Specifically, I agree with David Freddoso when he says that a call to return Spitzer donations is patently absurd.
His money is neither the product of illegality, nor is is an attempt to buy access for an illegal or unsavory cause.
His quote at the end is prize:
If their PR pain threshold is low enough, then I suppose the candidates will return the money or give it to charity (perhaps to battered women’s shelters or something). But I’d actually admire any one of them who has the courage to keep the money and say:
“Well, at least this $2,300 won’t be spent on a whore!”
Then again, that may not be entirely accurate. It is being spent on candidates for Congress…
Amusing.
