TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Dina Matos McGreevey knows too well what it's like to be a shell-shocked wife, standing by her man, as he confesses his sexual indiscretions on live television.
Unlike former Gov. James McGreevey, who told the country he was "a gay American" and would resign in 2004, New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer on Monday neither acknowledged paying high-priced call girls for their services nor offered to resign. He did, however, admit disappointing his family as news reports linked him to a high-end prostitution ring.

“This Iisn’t Spitzer’s First Transgression

How quickly the media “forgets” (whitewashes).

His performance and rating have been subpar (and that’s being generous)
One of Spitzer’s key campaign pledges was to reform the state budget process. While the state did pass a budget on schedule in 2007, the ultimate results fell short of what many reformers hoped Spitzer would achieve. Newscorp’s The New York Post opined, “Spitzer promised reform, and delivered something completely different” and termed the budget itself “bitterly disappointing.”[30]
Spitzer’s budget quickly turned into a deficit, as by the end of October it was projected the state would run a deficit exceeding $4 billion for the year. During Spitzer’s first year the state payroll increased, aggravating budget problem.[31] Despite increasing the public sector payroll, in late 2007 New York State started leading the nation in lost jobs

Spitzer proposed a bill that would give illegals licenses.
A 57-page report issued by the Attorney General’s office concluded that Spitzer engaged in creating media coverage concerning Senator Bruno’s travel before any Freedom of Information Law request was made.
The report criticized Spitzer’s office for using State Police resources to gather information about Bruno’s travel and releasing the information to the media
Douglas Muzzio, a Baruch College political scientist, commented that “The Watergate analogy is inescapable.” and now with the latest round, he has become another Clinton.
Before his latest scandal, his approval rating was as low as Bush’s.

In sum, like Bill Clinton, ES is a corrupt, hypocritical, vengeful, power hungry animal who will say and do anything. He’s the embodiement of at least a controlling portion of the Democratic party. Something the party tries to project onto Republicans with the aid of the “media.”
The full story won’t be reported because the media is useless.”
Ping!
new jersey people have got to be eating this up.
I’m hoping for the day that one of these prop wives, standing there humiliated before the cameras, reaches over and lands a good, solid haymaker to the face of her lying husband during his canned speech, just as he gets to the part about making “a poor decision.” Such a woman would immediately become a hero instead of a pathetic door mat.
Dina was just a beard.
All they need now is Hildabeast to join them and feel each other’s pain.
Maybe Spitzer, the woman, and McGreevey (the guy) were going to have an expensive threesome.
Why not? The whole thing is crazy but I’m glad the Democrats have been caught with their pants down, again, and again, and again. That should assure Spitzer a second term. Jockeys or boxers?
I love the part about the Gov. not acknowledging paying for his call girls. I wonder if it means he got them as freebies?
That would be great! I know my wife would...but long before I stepped in front of the microphone with my black and bleeding eye.
BS! Mayor McCheese did not simply tell the country he would resign in 2004. Rather, he announced he was resigning in August 2004, but the effective date would be November after the date that required a special election for his successor.
This has the makings of a really cheesy film, either produced by Lifetime, or Vivid Video.
.....as the media stake out their home and follow their every move. It will get worse, she said.....
(1) This man has primarily hurt his family only.(2)The press has yet another shot of adrenalin. It has been said here that they are obsolete and deteriorating in influence.
Animals have no reason. Their human counterparts are hyenas, jackals and vultures. (Sorry animals).
And a Ph.D. in private ones?
