    Democrats are untouchable when it comes to crime.

    TATTLE WOULD be hard-pressed to come up with any politician who could give a talk on ethics, but Eliot Spitzer, the call-girl-favoring ex-New York attorney general and governor?
    That’s a joke, right?

    Harvard thinks not – Spitzer has been invited by the university to speak today.

    On ethics.

    Former Manhattan Madam Kristin Davis finds this amusing, so amusing she sent a letter to professor Lawrence Lessig, of Harvard’s Safra Foundation Center for Ethics.

    “This sounds fascinating and I would love to attend,” Davis wrote of Spitzer’s speech, “but the restrictions of my probation won’t allow me to travel outside New York City.

    “For nearly 5 years, I supplied Mr. Spitzer with high-priced escorts while he was both Attorney General and Governor. For this crime, I served four months on Rikers Island, had all of my assets confiscated and am now considered a sex offender on 5 years probation. Mr. Spitzer broke both state and federal laws and walked away free.

    “I am greatly intrigued as to what Mr. Spitzer could contribute to an ethical discussion when as Chief Executive Law Enforcement Officer of NY he broke numerous laws for which he has yet to be punished. As Attorney General he went around arresting and making examples out of the same escort agencies he was frequenting.”

    Hmmm . . . Forget HBO’s “Hookers from the Point,” this is “Madams with a Point.”

    Because Davis is unable to participate in Spitzer’s Q&A, her letter to Lessig also includes questions she would like him to be asked:

    Two of our favorites:

    “3. Is it ethical for you to tip off your favorite escort service days before a bust so that they may disappear?”

    “4. Is it ethical to try to book an assignation with a escort under a fake name after you were banned by my agency for being abusive to women?”

    Harvard may have invited the wrong person to talk.

    Spitzer lost his career and walked away untouched, yep.

    Yep, Senator (R) Craig from IdaHO was busted for trying to solicit sex in a public bathroom and he walked away scott free with his career intact. Thank God he got all the support from his fellow Republicans.

    Solidarity!

    By the way, how many paid speaking engagements has that Senator (R) Mark Foley from Florida had? You know, the Republican Senator who was SEXUALLY harassing his Boy Pages?

    Could it be a people issue or a Republican Democrat issue? I suppose now that we have some Republicans in the mix all of sudden it is no longer a Liberal/Conservative issue, just a people issue…..right?

    Personally, I don’t see why sex is bad.

    If Spitzer wants to have sex with call-girls, that’s his business.

    We should legalize prostitution and let people get the services they want. That would create jobs!!
