Spitzer Resigned

The New York Times: Spitzer Resigns, Citing Personal Failings – Lt. Gov. David A. Paterson Set to Succeed Him

Gov. Eliot Spitzer, reeling from revelations that he had been a client of a prostitution ring, announced his resignation today at his headquarters in Manhattan.

    Good riddance, scumbag. Even his speech was stupid, appealing to losers and it was bellowed. Did the guy deal with people that way routinely?

    Maybe the "morally challenged" in Michigan and Florida (and in the Clinton campaign as well, Holly -- it's a liability) could have Spitzer replace Dean at the DNC and then purchase the entry of their delegates into the convention.

    Otherwise he can go back to Washington and join Gingrich as one of the fleas swarming in DC. Maybe become a lobbyist, even. (That's a good choice for him.)

    DLS- Immediately contact the new governor of Louisiana and urge him to recall David Vitter. E-mail Mitch McConnell and tell him that Sen Craig must go. You certainly aren't so partisan to suggest that they remain and Spitzer go, right?

    No, K., though Spitzer is a special dirtbag case with which I'm familiar having lived in Upstate for a couple of years. (I keep aware of things going on elsewhere than where I live and Spitzer merited some attention from everyone but he was largely New York's problem -- unlike Hillary Clinton, who never has "represented" the state and simply has used her Senate seat as entrance into DC and springboard to the Presidency.) I could go on in some detail about why Spitzer is especially bad and what it means when he was seen as a rising superstar -- contrasted with reality about not only him (which is central) but with Albany and how he boosted the very poor Cyanide-Nation-Loser-and-Worse Party reputation of the Dems. You as well as other Americans are fortunate he has been derailed, hopefully for good.

    No, I haven't neglected the others. As I said elsewhere, Gingrich (whose morality gives him worse negatives nowadays than Hillary Clinton -- Clinton would wipe the floor with Gingrich vote-wise) is one of the "revolutionaries" who now is just one of the DC insider establishment "fleas" as I call 'em. And long ago (during the 1992 riots in LA, where I was at the time) I said that what's needed is destruction "not of Main Street, but of K Street." You know what I'm talking about.

    In fact, in addition to a quip I had ready about Shaun's latest good picture (the fact is, the losers who supported the class envy and warfare that demagogue Spitzer exploited are the true little green men and women in New York and in the rest of this country), I had something else in mind when it comes to abuse of women versus morality and decency (as my goddaughters and the two other girls I helped raise would know well -- even in high school they had contempt for poor behavior by their "peers," behavior they rejected unconditionally), and Spitzer, _and_ the rest of Washington, _including_ K Street (no pun intended!).

    Somebody needs to reach out and grab a nice, luscious piece of ASH.
