...calling for an end to "the politics of cynicism and division" and signing a series of ethics measures.

Sigh...what a rookie. Odds are that he'll end up getting hung on those very "ethics measures" he just signed.

Not a chance. It's always the hypocrisy, not the ethics violation that does them in. Since he's a Dim, he has no standards and, therefore, can't be a hypocrite. He'll be home free.

Did I hear him say he was going to cut taxes?

Don't hold your breath. Claiming the other guy didn't cut taxes is the closest a democrat has come to cutting them since JFK.

How about an end to taxes and legislation? How about an end to corruption and favors?

NYS has a lot going for it; unfortunately its government and NYC aren't some of those.

Spitzer reminds me of Mussolini. He and Bloomberg are a real pair.

Thanks for the ping.
I post daily about the insanity of politics in NY..
http://albanysinsanity.com/

This state is losing so much population we may be losing another seat in congress and I know we are losing a couple electoral votes.

If things do not do a turn around soon, this state is doomed.
Will things change as this is day one? Ask Bruno and Silver...

4 billion in new taxes this SOB is going to stick them with and not one goddammed apparatchik in the entire state will be laid off.

"NY'ers getting the leadership they deserve."

AMEN...How can anyone have ANY empathy for a population that puts and leaves the likes of Shmuckie and Klinton in Washington to oversee their interests - let alone Spitzer and Bloomberg in such influential positions!

Because it's NYC that puts them there, not the rest of the state. The cities always do it. NY would be a red state but for that.

To that I say; "my most sincere condolences!"

Pardon me, Mayor, but your electoral votes are equal to the number of your sinators and congresscriminals - you can't lose sinators, so it is the congresscriminals +2.

As far as that putz Schumer is concerned, he is, again in my opinion, the Worlds Greatest Ambulance Chaser. They truly deserve each other.

I read a story here a couple of years ago about the rather uncomfortable relationship between Schumer and Spitzer. Apparently, according to the article, they view each other as competition to be the country's first Jewish President.

I kid you not.

I agree, with the loss of people we will be losing another seat. I know we cannot lose senator, I wish we could and at least dump hitlery.

I'd say that he can't be a whole lot worse than Nelson Rockefeller, Mario Cuomo, or George Pataki, but if I did, I'm afraid he'd almost certainly prove me wrong.

The venom that flows through this clown's veins is the same that could be found among the millions who were waving Mao's Little Red Book across China in '66.

Yes, I've followed Eliot Spitzer for a long time. He's very much like a Communist: both ideologically, and in his brutal willingness to destroy what he rules for the sake of power, all the while pretending that he is doing it for the good of the people.
