In March we republished it in the wake of Eliot Spitzer’s remarkable “indiscretions.” The latest John Edwards confession had us dusting off this post yet again. (We have little doubt that we’ll be posting it again, which is part of our point.) The Vitter story has much in common with the most recent scandal to titillate, enrage, and otherwise occupy the press and the public. We’ve republished the Vitter post below, and leave it to our readers to assess its relevance for the John Edwards scandal. * * * Senator David Vitter achieved much of his success by professing steadfast allegiance to “traditional family values” and punitive intolerance for t...

In a startlingly swift fall from grace, Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned Wednesday after getting caught in a call-girl scandal that made a mockery of his straight-arrow image and left him facing the prospect of criminal charges and perhaps disbarment. “I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people’s work,” Spitzer said, his weary-looking wife, Silda, standing at his side, again, as the corruption-fighting politician once known as Mr. Clean answered for his actions for the second time in three days. He made the announcement ...

Kristen, prostitute described in a federal affidavit as having had a rendezvous with Mr. Spitzer on Feb. 13 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, has spent the last few days in her ninth-floor apartment in the Flatiron district of Manhattan. On Monday, she made a brief appearance in federal court, where a lawyer was appointed to represent her. She is expected to be a witness in the case against four people charged with operating a prostitution ring called the Emperor’s Club V.I.P. In a series of telephone interviews on Tuesday night, she said she had slept very little over the past week, with all the stress of the case. “I just don...

The first of these is the twin studies on copy number variation and methylation. Huh? I said "copy Number Variation and Methylation" What are these? I thought everything was about SNPs? I am certain you must be asking yourself these questions. Well, fear not. Unfortunately methylation and copy number variation do not have millions of dollars, corporate giants, VC or PR firms pushing their importance....But these unique changes make us probably on the lines on 90% similarity. Which, when you look at each other makes a little bit more sense. Right? Just like the fact that 18k genes encode our complex organism. How in the heck does that happen? Well I am here to tell you that SNPs are just the first chapters of our g...

Politicians have been quick to join the clamour for him to step down. It is easy to surmise that Spitzer will hang on to office while his attorneys quickly negotiate a plea deal with New York and the feds on possible criminal prosecution. However, Spitzer WILL BE impeached prior to his deal to save him jail time. Do you think the feds are in ANY hurry while Spitzer slowly twists in the wind? In the meantime, how does Hillary Clinton pledged Democrat Super Delegate Spitzer weigh Team Clinton down?

Elliot Spitzer is joined by his wife Silda as he makes a statement to reporters during a news conference Monday, March 10, 2008 in New York. Spitzer has apologized to his family and the public, but did not elaborate on a bombshell report that he was involved in a prostitution ring. After apologizing to his family and voters for being involved in a prostitution scandal, it is now rumored that New York Governor Elliot Spitzer will resign his office this evening - perhaps by 7 PM EDT. During a news conference Monday afternoon, Spitzer, 48, apologized to his family and the public, but did not go as far as to explain why. “I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and violates my sense of right and wrong,” he said in a brief statement. &#822...

Spitzer was leading a double life and he should resign immediately. His reckless, self-involved behavior is inexcusable and his public career is over. In fact, Spitzer may face legal jeopardy. As recently as this past Valentine’s Day, Feb. 13, Spitzer, who officials say is identified in a federal complaint as “Client 9,” arranged for a prostitute “Kristen” to meet him in Washington, D.C. The woman met Client 9 at the Mayflower Hotel, room 871, “for her tryst,” according to the complaint. Client 9 also is all...
