Good for you, but it is illegal & until it's deemed otherwise, it's breaking the law by the states top LE enforcer, if this is true. According to CNN/Politico, one of Spitzers aides told the NTY about it & voila!

I have always said that members of the government on the most part are criminals in one form or another. The dirtier they are the higher they climb. This way votes can be had by a "slip of the tongue". Now I know that sounds nuts and I agree that it is, but I will stand by my remarks.

They get to where they believe they are above the law, & party makes no difference, corruption on all sides. Spitzer has been known as "self righteous" & a tough law enforcer. Andrew Cuomo was in on the federal investigation. It seems, according to CNN, that Spitzer was a mamber of a club, I think they said "The Emperors Club", & SPitzer was known as "number 9". Spitzer was to have had a news conference about 30 minutes ago, they're still waiting.

Somebody said that this is as shocking as the revelation about Bill & Monica. Lets hope that Spitzer handles it better than Bill did, & resign, if true.

Well I think if it is true then he can have the same punishment the your or I would get, jail time.

I will turn on the news, I am wondering if the media will cover it for one. And I wonder who he pissed off.

CNN is running a piece now, they called him a Mr. Clean. Let the spin doctors do their thing, I need a laugh.
