WORST THAN ELIOT SPITZER (if it were possible): Formula One boss, Max Mosley, had sado-masochist sex with 5 prostitutes, for 5 hours (!!), reenacting a concentration camp scene (!!) in which he played the role of both Nazi guard and inmate.

Here are the ugly photos. [UPDATE: Photos and videos have been taken down.] The associations representing the victims of the Nazi regime are all up in arms, as you may imagine.

UPDATE #2: The Times of London says he should resign. I concur.

UPDATE #3: Max Mosley’s Nazy sex party is big news in Germany. Bild does webhost the photos and the video.

UPDATE #4: Israelis are not that amused, too, as you may understand. (And they publish one censored photo.).

That gives the opportunity to look into the Formula One prediction markets at BetFair and TradeSports.

As for the NASCAR prediction markets, there is no liquidity, yet. – BetFair – TradeSports

Eliot Spitzer has simply demonstrated once again that those who rise to the top of organizations are very often the most demented, conflicted individuals in any group.

The only question that remains for those who work for such people and vote for them when they run is why we continue to be grossed out, shocked and scandalized when the very personality attributes that got them to the top manifest themselves in questionable form.

“Prostitution is inevitable, so we might as well legalize and regulate it.”

That’s what many libertarians think, right? But Nicholas Kristof has a piece in the New York Times that is well informed and balanced… and that could change the mind of some libertarians…

Eliot Spitzer’s bio

Justin Wolfers is a wise man.

Zubin Jelveh highlights this piece of wisdom (which I didn’t quote in my previous post):

It seems to me that the truly important violations of the public trust are when the power we give our government officials is sold, rather than what government officials choose to buy. Yet our political scandals are too often dominated by private mistakes, rather than public misdeeds. This is why I’m more worried about what the SEC is selling than what Eliot Spitzer has been buying.

Psstt… CNBC will have a special Eliot Spitzer piece starting at 8:00 PM EST, tonite (Wednesday, March 12), I’ve just heard.

Psstt… And “Page 6″ has the pic of that woman, that “Kristen”…

Room 871:

Ratted by his bank, sex-addict New York governor Eliot Spitzer (alias “Client 9″) resigns.

What brought him down

Never talk when you can nod, and never nod when you can wink, and never write an e-mail because it’s death. You’re giving prosecutors all the evidence we need.

Dixit Eliot Spitzer, the then-New York attorney general.

Frightening.

Psstt… Somebody registered Client9.com just after news broke…

Is Justin Wolfers a libertarian? Probably not.

Justin Wolfers:

If we judge politicians by what they buy, then Eliot Spitzer has clearly violated the publicâ€™s trust: he purchased the services of a high-priced prostitute, and may well end his political career as a result.

Other people think very differently.
