Guest Guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 If I understand this correctly, the Feds aren’t after him for “dropping trou”, but for currency violations. He was playing games to avoid reporting the “Modeling fees” he was paying. (I may be mis-remembering this) If that is the case, my guess is there won’t be any kind of deal. The Feds don’t care who he was playing footsy with but when it comes to cash… Eliot, meet your new friend, Rocco. I also saw how the market went through the roof yesterday. My father is a broker and he told me the Fed had dumped cash into the system. I told him that it was the fall of Spitzer that was causing this. That noise you heard on Wall Street was the sound of brokers, investment bankers and financial advisors crying out one word: YES! I’m waiting for the ticker tape parade for the “Fallen Women” who helped to bring this thug down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I really hope he lacks the common sense to resign. I want to see him twist and twist, with all these stories coming out, him being the butt of late night comedy shows, ever new stories like this rolling out about him as he fights sleazy vice charges in court. I hope he clings to power, desperate to be Hillary's superdelegate, and his ego commanding him to imagine he can weather it out. That should give the GOP some victory in November. Hang on, chump.

Guest Guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Reports indicate that Spitzer’s wife Silda is urging him not to resign, to fight back and stay in the governor’s mansion. Anyone see some striking resemblances to Madame Hillary and how the Clintons handled their bimbo eruptions? What is it about these political marriages between Ivy League law school liberals?

It doesn't say much that you may need the help of Spitzgate to help you win a Presidential election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 It doesn't say much that you may need the help of Spitzgate to help you win a Presidential election. It doesn't say much that the Dems would support Spitzer in order to hang onto a governorship and possibly win a presidential election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest concerned Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 1 hour and 35 minutes He's to announce in about 1 hr. his resignation. His wife in my opinion does not need him, she's a nice looking lady, smart and she needs to concern herself with her daughters. She'll no doubt divorce him in the near future. He obviously did not respect her or their marriage, nor his daughters. They'll do just fine without him. He can sink by himself, he didn't ask them before he got involved in this messy deal or think about them. So long Spitzer, won't miss your arrogance and self indulgence.

Guest Guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 resignation at 11:30 a.m ALBANY, N.Y. - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has decided to resign, completing a stunning fall from power after he was nationally disgraced by links to a high-priced prostitution ring, a top state official said Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT Spitzer was scheduled to announce his resignation at 11:30 a.m., according to a second top Spitzer staffer. The officials spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the announcement had not yet been made. Spitzer would be replaced by Lt. Gov. David Paterson, who will become New York's first black governor. The scandal erupted Monday when allegations surfaced that Spitzer, a 48-year-old married man with three teenage daughters, spent thousands of dollars on a call girl named Kristen at a swanky Washington hotel on the night before Valentine's Day. "I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and violates my — or any — sense of right and wrong," the governor said at a news conference with his wife, Silda, at his side. "I apologize to the public, whom I promised better." Calls for his resignation came immediately. Republicans began talking impeachment if he didn't step aside. Meanwhile, Spitzer stayed holed up in his Manhattan apartment, where he was reportedly weighing his options, including waiting to use resignation as a bargaining chip with federal prosecutors to avoid indictment. The case involving Spitzer started when banks noticed frequent cash transfers from several accounts and filed suspicious activity reports with the Internal Revenue Service, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The accounts were traced back to Spitzer, leading public corruption investigators to open an inquiry. A law enforcement official said Tuesday that Spitzer had spent tens of thousands of dollars with the call-girl service Emperors Club VIP. Another official said the amount could be as high as $80,000. Still another law enforcement official said investigators found that during the tryst with Kristen, Spitzer used two rooms at Washington's Mayflower Hotel — one for himself, the other for the prostitute. Sometime around 10 p.m., Spitzer sneaked away from his security detail and made his way to her room, the official said. According to an affidavit, a federal judge approved wiretaps on the escort service's telephone in January and February. FBI agents in Washington had the Mayflower under surveillance when Spitzer was in town, a senior law enforcement official said. The officials spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case. Spitzer, a first-term Democrat, built his political reputation on rooting out government corruption, and made a name for himself as attorney general as crusader against shady practices and overly generous compensation. He also cracked down on prostitution. He was known as the "Sheriff of Wall Street." Time magazine named him "Crusader of the Year," and the tabloids proclaimed him "Eliot Ness." The square-jawed graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law was sometimes mentioned as a potential candidate for president. He rode into the governor's office with a historic margin of victory on Jan. 1, 2007, vowing to stamp out corruption in New York government in the same way that he took on Wall Street executives with a vengeance while state attorney general. His term as governor has been fraught with problems, including an unpopular plan to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and a plot by his aides to smear his main Republican nemesis. The prostitution scandal, some said, was too much to overcome. Freshman Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand became the first Democratic member of New York's congressional delegation to mention resignation on Tuesday. "This is very grave and sad news," she said. "If these serious allegations are true, the governor will have no choice but to resign." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Goodbye you two-faced hypocritical F##K! It's simply New York politics as usual. That sob cares more about pretty, young, NYC models than the people of NY. You know, the welfare bums, the illegal immigrants, all the riff raff stealing from the government. How dare he.
