I'm just glad Spitzer is a Democrat. Whew!

Not only was Spitzer the guy who wanted to give illegal aliens NYS drivers licenses, he was also pushing a Bill he called "The Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act (RHPPA)," which sought to make a positive "right" to abortion in New York law.

Critics have pointed out that it could be interpreted as forcing all doctors to perform abortions, with no conscience exemption, or face the loss of their medical licenses.

It could also be used to force Catholic hospitals to offer abortions, a move that would've resulted in the Catholic Church having to shutter its hospital doors in that State.

When he first got to Albany as Governor last year (January 2007), he arrogantly proclaimed "I'm a f*cking steamroller and I'll roll over anyone who gets in my way."

Looks like the steamroller rolled off a cliff this time.

"I'm a fvcking steamroller and I'll roll over anyone who gets in my way." How Stalin of him.

It's even worse than that Seane-Anna. Eliot Spitzer "hero of the downtrodden" and "scurge of Wall Street" was himself the scion of a billionaire!

Another "Edwardsian, privileged rich prick" who sought to sacrifice other wealthy people (in fact, people who ACTUALLY PRODUCED things for THEIR wealth) on the public alter for his own political gain.

Wealth isn't the problem.

Most wealth (with the exceptions of those, like John Edwards, who make money putting OBGYNs out of practice on junk science) is created by productive (VERY productive) activities.

Even more ironic, is the fact that Spitzer often used the threat of "leaking sexual indiscretions" (even unproven ones and ones he had no evidence of....I guess they call those "bogus ones") to get targets like Mr Grasso, of the NYSE and Mr. Langone, of Goldman Sachs to capitulate to large fines, and/or getting those companies to put his cronies on their boards.

Eliot Spitzer is what is commonly referred to as "a scumbag."

And that's the most charitable way to put what he really is.

Is he a Democrat? Funny because on the Old Media that fact rarely comes up at 'tall! Funny that huh?

When a Republican gets in trouble thats his First Name. Don't you just love the Media's selective standards? They never get tired of being unfair.

Thanks for the warning. I will be on a lookout for that kind of legislation (forcing every doctor to perform abortions) in Connecticut.

I am sure the Abortion Cheerleaders like State Rep. Denise Merrill will get to that soon enough.

Well, McCommas in NYS it was called "The Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act," and only a thorough read made it clear that there was no "conscience exemption" for physicians or hospitals.

Spitzer was a spoiled rich brat who made a lot of enemies the old fashioned way - he EARNED them.

Now Wall Street's rejoicing over his demise and they say the worst is yet to come...mis-use of State funds, involving State Troopers in illicit actions and his predilection for "dangerous sexual activities" (whatever that means).

The Justice Dept almost HAS to make an example of this kind of low life.
