Sniff

What with this, the Ferraro scandal, and the Hillary-Obama debacle, and with their convention likely to outperform 1968's for level of acrimony, violence, and rioting, the Democrats sure seem to be wallowing in a quagmire.

"How SWEET it is!"

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

He should've gotten this over with on Monday - and alone, without putting his wife through that crap. What a jackarse.

His attorneys probably needed time to cut a deal with prosecutors to keep him out of jail.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

ROFLMAO!

[Darksheare]

Verdict: TROLL.

[MEG33]

Agree

Welcome to FR!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Silda (thinking): "Let's see...I want the houses, cars, half, no, three quarters of your cash and investments, alimony, your life insurance, your social security, the family dog..."

[Darksheare]

He’s so far posted lots of nonsense and drivel.
We’ll see if he can spark a few extra neurons.

Is Senator David Vetter next

How many are on the client list? Hundreds? Thousands? Bet there isn't a bottle of antacid left unsold in Washington DC.

What ever happened to that Democrat with the $100K in his freezer? That sure dropped off the radar screen.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

NEITHER department dreamed what they'd be busting would turn out to be a really high end, international prostitution ring with sophisticated money laundering techniques and probable mob connections.

I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for bringing down a lucrative mob business. The worst might not be over for the scumbag ex-Governor.

[WakeUpAndVote]

So did this one,

But, he's a RAT, so it's OK. Ain't that right Flake? Uh, Flake? Cat go your tongue?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Here's my new graphic... : )

This was Dominoe:

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

There was a report issued 45 minutes after he resigned that said “No deal was made with the Feds”... I am counting the hours till the list of charges gets revealed.

The Feds probably told him "Resign, then we'll talk."

[The Mayor]

I have a feeling the list they have on him is real long.

[boop]

"Wonder what the political ramifications are of appointing yourself as a senator?"

I don't think that would be kosher. It reminds me of when liberal commentators were exploring the possibility of Bill Clinton pardoning himself.

[TheDoctorNoh]

Hmm, I do have to hand it to Spitzy, he seems to have gotten his money's worth.

Meet "Kristen," the 22-year-old woman who brought down the governor

MARCH 12--Meet "Kristen," the high-priced hooker who trysted with Eliot "Client-9" Spitzer last month at that Washington, D.C. hotel. The 22-year-old prostitute's real name is Ashley Alexandra Dupre (though she was born Ashley Youmans), according to a New York Times report. On the following pages you'll find an assortment of photos that the young prostitute has previously uploaded to her MySpace page, which describes Kristen/Ashley as an aspiring musician who left home at 17 and has been in New York City since 2004.

[The Mayor]

Funny you posted that, I just found it and was posting it in my blog. I haven’t published it yet though. She is a cute one but worth that kind of money and to throw away a future? His own doing did him in.

Since this all broke my stats have gone off the charts and right now the site appears to be down... To much traffic? I have no idea. http://AlbanysInsanity.com
