Spitzer's Feeble Defense: Hey, Politicians Lie All The Time About All Sorts Of Stuff!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/09/2013 7:28:41 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

As defenses go to the charge of having lied to the people of New York about illegal activities, Eliot Spitzer's might not have been the best. Hey, politicans lie all the time about all sorts of stuff, was the essence of Client #9-turned-Comptroller-candidate's response.

Spitzer's lame defense [he literally said: "I think we all know that politicians dissemble all the time about negotiations, on substantive issues and probably on personal issues as well"] came in response to some serious grilling by Mark Halperin on today's Morning Joe. The Spitzer segment was set up to feature Mika Brzezinski as chief inquisitor, but it was actually Halperin who subjected Spritzer to the closest scrutiny.

That’s enough for a liberal voter. They aren’t very smart, and will forgive almost anything as long as the offender has a D behind their name.

This country is so far gone, it’s just a matter of when it will hit bottom.

Was “Have you stopped being a statist bag of filth?” and “Have you learned the difference between prosecution and persecution?” among the questions?

Client #9: "I took my troubles down to Madame Rue
she got me pols' sex vids adding to DNC-NSA 'truth',
she's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine,
with this any Dem can't lose; da position's mine."

What’s the problem, Jerry Brown admitted that he like all politicians lie to the people to get elected. After that admission and his HISTORY in California, the moron still got elected Governor.

You are lying again, Spitzer.

Politicians lie 100% of the time about every single thing, particularly democrats.

“I think we all know that politicians dissemble all the time about negotiations, on substantive issues and probably on personal issues as well”

dis·sem·ble

To conceal one’s true motives, feelings, or beliefs.
To disguise or conceal (a feeling or intention).

I’m not quite sure who’s worse, the liar or the dissembler.

You can laugh, but increasingly the low-info voters out there shrug and go along with that.
