#1 Put this guy on "the list".
Right away, Mr. Cheney...

#2 So this was a sting 10 years in the making, before Bush even took office?

Wow, Rove IS the dark lord!

#4 It's pretty clear that Spitzer's father was a hard case, controlling and toxic to a kid who could never live up to his standards. Dinner times were briefings and heaven help the kid who wasn't prepared for the old man's grilling on their topic. Guy's worth half a billion but keeps his hands on it all: Eliot lives in an apartment in Manhattan that Dad continues to own, got his campaigns funded by Dad's money - but never inherited any to control himself and didn't even try to compete in that market.

That's why Spitzer went after old guys running companies, often unfairly, as AG.

The rage has been there all his life. I feel sorry for him and understand in a theoretical way why his wife would support him. (At a practical level if he were my husband, well .....)

But understanding how he got warped isn't the same as thinking he is fit to hold public power.

Spitzer got caught because he was laundering (excuse me, 'structuring') money movements through accounts to hid his whore habit. And that sort of money movement is something the Feds have been tracking very carefully since 9/11.

#5 Not to mention that apparently some of those accounts were those of the great state of New York, rather than private ones.

#6 Only Rove could have fostered in Spitzer the urge to spend tens of thousands of dollars and still not get the unsafe sex he was trying to pay for.

Diabolical.

#7 So either:-

#1 He's trying or having "bareback" sex with hookers while also having sex with his wife as thus risking her health.

OR

#2 He has a completely sex free marriage that's solely for political reasons.

Pretty messed up either way.

#8 #2 He has a completely sex free marriage that's solely for political reasons.

That seemed to be high sport among the European ~~elite~~ nobility not too long ago. Since the Euroenclaves seem to wax nostalgically about the 'good old days' is it such a surprise?

#10 She better look a lot like me.

#11 Spitzer is probably wondering why the Obama racist preacher story couldn't have broken a couple of days earlier.
