ELIOT SPITZ FIRE(Redux)

ALBANY - Gov. Spitzer viciously berated a state lawmaker, saying, "I am a f - - - ing steamroller" who will crush the assemblyman and anyone else who stands in his way, The Post has learned.

Sources told The Post yesterday that an enraged Spitzer bitterly denounced Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco last week after the Schenectady-based Republican called to complain that he had been cut out of negotiations on a just-announced proposed new state ethics law.

"Listen, I'm a f - - - ing steamroller, and I'll roll over you and anybody else," Democrat Spitzer angrily yelled at Tedisco - who was driving in his car and speaking on a cellphone, sources familiar with the conversation said.

Spitzer then boasted about his political strength, saying, "I've done more in three weeks than any governor has done in the history of the state," the sources said.

Tedisco later said, "He [Spitzer] has a different side to him than a lot of people realize...

..."I think at some point he is going to lose it," Tedisco added.

The sources said Tedisco almost responded with angry words of his own - then decided that caution in dealing with the popular governor was the better part of valor.

Spitzer spokesman Darren Dopp didn't deny that a blowup had occurred, saying only that he would have "no comment" on what he called a "private discussion" between the governor and Tedisco.

But Dopp did insist that the description of the events provided by the sources had been "embellished."

It's not the first time Spitzer has been accused of going too far.

Allegations that he engaged in threatening and heavy-handed verbal conduct surfaced during his second term as attorney general, with most of the attention focused on the claim that he sought to intimidate John Whitehead, then chairman of the Lower Manhattan Development Corp.

Whitehead, in a Wall Street Journal article published in 2005, said Spitzer ripped him in an angry telephone call after he criticized the then-attorney general's investigation of American International Group CEO Maurice "Hank" Greenberg.

Whitehead, who said he took notes during the conversation, said Spitzer had said, "Mr. Whitehead, it's now a war between us, and you've fired the first shot. I will be coming after you. You will pay the price."

An aide to Spitzer insisted at the time that no threats were made against Whitehead, although Spitzer himself conceded, "I disagree with people passionately."

A producer for the Sean Hannity radio talk show also contended that Spitzer had threatened the show in 2000 after he had hung up in anger during a guest appearance.

They say that rage and lust are on the same side of the coin. Spitzer is a prime example of that, apparently.

Spitzer has been long overdue for his “Come to Jesus” moment...

He needed his ass kicked into the reality that he was not elected to be God — but only a CIVIL SERVANT whose job is to ENFORCE the law while at the same time, OBEYING the law..

Watching the arrogant #%$#@#$ fall from grace is truly a joy.

Para-Ord.45 has posted one of the links, discussed yesterday by Sean Hannity.

This link is for anyone who feels that Sprizter was railroaded for no real crime. They can read what he did as NY’s AG in a prostitution case. When it wasn’t about him, Spritzer saw prostitution as a real and dangerous crime.

When the photos of the Gov’s ‘escort’ come out the caption might be “T’ was beauty killed the beast”?

“Bet the rats can’t stand this, they would have covered this one up if they had a chance!!!! ROFLMAO at this one!”

It’s probably a safe bet that the NY Slimes has been spiking Sprizters whoring activities story for a long time.

The elite left wing rats have gotten by with murder and other corruption for decades because of their control of the MSM.

That control is being eroded each day.

Like poor Ted Kennedy’s tragedy after he killed Mary Jo and left her body in his station wagon for hours until the Kennedy’s got their lawyers and MSM mediots going.

There were no real stories about that manslaughter, just the tragedy of the Kennedy family. That bs let him stay in office and be one of the worst $inators in history.
