On CNN’s In the Arena, Eliot Spitzer morphed back to his days in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, donning reading glasses and telling “fugitive” Wisconsin Senator Fred Risser he “poked around your state’s constitution for a few minutes this afternoon.” The senator, who joined the program by phone from an “undisclosed location,” is part of a group of Wisconsin lawmakers who fled the state in an effort to stop Gov. Scott Walker’s move to end collective bargaining. Those lawmakers now face the possibility of arrest.Spitzer, reading from the Wisconsin constitution, suggested arresting Sen. Risser might not be

Spitzer also asked:

“Do you take a bus or a lunch to work?”

“Are you happy or married?”

“What’s your favorite color?”

“When are you going to clean up your room?”

Riveting, I tell you. Riveting.

Sadly, public hanging for treason is no longer politically correct.

suggested arresting Sen. Risser might not be as easy as some believe.

How did Spitzer ever pass the bar? (There wasn't a hooker inside badda bing)

Nobody is talking about "arresting" the Democrats and holding them for a criminal trial.

What is attempting to be done is using police powers as allowed to compel them to attend a legislative session, which appears to be quite appropriate under Wisconsin law.

King Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail.

Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

Bridgekeeper: Huh? I... I don't know that.

Bridgekeeper: (flies off bridge to his death) Auuuuuuuugh-h-h-h-h!!!!!!!

Sir Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows?

King Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know

Perfect!

And don’t ever forget to “bring out your dead!”

[MsLady]

No kidding!!! Wonder who’s footing the bill while they are in IL, so these low life’s can continuing leeching off the taxpayers?

[freekitty]

Oh good grief.

[paul51]

There’s a provision here, Article Four, Section 15, that says members of the legislature shall, in all cases except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest

Does that mean a state senator can not be arrested for a misdemeanor?

Spitzer vs Weiner-Oy,Vey!

[NativeNewYorker]

You know, I’d vote for Spitzer if it came down to that. Weiner is a worthless little putz. I despise Client 9, but he’d sure as heck be the better mayor.
