Come on now...

It's a joke that Vitter remains in office to this day, it will be a joke if Spitzer is in office at the end of the day.

And yes, Glenn, since Mark Foley might have led to a Democratic House (and I'm lumping sex offenses together), I do think these crimes get some attention when they're on the Right side, too.

I don't remotely care he hired a prostitute. I think he overpaid and went to far too much trouble. But, if he's going to be on the warpath against that industry in one press conference and then crying with his wife in another, I'm sorry, but he's gotta go.

Considering they weren't even giving Client #9 credit, who knows who else this agency serviced. So, there might be more names down the pike.

He's the former attorney general, he ran on ethics and law and order, and he's alleged to have finagled a variety of sketchy wire transfers so he could pay hookers with untraceable cash. No, Glenn, that does not qualify to remain Governor.

And, I'm absolutely a left-winger...if he was a Republican I'd be much fiercer in my outrage...but I'm not a total hypocrite.

Absolutely appalling

I'm not one to get too strident about things like this, and I was willing to give "Joe" the benefit of the doubt.

However, as a freelancer who has embedded twice with US soldiers in Iraq, and as an Army veteran myself, I have to say these are some of the most despicable comments I've seen in awhile.

His blather about World War II obviously overlooks Ernie Pyle, among one of many.

He has the right to his opinion, and even though it's completely Un-American, that's his business. Just as it's my business to say how absurd it is, and to hope he just keeps right on talking.

I am glad that Alex Koppelman wrote this up. It's absolutely vital that the most vile, anti-free press opinions of this bizarre person be publicized as best they can.

By deservedly destroying this person's credibility, it also harms the credibility of this 'Pajamas Media' organization that would actually send him to do 'reporting.' So the more notice he gets, the better.

This man, "Joe," needs to have his own words make him look absolutely as foolish and reprehensible as possible, at every opportunity. And anyone who employs him for their own purposes needs to look equally ridiculous.
