If Karl Rove, the President’s campaign and communications advisor had been exposed as misusing government resources to blacken the name of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, I think we could guarantee blanket negative coverage of this by the mainstream media. In fact we have had the bizarre spectacle of more than two years standing in which ridiculous non-entities like Joseph Wilson have been given huge coverage in their campaign against Rove. Wilson wanted to see Rove “removed from the White House in chains” over a leak involving Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame.
Wilson’s evidence against Rove was little more than criminality was the sort of thing that Wilson thought he might do. An investigation lasting over a year and costing millions concluded that the leak was not criminal and Rove was not responsible anyway. None of this prevented the media from pretending that Wilson’s campaign was something significant. Another person not responsible for the leak was sentenced to prison for apparently lying during the investigation. More blanket coverage. And, of course, because the person worked in Dick Cheney’s office, it was fine to hint that Dick Cheney was behind the campaign.
So it seems a little odd that the Governor of New York is getting such gentle treatment from the media over a real scandal . . .

Double standard political operative alert!
"You fu_king cross me again, and I will throw you under a fu_king steamroller! You got that! I will come after you!"**
**A quote by then Attorney General Spitzer threatening a reporter who questioned his brutal and possibly illegal tactics against a Wall Street executive."
Spitzer is a Machiavellian, out of control, ruthless, vile, profane, Godless Democrat.
Ping.
Then he probably fits right in with The Elders
>>>Elements of the text in the Protocols appears to be plagiarized from an 1864 pamphlet, Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu (Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu), written by the French satirist Maurice Joly.
Emphasis: Machiavelli
What’s wrong with these prosecutors?

I can’t disagree. I am glad that he seems to have been found out at last. I don’t see the Attorney General’s office dropping this. The AG, Andrew Cuomo, wishes he was in the big chair, and plans to be as soon as he can get rid of Spitzer.
Let’s hope they damage each other enough for a GOP candidate to have a real chance in 2010.
Spitzer saved my life once. A bunch of guys was beating me up and Spitzer walked up to them and said, “OK guys, you can stop now.”
Thank you.
You mean like the Clinton's using the FBI to investigate and bring drummed-up charges against Billy Dale of the Travel Office? Oh wait, the press didn't cover that either.
Welcome. Did you like the bible verse?
Yes, I thought it fit like a glove.
Any person, and I mean anyone in any capacity that says something like this needs locked up, jailed or killed. It's simply not acceptable behavior. Any governor, president, member of congress that says this needs to be cuffed, gagged, and put in shackles in the town square so folks can spit on them.
Yes
Locked up and jailed would be enough for me.
Spitzer is out of control, and dangerous. Just look at the guy. He is perhaps a sociopath.
But, thanks to the wonderful voters of the state where I was born (New York) - we have the likes of him as Governor, and Chuckie and Hillary as Senators.
The New York Post has really been heroic in this saga. It was their journalistic bravery and tenacity that exposed this scandal.
Now, justice must be done.
Don't underestimate State Sen Bruno from NY. He won't rest until Spitzer gets the justice that is coming to him.
As long as the GOP doesn’t nominate an ethically challenged moron like Jeanne Pirro, we may have a chance.
