Elliot Spitzer (CNN) is on FIRE Tonight
Edited on Tue Mar-01-11 08:10 PM by FreakinDJ
How can you justify cutting the capitol Gains Tax for the Wealthy while you cut a $100 Millions from education. I mean isn't that taking away from children and giving to the Wealthy

Email CNN and tell them to give Spitzer his own 2 hr show

Shit Elliot only gets better the more they try to stick it to him

2. I think the politicians who get their winkies wet outside of marriage...
...may be the ticket for running our country...
:shrug: Just saying.

5. Not really
Whether or not one commits adultery is irrelevant to how well one can govern and lead.

7. I'm not so sure about that. It does indicate character, ethics, honesty, and loyalty.
Are those traits necessary to be a good leader? I'm not sure. Maybe. Maybe not.

14. Depends on the amount of Hypocrisy
and I believe he was very vocal and condemning of other's extra-marital affairs.

So why should anyone trust him as he condemned others while having an extra-marital affair at the same time

Its a Trust thing

16. At one time I would have agreed but now I believe that sexual fidelity is but
one component of a person's ethical makeup. Sexuality nor sexual mores define a person. Furthermore so much can be faked. Wives will cover for husbands. Closeted gays marry for career advancement. Who can really tell whether anything is the real deal? Judging a politican by what he does publically seems to be a better measure. I don't think anyone but banksters would cast aspersions on Spitzter as a public servant.

9. His biggest problem was the criminal element. Not the adultery.
He took someone over state line for sex or something like that. That's a crime.

15. And being Atty Gen, it's not like he didn't know the law

17. Sex makes some people stupid. I think it was right to resign but I don't
think it should prevent him from running again for public office.

10. I switched to CNN when Lawrence started showing MORE Charlie Sheen crap again
and I'm so glad I did. I don't hate O'Donnell but he is often a tool for the establishment Dems.

And I'm so glad I changed - Spitzer is so smart, knows his shit, goes in depth. I think I've found a new 8pm politics show - I can't take O'Donnell anymore - although his first segment was good - mainly cause the Republican they had on was such a fucking ass with total contempt for the people of Wisconsin.
