Day 436 — It Looks Like It’s Over! or — Is The Steamroller Steamrolled?
Wow! What a shock. One of the most powerful men in the nation brought down by a scandal with a high priced whore. I thought someone was pulling my leg until I checked out Internet reports and saw it was true.
The picture on the front page of the D&C says it all. It looks like soon to be former first lady Silda was punched in the stomach and her family held hostage. How could your heart not go out to her and their three teenage girls, who are probably not that much younger than “Kristen” (the high priced prostitute)?
This really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone though. Proof of Spitzer being a bad person has been around before day one . During the campaign two years ago, there were all kinds of charges that he ran roughshod all over people he prosecuted when he was Attorney General, but who could feel sorry for millionaire Wall Street types?
He showed very early on he couldn’t play by the notoriously lax rules of Albany protocol. He outwardly tried to buy off as many people as possible with jobs so he could take over the Senate and get his way without having anyone stand up to him. He abused the power of his office in Troopergate. He constantly attacked political opponents, i.e. Mayor Bloomberg, as morally wrong because he did buy Spitzer non-sense that giving licenses to illegal aliens was going to lower our car insurance rates.
Yet despite this evidence, the Democratic establishment was falling all over themselves to get on this guy’s good side because it was apparent he was going to be Governor.
But now there is no way the Steamroller — or client #9 as he will now be know, can carry on. The D&C says that 58% of the public thinks he should resign — I’d like to know who the 32% who think he should stay are (my guess is that our friend Prudence Izbad falls into this category). They should forfeit their right to vote in my opinion.
We will watch today’s events with great interest and we will keep you posted. Who thought we would be longing for the old days when George Pataki was Governor?
