3. Watch out James, the CT police will have you in shackles!
You are NOT allowed to think that way! Bad pundit.

7. Spitzer and Carville are both huge friends of the Clintons
it was to the point that CNN kept Carville and Begala off the air for a few weeks around Super Tuesday

9. Why are they back on?
They still have an agenda which has nothing to do with news.

15. Spitzer is not that close to Clintons. He was leaned on hard to endorse her early.

18. Clinton is the N.Y.S. Senator.
Of course the governor of N.Y.S. has to endorse HC, even if they weren't friendly.

12. This has more to do with Spitzer's testimony to Congress last month
This is all political to take his voice OUT! Please watch his testimony...

14. Thank you for your concern.
People are undistinguishable replaceable cogs.

16. Have you noticed the pattern? No, I don't mean the hypocrisy
You are a rep... we will make it go away, your career might be over, temporarily, perhaps get in trouble wih the wife

You are a dem, we will throw the book at you

Can you tell me why?

By the way, in case you are wondering this is how politized Justice systems look like, as in authoritarian societies

Now go on, with your outrage... but please point to the REPUBLICANS serving hard time.

Then point to the Dems

I hope you can see the pattern... by the way kiddies this is what fascism looks like when the DOJ is used to go after your political enemies effectively go after them

And no, not condoning law breaking, though when it comes to sex that is consensual I don't care... but I am pointing to a pattern here

19. Someone Had Spitzer's Number...Literally
Scandals like these don't just happen...someone tipped off the FBI and had some intimate details that definitely was to target Spitzer. Now how was that information gathered? I would think, unless proven otherwise, the FBI got a court-ordered wiretap based on some kind of physical evidence. The fact they caught him with such specifics speaks to how narrow this thing was.

Political enemies don't condone personal irresponsibility and stupidity. There's at least one more shoe to drop here...which could lead to an indictment and surely will spell out the case here, including what prompted the investigation. This has more in common with a Vitter than a Craig...and if "Client #9" has broken laws there's no excuses, he's blown his public trust.
