Going After Spitzer
Edited on Sun Mar-16-08 09:17 AM by EV_Ares
All I can say it is quite obvious regardless of his missing around with prostitutes that Bush, Investigators, Inc. goes after Spitzer after he starts going after the big banks and their lending practices and you still have a republican senator serving in office that hired prostitutes in LA to put diapers on him. Wouldn't you think they would want to investigate how he paid for them? You also still have the republican senator serving in office that has the wide stance.

Elliot was doing a great service for the people going after the bad guys which is why Wall Street cheered when he got caught. I hope he is able to come back from all this.

Bush and Spitzer: Compare and Contrast
Of Laws and Men
By RALPH NADER

The Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, has resigned for being a longtime customer of a high-priced prostitution ring.

The President of the United States, George W. Bush, remains, disgracing his office for longtime repeated violations of the Constitution, federal laws and international treaties to which the U.S. is a solemn signatory.

In his forthright resignation statement, Eliot Spitzer-the prominent corporate crime buster-asserted that "Over the course of my public life, I have insisted, I believe correctly, that people, regardless of their position or power, take responsibility for their conduct. I can and will ask no less of myself."

In a recent speech to a partisan Republican fund-raising audience, George W. Bush fictionalized his Iraq war exploits and other related actions, and said that next January he will leave office "with his head held high."

1. Illicit sex is only illegal when Democrats are caught
Republicans get a free pass.

2. Ohio's puke Governor Taft plead guilty to an ethics charge and he did not resign
The charge was that he accepted gifts from people doing business with the state of Ohio. This means that he accepted gifts as bribes to spend taxpayer money.

3. Me too! In a way they are like herpes, they just keep coming back.
So that's the reason Wall Street was happy? I'm hoping for some investigative reporter to bust this story wide open.
