Wow!.

Iam not surprised by your morality standards.

What am outraged is that this was conveniently absent when Bush ran for a second time even when it was well known he had broken many, many laws.

How come you kept your mouth shut like a vise when Bush ran for a second time. Where was your moral outrage then?

Where was your outrage when it was PROVEN Bush and Cheney had broken many laws?

Spitzer didn't break laws. If you think he did, why then did the Feds refuse to charge him?

I understand you Republican supporters of the need to strike down all brave Democrats. After all Newt Gingrich confessed he cheated on his wife when he actively impeaching Clinton. Where was your outrage then?

Who is the hypocrite here?

Yeah, the same example Bush & Cheney set for the WHOLE America:

Forget about consequences and Rule of Law.

The Law is for morons: Be a president and break the law, anyday, anytime.

Oh, and i forgot: Bush condoned underage-drinking by refusing to have his daughters convicted for underage-drinking. So his message to children is far worse than what Spitzer gave.

Huh?

Was that a rant against USA or against Bush?

I don't know where you are from, but if it weren't for US, you would still be wallowing in the mud known as the Colonial Empire of Great Britain, slaving for its factories. Better yet you would be a German-speaking nazi in EU, or a commie under Stalin's Great Regime.

Were it not for US, you would not be microwaving your TV Dinner to eat while you type your shit.

Were it not for US, you would NOT have the internet to make you the anonymous mongrel you are.

Were it not for US, you would not enjoy the freedom to rant and spew forth your hatred against USA and Bush without being hauled off to work as a slave in the many factories owned by a former communist nation or work yourself to death in Siberia.

Were it for not US, you would not enjoy the convenience of ATMs to withdraw your sorry salary or a Credit Card to purchase your latest Plasma TV.

Were it not for US, you would not be able to enjoy the many many Hollywood movies you watch and listen to the music on your iPod.

Were it not for US, your miserable life would be spent foraging for food in Somalia or better yet Congo.

Thank your sorry self for not being hauled off to Gitmo.

....because he wants to let sleeping dogs lie?

I think it is much more than that.

Unfortunately all Democrats are cowards. So i can't blame him, since he too is a Democrat.

Double Standards???

Let's talk about the many many Lafaves' and Mary Kates' who escape with a slap on wrist after sleeping with their students.

Why don't you clamor for EQUAL punishment for them? Why not clamor that Lafave also be sentenced to 18 years in Prison?

So?

Who has not been self-obsessed at one time or another?

Did you forget your teen years or are you a nun/priest?

What Eliot did in his private life is none of my concern: for all i care he may wear pink lacies or rant about fast-paced life today.

I care a hoot about it.

Did he or did he not perform his job, one which he signed for and took oath. That is what counts.

Eliot may not have prevented the banking meltdown, but he would have nailed every single criminal in Wall Street in two weeks time. You would be reading in newspapers daily about how this executive was sent to State Prison for grand theft or fraud.

Who are we judge his private life? Were we all saints? Plus if we want to talk about Hypocrisy we need to start with News Gingrich: the wonderful human being who was cheating on his wife at the same time he was impeaching Clinton...

Atleast Eliot paid for his sins. Newt is still out there ranting like a mad man. Someone should sue him breaking the Contract With America and send him to jail.

I thought the North East was NOT Texas, and that CT was educated and well-read.

So why exactly did CT re-elect Lieberman?

I don't deny that Spitzer's personal life was ugly.

What am questioning is how do we use that as a benchmark to measure his official performance?

Did he screw up officially? Were his official duties impeded in ANY way by his dalliances?

Most important of all, did he do in "company's" time?

NO. and NO.

As a beer buddy i love Bush. Officially i don't like his performance. Inverse is with Spitzer. Personally i would not go near 10 feet of him. officially he has my vote anyday.

There's a separation between personal and official.

Yes, he did prosecute people for the very crime he did. That IS Hypocrisy.

So did Newt Gingrich.

Rumsfeld lied to Senate and Congress about not breaking laws. Cheney lied all these days to American people about not breaking laws. Those are official lies.

Where's the rant?
