hiring a prostitute ranks way, way, way, way, way above starting an illegal war and killing tens of thousands of children and thousands of our own young adults while driving the country 3 trillion dollars in debt.
Cool.
Glad we have that settled.
One prostitute, get impeached.
Start a financially disastrous genocide and commit treason and war crimes, everything's cool.

It's a state legislature actually doing it's job. Good for them, they should start impeachment hearings...that's what legislatures are supposed to do.
Just because it's our guy who got busted this time doesn't mean he should get a free pass.

17. I agree. It's the US Senate's job to investigate Craig |
|
Just like it's the NY legislature's job to investigate Spitzer.
Your beef isn't with the NY GOP, it's with our sorry-ass Senate "leadership".

23. Probably not - perhaps you could ask them. |
|
Some might have children there.
Probably not, though.
Anyway, back to the actual topic at hand, after this little tangent...

2. NY GOP will look like imbeciles for considering a porn sting worse than legalizing waterboarding. |
|
And 935 lies into an invasion for oil, thousands of US and Iraqis dead, no-bid contracts for friends companies that you still own stock in, illegal wiretapping since before 9/11, DSM, Valerie Plame, etc.
We know how much they hate sex and love war. To death.

9. Isn't it the job of the State legislature to investigate criminal allegations against the governor? |
|
Why on earth would we chastise a legislature for actually doing what the fuck it's supposed to do? Would that the US Congress take a hint from the NY statehouse.

it's the only hope keeping me going. The Boomers seem to have it all screwed up and my generation X seems to be content to let it happen. Gotta hope for a better future.

There is an excellent thread with an explanation of the possibilities...and the motives.. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2988882No denying Spitzer acted like a moron..but it sure looks like they were laying in wait for him....

24. Ava, the simple truth here now is that Spitzer is now a GOP talking point. He's a disgrace |
|
and should be removed so that he can't further damage the party. He fucked himself; now he needs to go away and not make the Dems pay for it anymore.

I think he should quit. But the hypocrisy of the GOP with Larry Craig and Mr. Vitter is nauseating.
