The W. S. goons are treating it like a judge who got caught making illegal deals - now all of his old cases have to be reviewed. The guy diddled a prostitute - he didn't bilk a bunch of senior citizens out of their retirement income. The W.S. Journal edits have been more insufferable than usual.

]]> <![CDATA[The Five Most Obnoxious Grave-Dances By Spitzer Critics]]> just the fact that the asshats on Wall Street were cheering proves that Spitzer did a few good things in his life.
On CNN yesterday some Wall Streeters were whining about how Spitz "dragged so many of their collegues through the mud". These are people who basically lied so that their customers would invest their hard earned cash into crappy stocks so the broker could pocket money. Suddenly, this makes them the victims. ugh.

]]> <![CDATA[The Five Most Obnoxious Grave-Dances By Spitzer Critics]]> Not to sound too "vast right-wing conspiracy" (because they lock you up if you do), BUT...
...is the reason no one is reporting on the politics behind this takedown of Spitzer because as good Americans we all just understand that Spitzer's every private move was under scrutiny by the feds from the moment he took office?

Plus, the Mukasey OKing wiretap and investigation is the same Mukasey who is advisor to Giuliani who intends to run for governor...lots of dots to connect

And Spitzer served them his own head on a platter...

]]> <![CDATA[The Five Most Obnoxious Grave-Dances By Spitzer Critics]]> Does it concern anyone that the new governor doesn't even know when he gets screwed on the change at 7-11?

]]> <![CDATA[The Five Most Obnoxious Grave-Dances By Spitzer Critics]]> Ahhhh...
It's been fun though.
The Spitz would be SCREAMING for the resignation of ANYONE else in his situation. Self appointed... self annointed moral crusaders are always the one's with their cocks out when they think no ones looking.
Does anyone remember just earlier this week, the bill he was passing through the state senate? Trying to tax illegal drug dealers? By giving them anonymous coupons or something?
That is classic Spitzer.
It was only hours before the hooker thing, so it's disappeared. Maybe this was all to distract us from the stupidest piece of legislation ever.
Why, that would be like giving out IDs to illegal... oh- oh, wait. Right.

He's a HUMAN!!!

LEAVE SPITZY ALONE!!!

]]> <![CDATA[The Five Most Obnoxious Grave-Dances By Spitzer Critics]]> I only want to know one thing: when is the news going to break about the rest of Clients #1 through 12 now that we've heard about Spitzer and Grosvenor? Are we going to see a few more governorships change hands, or worse, scandals close to the presidential candidates?

After seeing things get straight Roman-Grecco for a couple hours of your limited existence, you can't watch CNBC the same way again. Ever.

drugman

]]> <![CDATA[The Five Most Obnoxious Grave-Dances By Spitzer Critics]]> It is amazing to me how quickly a legacy can unravel. Last week, Spitzer was trying to make a political comeback after a tough year. And now the man is completely buried. All because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants. Beneath all his bravado, I think his intentions were good. If that makes me a total moron, so be it. I can't wait for the movie!

SeaBassTian

]]> <![CDATA[The Five Most Obnoxious Grave-Dances By Spitzer Critics]]> Meh, what's a little schadenfreude between friends. Or, put another way, little Eliot was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he went to Princeton and Harvard, his pops was rich. All he had to do was keep breathing to get a shot at being the first Jewish president -- and he messed it up. By paying for sex. Failure from where he began takes effort. And then, in a touch that even Spielberg or Will Smith wouldn't dare, he's succeeded by a blind, black guy. There is no amount of pillory or ridicule that would suffice. I say laugh at him. But keep his kids and wife out of it. And make sure to leave the daughters strictly alone.

TedSez

]]> <![CDATA[The Five Most Obnoxious Grave-Dances By Spitzer Critics]]> being so completely old enough "to make the kinds of moral and ethical compromises her long-suffering mother, Silda, evidently has chosen," I still wonder, however, whether there's also an age by which people learn to distinguish "affect" and "effect."

Dershowitz makes Nancy Grace seem blase about justice...

He was SUCH an asshole, and it all ended SO badly. You do understand that we need that kind of cautionary tale to keep people in line, right? And also to support the Biblical assertion that men who are tremendous assholes are probably doing something wrong, sexually.

But Pareene, this is a great post. You're really in your metier with this Spitzer stuff.

Helman

]]> <![CDATA[The Five Most Obnoxious Grave-Dances By Spitzer Critics]]> But some people, people who never liked that Spitzer character, are so thrilled about this turn of events that they've become utterly insufferable.

Probably more correct to say they've used Spitzer's downfall to continue a mad parade of insufferability that knows no beginning, and will know no end. Otherwise-- bravo, Pareene.
