As I recall, Spitzer and Schumer are each convinced that he should be the first Jewish President, and they are not on friendly terms.

Alot of these are donations.....and some of them are shake downs.

I noticed Ivanka Trump but am surprised not to see Donald Trump.

He will definatly donate, his and Spitzers dad are friends who go back years and years.

Its NYS, no one is one good terms with each other.

Hilary went out and personally recruited someone to run in the primary against Spitzer.

That bombed, and the guy is dead weight now, so she gave a half a$$ endorsement to Spitzer.

Chuck and Hillary have had problems with Spitzer since, among the many folks he prosecuted were big donors and fund raisers for Chuck and Hillary.

Since then, he has been shaking them down for donations, which is problematic as Chuck needs the same donors since he is chairman of the democratic senatorial committe, and they are tapping out a donor base that Hillary Clinton is going to need.

Also note, none of these folks like anybody who is running for AG.

I'm still waiting for someone to get to the bottom of why Spitzer kept Dietrich Snell from testifying before Curt Weldon's committee. Inquiring minds want to know...

Christie Brinkley better hang onto her money. She's got a divorce lawyer to pay...again.

This putz, if you can believe it about 4 months ago ran right in front of my cab and I almost hit him, and he just looked at me and gave me this look of contempt and decided to keep JAYWALKING across the street. He was on 79th near 5th and decided to just run out into oncoming traffic like dogs, drug addicts, kids and liberals do.... Liberals more often because they feel the world revolves around them. Matter of fact, it was about 50 feet where RINO Bloomberg lives, so he could have been visiting him. And if I hit him, guess who would have been blamed? "Crazed cabbie puts Spitzer in hospital!"

Yeah, how does that work? She probably has more loot than this hubby number 4. But he cheated so she`ll probably get his loot. Anyway, I give her half a year before she starts with the freakish plastic surgery. "Oh, he left me for the young girls!"

I think Spit-man has collected a bunch of money from the Oneida Indians who run an illegal Casino upstate. Spitty is not saying how much he got from the Indians.

He needs to resign. I admire how he brought the league back from the dead in the 1980s, but he's long in the tooth now and is presiding over a league filled with hip-hop thugs.

Actually two years ago I said that Spitzie thinks he'll be Pressy ... but we must agree he is deluded!
