Some cynics say Attorney General Spitzer was running a protection racket and would call Spitzer an “extortionist.” He would threaten a corporation with a lawsuit.....The lawsuits would cost them millions in legal fees and damage control....so they paid up to “appease the Spitzer beast” figuting a "settlement" would make him go away.

Course every corporate payoff makes the beast stronger and his appetite bigger. He then threatens their neighbor, and then the next neighbor - until the entire block on Wall Street is paying ransom, and then the next block, and so on.

Spitz learned the protection racket from Unions who had learned it from the Sicilian Mafia.

Giuliani used the same scam.......and earned enough under the table to get himself into the Mayor's office.

Rudy and Eliot are two peas in a pod. Of Course, Rudy used taxpayer money to harbor his mistress.

These two "prosecutors" imbued with god-like powers by trusting voters along with former prosecutors like now CONgressman Dan Lungren (good buddies with CONgressman wannabealloveragain Doug Ose) just make me VERY WARY of electing them to ANYTHING, EVER AGAIN!!!

What do they say? "Power corrupts! Absolute power corrupts absolutely!!" And I say, there's a little larceny in every human heart and people should be careful not to tempt that little devil in another person too much!!!

By the way... if power is such an aphrodesiac, why did Eliot NessSpithead need whores???
