There’s a shocker. /s

[airborne]

I guess a chubby intern just wasn’t good enough for Spitzer.

[coloradan]

"I think it's appropriate to wish his family well and see how things develop."

Translation: "Let me wait until after I convene a focus group to see how I should respond to this issue, in the best way to gain support amongst undecided Democrat voters."

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Kinda like asking a junkie to come out against heroine.

[ml/nj]

It's just about sex, isn't it?

I loath Spitzer. But all thes laws about making interstate telephone calls, or meeting someone in another State; I'd like to see everyone who voted for this crap go down with Spitzer.

Obviously I am sending my best wishes and thoughts to the governor and to his family,"

The guy is guilty(by his own admission) of running a cat house, which is illegal as h**, setting a fine example for obeying the law to our young people, and Hillary sends him her best wishes? That is worse than no comment.

[seekthetruth]

I heard on Fox earlier this evening that Hillary’s campaign web site has “cleaned” out any references to Spitzer. Even articles about his endorsement of Hillary. I do not go to her web site, so have not checked this out.

[rdl6989]

I’m stuned that Hillary hasn’t condemned this. /sarc

[bannie]

Didn’t I hear an “I-don’t-recall” in there somewhere?

[the invisib1e hand]

disgusting and irresponsible, Mrs. Clinton.

Dems circling the wagons, BIG time. Media complicit -- they're all being very aloof and non-committal (ie references to Spitzers "alleged ties to prostitution," when he flat out admitted it).

This is weird. Perhaps, as mindbender suggested on his thread, it leads to something really big.

The beast knows this will remind women of clinochhio’s stunts. That can’t be good. But it will be worse for Barack McGovern Obama. Wait til he has to campaign in New York with Gov. David Patterson, a blind albino who is especially hard to look at. Yeah, I’m sure those people upstate be crawling through broken glass to vote for McCain.
Either way, anybody says this doesn’t move New York to a “must campaign in” state for B. McGovern Obama doesn’t know what he is talking about. This screws Obama. He didn’t have any plans of campaigning in New York, but with this and the Jewish voters bailing out well....

[COUNTrecount]

At last !
This sex scandal is exactly where Hillary!’s 35 years of experience lies.
Surely she can support Mrs. Spitzer, based on her years of victimhood, and give her tips on how to turn this to her best advantage.
It worked wonders for her resume.

[Henchster]

She CAN'T make a comment. She either has to "Stand-by-her-man" Spitzer to keep his SD vote, and be labled a Super-Delegate Prostitute, or she loses his vote she so desperately needs by denouncing him and admitting he has to resign. To which the next question is: "Should Bill have resigned when caught perjuring himself over Monica?"

Right about now, she's thinking that Spitzer F'd HER.

If Hussein-Obama is smart, he'll call for Spitzer's resignation immediately, forcing the Bwitch to comment.

[fso301]

She doesn’t want to comment until she finds out if she knows any of the girls.

[B.O. Plenty]

I would speculate that Spitzer pissed off one too many Wall St muckety mucks. I bet that he had plenty of warning to back off...and stop prosecuting so high up.

Putting lower level people in jail is one thing, but when it moves to the penthouse is something else...really serious.

It is said that Spitzer is generally an arrogant, obnoxious, self centered jerk....his "successes" beguiled him to believe that he was bullet proof and generally above the law.

The Wall St moguls are teaching him a lesson as we speak.

His future ambitions are as dead as Gary Hart's.

Maybe Hillary finally learned....sharing.

Spitzer was “CLIENT NUMBER 9”

Makes you wonder who “CLIENT NUMBER 1” was. Do we know any oversexed politicians with property in NY?
