NEW YORK New York Republicans will seek to impeach Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer if he does not resign within 48 hours, New York Assembly Republican leader James Tedisco told FOX News exclusively.
"We believe it is an illegal activity he has been involved with," Tedisco said speaking on FOX's "Hannity & Colmes."
"We're going to give him 24 to 48 hours to do the right thing, and the right thing is to resign because he has been compromised. If that's not the case ... we're going to ask the speaker to start impeachment proceedings," Tedisco said Monday night.

This is pointless. Let the Democrats call for his resignation. They’re playing right into Spitzer’s hand.

Good, but I wonder if Spitzy has a "doomsday" plan for dealing with the Republicans--something like Clinton's Larry Flynt strategy from 1998.
I wouldn't put it past him.

I had to go to DU to read the reaction to this news.
Heads are exploding in DUmmieland and it is more entertaining than anything I have read on a message board.

I don’t think this is a good idea.
Let reality operate. There’s no reason to bring politics into it at this point. That’s how this will be perceived.

Fact: the NY State Assembly Speaker, Sheldon Silver is a Democrat and the NY statehouse is 72% Democrat (108-42). Any impeachment motion would be entirely in the hands of the Democrats.
Fact: Sheldon Silver and Eliot Spitzer despise one another, because Spitzer tried to force Silver into appointing Spitzer's choice for State Comptroller after the exit of Alan Hevesi in disgrace before his elective term was over.
Spitzer refused to acknowledge that the state constitution puts the power of appointment in Silver's hands, not Spitzer's.

"We believe it is an illegal activity he has been involved with," Tedisco said What goes around comes around...
...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...

The spin from Barbara Walters on The View was sickening. She made him out to be yet another moral hypocrite. “These moral crusaders fall from grace” yada yada yada. She was trying to spin this lib dem’s fall into a conservative fall.

Client Number Nine needs to Resign!

The Democrats will not call for his resignation, nor will he resign. These are Democrats! When has a Democrat ever resigned over moral turpitude, illegal activities, or anything else for that matter. He could shoot somebody cold dead and they would circle the wagons to defend him. It's “power uber ales” with them. Nothing else matters.

Imagine if GWB said a thing like that to a Demo member of Congress. They would have impeached him by now.

Joe Bruno, who Governor Steamroller (aka “Number Nine”) referred to as a “senile old bastard” and the other Republican NY pol, whos career he threatened to ruin, enjoy the last laugh.
Goodbye Steamroller.
