtime “service industry” run by organized crime- specifically, la Cosa Nostra in NY, although in recent years (after the hiding the Respected took in the Eighties), the various South American-related gangs have been vying for turf there, and in D.C. and Chicago as well.
So, the Koslings are saying that not only is marital infidelity and prostitution jake with them- so is being mobbed-up.
/No, I don’t believe they’ve thought it through to that degree, as I have yet to see any evidence that they are actually capable of thought.

Yeah. The hooker framed him. She must be a Republican since she’s not providing sex @ “Universal Sex Worker” rates but at Free Market rates.
