In all seriousness…Spitzer has to go
Posted by Josh Friedlander | 5 Comments
The NYTimes really amazes me sometimes. Are they so pusillanimous that they can’t simply call for the resignation of our disgraced governor?
It’s not “hard to see,” it’s impossible to see! The man allegedly (and not for the first time) transported a prostitute over state lines to have sex with him for money. He’s our governor and he committed a federal crime! And a state crime!
What the hell else do you need to call for someone’s resignation? While it’s also entirely poetic that he’s a galactic-class hypocrite and bully who is getting what he deserves by being outed so publicly, it is not necessary to dwell on the moral angle. It’s simply enough to note that the state’s chief executive is being accused of criminal behavior. He’s not even denying it!
He has to go. Immediately.

As with Anna Karina, we prefer to remember the U.S.A as she was in the 1960s.

Maybe Spitzer wants to review the Women of FleshDirect for us.

Um, can we take a minute to cite Marion Barry here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Barry)
At least Spitzer wasn’t taking hits from a crack pipe while this was going down…

Hmm… can this be part of his defense?

It’s a moot point now, but I don’t think he “had” to go unless they determine some law was violated. Did they? Anyway, if he wasn’t Mr. Kleen the Crime Fightin’ Machine, and pretty much hated by every state politician in NY, I think he could have pulled some kind of Jimmy Swaggart-esque tearful apology and crossed his fingers until the next election.
