COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Spitzer and Wife, Craig & Wife, Vitter & Wife, McGreevey & Wife- Gallery of Shame

First Wives Club





Our rulers and masters dragging their wives through humiliation and shame. The A**Holes never have the cajones to face the shame and humiliation alone. They always have to drag their spouses through purgatory. Punk asses one and all.

  1. Here is the thing...

    I dont care about sex...

    as long as it doesnt involve kids or animals or force.

    period

    now when henry hyde was dipping his wick and the husband of his employee that he was banging pleaded with him to leave his wife alone....

    that was nasty!

  2. WiO: I dont care about sex...as long as it doesnt involve kids or animals or force.

    That's why prostitution is a crime, it almost always involves force. Here was a case of human trafficking that crossed state lines, and Client 9, aka "Mr. Clean", ran for governor promising to bring ethics back to New York.

  5. It's not the sex that did Spitzer in, it was the illegal activity that he used to get laid.

    Funny, he had busted two prostitution groups as AG.
    Sanctimonious ass hole.

    Craig was "pro family" as he tried to get a homosexual airport blow job.

    When Mr Clinton lied to the Judge, about sex, all was forgiven, almost. Lost his law license. And his integrity, liar that he proved to be. Not about sex, but personal honor and verasity.

    In almost every case, the problem is not the sex, but the lies that follow. The "cover up".

    When a Executive uses his position of authority to have an affair with an intern, that is "force".
    According to the Law.

  6. Prostitution is illegal, in both New York and DC.
    The victim is the woman.
    She is not allowed to give consent for cash, as the cash is a form of force. Not a choice. Not a personal decision. Not a decision between her and her client.

    That's the Law.
    To break it, as a Law Enforcement official, which a Governor is, an abuse of political force.

  7. I can't get over the price. $5,000? Hey, it wouldn't take long to pay off the mortgage at that rate.

    It reminds me of when I heard Sean Connery telling the story about when he told his coal miner father how much he got for his movies--

    "What for?" his father asked.

  8. It's a sad business. I recall one time one of dad's friends was a defending a poor woman here in a charge of prostitution.

    The defense he mounted was, she had no other way to make a living--which was practically true too--and a person must eat.

    No matter, the compassionate jury convicted her.

    I'd much rather legalize prostitution, than drugs.

    Competition might bring that price down, too.:) Not that there's probably a lack of competition in a lot of places....

  10. As attorney general, Mr. Spitzer’s signature issue was pursuing Wall Street misdeeds But he also prosecuted at least two prostitution rings as head of the state’s organized crime task force.

    In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.

    “This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multitiered management structure,” Mr. Spitzer said at the time. “It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring.”

  13. Police found Carson's body shortly after 5 a.m. Wednesday, after two callers to 911 reported hearing several gun shots. One of the callers also heard a woman scream as the shots were fired.

    The UNC Board of Trustees is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in Carson's death. Anyone with tips should call Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515.

    Police on Friday began circulating the photos among state and federal law enforcement officials and made them public on Saturday, following the news conference.

  15. Last night, Democratic strategist Joe Trippi sat down to discuss the Democratic primary with New York's John Heilemann from his home on the eastern shore of Maryland. The architect of Howard Dean's 2000 primary insurgency, most recently a senior adviser to John Edwards's campaign and a leading advocate for the "bottom-up" style of campaigning, which eschews big donors in favor of grassroots organizing and small donations fueled by the Internet, shared his thoughts on the current Clinton-Obama deadlock.

    ...

    JH: Let's start at 30,000 feet. As of right now, what's the probability (out of 100) that Obama will be the Democratic nominee?

    JT: I would give Obama a probability of 70 out of 100 that he will be the nominee, but Clinton could still pull this out.

    JH: Do you think there's any chance, however remote, of Gore or someone else becoming the nominee in a brokered convention scenario?

    JT: No, not really. I think there is a much bigger chance that the two of them will be running together, like it or not.

    ...

    JH: What is the likelihood that the Dems will have a nominee before the convention starts?

    JT: As of right now the odds are nil, but there are two or three states that would obviously change that. If Obama won Pennsylvania it would be pretty much over.

  16. There could be a lot more here, besides just hypocrisy and breaking prostitution law.

    Just two years ago, he was AG. Possible he was busting the competition while sparing and visiting this one (or others).

  17. Income earned anywhere outside of the U.K. is not taxed by Her Majesty's tax collectors. This is pursuant to a special arrangement that treats those of us resident in Britain but planning eventually to return to America--not domiciled in the U.K., in the technical jargon--as so-called "non-doms."

    It's a nice benefit--and one our taxing authorities do not confer on Brits resident in the U.S. They pay U.S. tax on their worldwide income; we in London pay U.K. tax only on what we earn in Britain.

    It's one of the reasons that so many high-flying financial types have set up shop in Britain--a benefit rather like those conferred on foreign companies by southern states competing for new factories and jobs.

  18. Author confirms: Terrorists
    'rejoice' at Obama victory
    Says lawmaker correct policies
    further goal of Islamic domination

    By Aaron Klein

    U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, says terrorists will celebrate if Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama is elected, and he is on the mark.

    As a journalist and author who has conducted dozens of on-the-record interviews with Muslim terrorists, including with some of the most notorious Palestinian terror leaders, and who has documented many of those interviews in a recently released, 210-page book, "Schmoozing with Terrorists," I share his belief.

    Terrorists worldwide indeed would be emboldened by an Obama election victory not so much because of the senator's middle name – Hussein – or because of his family background, but because terrorists know many of Obama's policies would translate into victory for the global jihad movement.

    Obama has made clear he favors a swift American withdrawal from Iraq, direct dialogue with Iran – the largest state sponsor of terrorism – and a more "evenhanded" approach toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    What do the terrorists think about these policies? Well, I recently asked them:

    Ramadan Adassi, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades terror group in the West Bank's Anskar refugee camp, pointed to Obama's rise to stardom as "an important success. He won popularity in spite of the Zionists and the conservatives."


    Abu Hamed, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades in the northern Gaza Strip, explained Democrat candidates' anti-war positions "prove that important leaders are understanding the situation differently and are understanding the price and the consequences of the American policy in Iraq and in the world."


    Muhammad Saadi, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank town of Jenin, said talk of withdrawal from Iraq makes him feel "proud."


    "As Arabs and Muslims we feel proud of this talk," he told me for my book. "Very proud from the great successes of the Iraqi resistance. This success that brought the big superpower of the world to discuss a possible withdrawal."


    Abu Abdullah, a leader of Hamas' military wing in the Gaza Strip, was more direct: the policy of withdrawal, he stated, "proves the strategy of the resistance is the right strategy against the occupation."
    What about dialogue with America's enemies, such as sit-downs with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Obama has so fervently advocated?

    Muhammad Abdel-Al, spokesman and a senior leader of the Popular Resistance Committees terror group, recently explained U.S. willingness to negotiate and initiate dialogue "shows the Islamic resistance is bringing the giant [America] to its knees."

    "It would be a great achievement complimented by more and more dead American soldiers they will carry in coffins to the U.S.," said Abdel-Al.

    These terrorists are not just spewing rhetoric. Obama's policies absolutely will further their goal of world domination.

    A lot of people think terrorism is about pieces of territory. That Iraqi insurgents just want an American retreat from Iraq and Afghanistan. That Hezbollah simply wants a piece of territory it claims belongs to Lebanon. That Hamas is fighting only to destroy Israel. What most people need to understand is that these are only the various Islamic terrorist group's short term goals. The singular overall objective of Islamic terrorism anywhere – and terrorists are boastful about this – is to spread their extremist belief system around the world.

    Rep. King also indicated terrorists would rejoice if Obama were elected due to the senator's ties to Islam and his middle name.

    "His middle name is the name of the grandson of Muhammad. It's used many, many times throughout the Muslim world and it associates itself with the religion and with the heritage and with the struggle and with some of the violence that's over there as well," King clarified in a radio interview. "And so it isn't just one person who was a dictator in Iraq, it's a thread that goes through the entire Muslim world."

    While many terrorists commented to me they believe one day there will be a Muslim in the White House dictating sharia Islamic laws, I spoke with more than a few terrorists who were nervous about Obama's middle name. They explained they believe Obama would try to distance himself from Islam and from anti-Israel policies to prove he is not a Muslim. The terrorists instead focused largely on Obama's policies.

    "The day will come when Islam will enter every house and will spread over the entire world,” Hamas' Gaza leader and former foreign minister Mahmoud al-Zahar announced at a rally last year.

    Make no mistake about it, terrorists worldwide believe Obama's policies will bring this day closer.

  24. "Security Camera Sees Through Clothes Without Showing Skin: The camera works at a range of up to 25 meters, making it potentially useful for both single-person screening and crowd scenarios."


    By Thomas Claburn

    A security camera that can peer discreetly through clothing to spot explosives, drugs, and weapons will be shown at a government security conference in the United Kingdom on Wednesday.
    Its maker, ThruVision Ltd., insists it can detect both metallic and nonmetallic objects under clothing without revealing details of the subject's body. The camera works at a range of up to 25 meters, making it potentially useful for both single-person screening and crowd scenarios.

    Concerns about the personal privacy and dignity of travelers remain a point of contention for critics of high-tech scanning technologies. When the U.S. Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) last year began testing a millimeter wave scanning system at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport last year, privacy and civil liberties groups expressed concern that the clothing-penetrating scans showed travelers' bodies in graphic detail and that such scans might not be optional in the future.

    The TSA has dismissed worries about its technology, noting last year that in test of backscatter scanning -- a similar technology -- in Phoenix, about 79% of travelers singled out for secondary screening opted for a backscatter scan rather than a pat-down.

    However, a 2007 report issued the National Research Council's Committee on Assessment of Security Technologies for Transportation concluded that "Millimeter-wavelength/terahertz image quality raises personal privacy issues that need to be addressed."

    The ThruVision T5000 camera comes from space technology developed to scrutinize dying stars. It operates in the terahertz range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which typically includes frequencies from 300 GHz to 3 THz. Millimeter waves, the kind used by the TSA's scanner, fall within the 30 GHz to 300 GHz range.

    Terahertz rays, or T-rays, remain a subject of interest to researchers because they can penetrate organic materials without the potential damage done by ionizing radiation like X-rays. Because T-rays are absorbed by water, they can be used to identify materials with differing water content, which is important in biomedical imaging; they can also be used to identify liquid explosives, which have become an issue in security screening.

    "Acts of terrorism have shaken the world in recent years and security precautions have been tightened globally," said Clive Beattie, ThruVision's CEO, in a statement. "The T5000 dramatically extends the security surveillance envelope for ThruVision's passive body scanning products used at important sites and events. The ability to see both metallic and nonmetallic items on people out to 25 meters is certainly a key capability that will enhance any comprehensive security system deployment."

    National Research Council's report sees promise in millimeter-wave and terahertz scanning technology but cautions that the TSA should weigh system cost, the probability of detection, the false-alarm rate, and the rate at which travelers can be screened against what's currently possible with X-ray systems.
