[Behind Liberal Lines]

Since many of my CoE ping list members live in New York, I thought they'd like to see this.

[coloradan]

It would be nice if the call were taped, and Spitzer's own words were posted on the internet.

[Zeppo]

Spitzer denies that politics play a role in his office's activities.

(But he is a liar)

[Gay State Conservative]

Spitzer's an amateur and a fool for having done this.He'd be wise to study the methods of his heroine and mentor,The Former Twelfth Lady,in the future.

As the Mafia used to say,"never write when you can speak, never speak when you can nod,and never nod when you can wink".

Hope it's not too far off topic, but today's WSJ ran a letter to the editor re Spitzer:

. . . . One point, however, needs further emphasis: Strikes by public employees are prohibited under New York State's Taylor Law. And New York has as its chief law enforcement officer Attorney General Elliot Spitzer, a prosecutor of relentless zeal, unlimited resources and possessed of an almost extrsensory ability to detect wrongdoing. I thought Mr. Spitzer would've thrown Roger Toussaint and the rest of the TWO Local 100 leadership in jail by now.

Maybe he just couldn't make it into work this week.

Spitzer denies that politics play a role in his office's activities.

BWAAA-HAAA-HAAA-HAAA!!!

Spitzer is still dreaming that in 2000 years, someone will ask for a 'Spitzer salad.'

[TX Bluebonnet]

In November, the New York Daily News reported that Spitzer was using fines and settlements obtained from these prosecutions to hand out "millions of dollars to politically connected organizations that could boost his campaign for governor in 2006."

How does the AG "hand out" money? Where do fines and settlement monies go and who controls it and under what guidelines?

[Toskrin]

I'm not from New York, but Spitzer seems as bad as they get. I read an interview with him, I believe in People, where he said that he was going to make businesses conform to his idea of what the business world should be like. Not the law, but his own beliefs.

He seems the type of politician that hasn't been seen in this country for a long time and now is only encountered only in third world hellholes.

I better watch it with my opinion...

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Mr. Spitzer is a Democrat, I take it.

[CaptRon]

He did the same thing to Sean Hannity about 5 years ago while on the radio.

[MikeA]

Spitzer is the hero of the MSM, but in reality he's nothing but a jack-booted thug who's as full of himself as a person can get. Spitzer is running for governor of Screwed York by persecuting business, and of course the leftist dolts of New York love that. The fact is, these same leftists who love Spitzer and call Bush a "fascist" should take a look at their boy Elliot to see who the real fascist turd is.

He has continually over-stepped his bounds and abused his power, even going after mutual fund operators ILLEGALLY when oversight of mutual fund operators is the job of the federal govt, specifically the SEC. Fortunately a federal judge swatted down Der Fuhrer Spitzer and temporarily made him retreat into his little rathole on that one anyway.

So it doesn't surprise me that the Nazi low-life Spitzer is now going after writers who dare criticize what a power-hungry tyrannt he is. If Screwed York votes for this vile man, they deserve the Nazi-like governance they'll get at his hands.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

I'm shocked to learn that prosecutions by E. Spittle might be politically motivated - shocked I tell you.

[Jhensy]

Don't forget Spitzer's daddy made his money in real estate; Boy Wonder has been curiously lax in going after THAT industry, for all his zeal against financial companies.

And where was he during this transit strike?

[Joe Boucher]

Sounds like a little chuckie schumer to me.
A dick.

[ez]

Spitzer, considered the front-runner for New York's Governor in 2006, has come under increasing criticism...for ..."politically motivated" prosecutions of New York business leaders.

Gee, ya think?Funny how spitzer's friends in the press include "in some circles" and "some think." I rewrote it the way they would have said the same about Bush.

[Cold Heart]

Good olde FREE REPUBLIC. I've read down the posts replies. This place is information central.
