They were out to get him. Bushies, Invest bankers, Credit Card companies, Wall street, The Jewish Mafia, the real Mafia, The Repulican estiablishment, the Democrratic Mafia, etc. He was a threat to the monied rentier class.

That said, he knew this more than anyone. Hence, to fight this battle he has to as pure as driven snow. He wasn’t. It is a shame, thats all. A shame.

More seriously, The NY Times offers this not-too-self-congratulatory recap of how they broke the story.

In situations like this, you can always count on the NY Post.

Whoah! that was quick. Between me posting that comment (and looking at the myspace page just before it) and right now, the myspace page has disappeared.

You're right DeltaNative! And according to ABC news, it's this person who, her myspace page sez, is an r&b singer. So let me make sure I understand this: Being a hooker is her day job?

P.S. What is Silda doing standing there? Hasn’t she changed the locks yet?

It is a fascinating news story. Spitzer’s apparent hypocrisy boggles the mind. What’s even more intriguing, however, is that her pictures are now floating around!

Mind you, DN, I didn’t call it “most right-on,” just “most intriguing.”

As for Spitzer’s (relatively) quick resignation, I guess he’s not dealing with the overwhelming case of denial that pathetic Larry Craig is.

I don’t think that article holds much water. When the SITTING governor of a state is making wire transfers to shell corporations, the feds just HAVE to investigate. This isn’t a Republican or Bloomberg or Bruno plot; Dick Cheney didn’t cook this one up; this one is simple. Spitzer got caught with his pants down (literally and figuratively). Plain and simple.

All he was accused of is frequenting prostitutes – nothing more. The only people indicted (so far) are the sex trafficers, not the johns. However, because of the tactics he had employed during his tenure, he was left with no friends in Albany. Both NY Democrats and Republicans were equally happy to see him go. At least he had enough respect for his post to resign (cf. Larry Craig).
