Spitzer: 'Mistakes' Prevented Me From Helping Obama
nypost.com ^ | November 15, 2008

Disgraced love gov Eliot Spitzer has shamefacedly admitted the "mistakes" he made with a hooker are barring him from assisting the incoming Obama administration in turning around the economy.

"Mistakes I made in my private life now prevent me from participating in these issues as I have in the past," he wrote in an editorial slated to run in tommarow's Washington Post.

Tell me Spitz, what would be more fun — crawling in bed with her or working for Obama?

Thank you for your candor. You see, it’s really not that hard to be honest.

The only help he could give Obama is where to buy Jumbo size Q-Tips.

I think Mr. STD should stick with obama...their ears match.

But he doesn't have to worry, from what I've seen the democrat/socialist party only shuts you out if you are a combination of White, Christian, and of good character...as far as I can see he only qualifies on one of three traits.

You'll be in good company with the libs Spitzer...I say go for it. You and the bent one can swap horror, I mean, whore stories.

Barack Obama doesn’t believe anyone should be punnished with a mistake. Oh wait, he can’t abort this problem away.

Oh dear God no! This waste of human flesh was prevented from helping the “Son of Man” from achieving his goal of transfiguration.

What happens to these creeps that makes them think they are needed to save the world? The guy doesn’t even have a background in economics for Pete’s sake!

Now that the Marxists hold power in all 3 branches, Spitzer needs to rehabilitate himself and get back in the game. I suspect he's tired of golf, driving around in his 400 hp Porsche, and discreetly pursuing, ahem, other recreation. He's tired of the “if looks could kill” glares at the silent dinner table from his scorned wife and kids. Time to get over the mid-life crisis, get back in the game, and destroy the lives of some evil capitalists.

“Obama to Spitzer: “You had your pie.””

Silda to Spitzer, “you had everyone’s pie.”

A settled pattern of illegal, destructive behavior extending over many years...this is much more than "mistakes". Spitzer is incapable of acknowledging the depth of his culpability, and is therefore undeserving of forgiveness by the public at large.

And so ends another day of sermonizing...

Oh, and another thing...

Last week Spitzer escaped criminal charges for his activities, and immediately we start hearing from him. In a few days, he'll be telling friends and then reporters that, well, since he wasn't charged with breaking any laws, he really deserves to be forgiven and to return to political activity. For the public good, of course.

I can smell the stench of Spitzer's shamelessness from way over here...

"Mistakes I made in my private life..."

It wasn't a private matter when you were prosecuting such activity, you vile hypocrite. You should have been indicted, IMO.

Oh I feel short changed! No Spitzer to turn the economy around. Damn!

Arrogance thy name is Spitzer.
