Like what?
I have a coin-operated laundry business right now, and I'm going to open a couple more. Who knows? In five years I could have 500; it could be like Starbucks. I'm going to open one more in Pahrump and then a couple in some college communities. I'm doing some research on where to go with it now.

What's the status of your DUI thing?
Eh, you know, whatever it is, I don't care. Whether it's a fine, whether they send me to county jail, whether it's drug court. I don't care. Get it over with. Give it to me.

Do you ever Google yourself?
No. Why should I? So I can read a bunch of negative stuff? Great. More power to 'em.

They've been making a lot of fun of your mug shot lately.
I'm sure. It's the worst picture ever. I can't look like Miss America all the time. And I don't try to.

If you were going to advise Gov. Spitzer on what to do now, what would you tell him?
Step down from office. And, dude, if you're into hookers, that's fine. But lie to the public? That's not right.

Tiestofan is missing the boat. Sure, some high priced call girls are not sex slaves and make good money. But Eliot Spitzer is not just a "famous john" who had sex for money over the last 10+ years. Spitzer was the chief law enforcement officer of New York State, as well as a former U.S. Attorney, who was doing business with Organized Crime at the same time that he was sworn to prosecute them. In fact, Eliot Spitzer did more than protect this particular crime family, he also prosecuted their competitors. But what other businesses was this crime family which had such dirt on Spitzer involved with? What other crimes was Spitzer obligated to bury and ignore for the benefit of those who knew about his $80K whore habit? Surely, the death-threat against the whistleblower to the Worldcom bankruptcy fraud may be just one of the crimes which Spitzer covered up in order to protect himself. How many other crimes did he protect? Only a special prosecutor will be able to unravel the web of the corrupt acts and ommissions by Eliot Spitzer when he was the powerful Attorney General and U.S. Attorney.

Sex takes TWO people. Each person should take responsibility for their actions.

You cannot buy something if there is nothing for sale.
