Spitzer also asked:

Riveting, I tell you. Riveting.

Sadly, public hanging for treason is no longer politically correct.

suggested arresting Sen. Risser might not be as easy as some believe. How did Spitzer ever pass the bar? (There wasn't a hooker inside badda bing)
Nobody is talking about "arresting" the Democrats and holding them for a criminal trial.
What is attempting to be done is using police powers as allowed to compel them to attend a legislative session, which appears to be quite appropriate under Wisconsin law.

Spitzer vs Weiner-Oy,Vey!
To: Dr. Ursus
You know, I’d vote for Spitzer if it came down to that. Weiner is a worthless little putz. I despise Client 9, but he’d sure as heck be the better mayor.
