TPM Reader PT takes the long view ...

Under the category of Egregious Carnality, or whatever you call it, this Spitzer deal is going to be really hard to top, I think. Especially when you throw in details like: rendezvous on Valentine's Day's Eve; overpaying in order to get a credit for future meetings; and the quote that he "would ask you to do things that, like, you might not think were safe..."

Like, you know, pursuing trysts with hookers after, like, carefully nurturing a reputation as an ethics maniac.

So let me make a bold claim - a very bold claim. The Eliot Mess WILL win next year's Golden Duke for Carnality!

C'mon Republicans! Ye men of whips and diapers! Of paraphernalia and toys! Head out to your nearest public restroom! Look for the one you fear and crave! Take a wide stance!

And show me you've got what it takes... to earn that precious Golden Duke!!!
