Spitz or Swallows…
BUSTED!
Silly moralist – tricks are for kids! Now how does the man who busted a prostitution ring, of bargain hookers, end up with a $5,500/night call girl in Washington? Oh, yah, politician…hmmm…
Now if he told his kids or wife they had to cut back or couldn’t get that new bicycle, dress or Playstation, he’s doubly screwed. “Daddy told me I couldn’t have a new laptop, cause he spends all his money on hookers”. Wow, I predict years of therapy ahead for that family, especially if he was as hard core a moralist at home as he was in office. And his wife – I’m sure she livid, furious about many aspects of this situation. I feel most for her – he wasn’t even smart and respectful enough to be discreet – I mean, if you think, in this day and age, that you aren’t being watched, recorded, tapped and tracked, especially as a Democrat in a Republican ruled country, you are an idiot. But I do hope they throw the Mann Act at him – if its good enough to bust Jack Johnson sending a train ticket to his WIFE, its mos def good enough for Spitzer.
Go D!
What I am excited about is who will take Spitzer’s place – David Paterson, the Lt. Governor. This is his bio:
David A. Paterson was elected New York’s lieutenant governor on November 7, 2006.
Elected to represent Harlem in the New York State Senate in 1985, David Paterson has demanded and achieved change at every level, not simply by what he stands for but by who he is.
In 2002, David Paterson was elected minority leader of the New York State Senate, the first non-white legislative leader in New York’s history. In 2004 in Boston, he became the first visually impaired person to address a Democratic National Convention. And 2006 saw Mr. Paterson make history again by being elected New York’s first African-American lieutenant governor.
As New York State Senate minority leader, David Paterson led the charge on several crucial issues for New York’s future, proposing legislation for a $1 billion voter-approved stem cell research initiative, demanding a statewide alternative energy strategy, insisting on strong action to fight against domestic violence, and serving as the primary champion for minority- and women-owned businesses in New York. As a result, Governor Spitzer asked Mr. Paterson to continue to lead New York State on these issues as lieutenant governor.
Lt. Governor Paterson, who is legally blind, is also nationally recognized as a leading advocate for the visually and physically impaired. A graduate of Columbia University and Hofstra Law School, Mr. Paterson also currently serves as an adjunct professor at Columbia’s School for International and Public Affairs. David Paterson lives in Harlem with his wife, Michelle, and their two children, Ashley and Alex, and he is the son of Basil Paterson, the first non-white secretary of state of New York and the first African-American vice-chair of the national Democratic Party.

Oh yah, I really think Paterson is a PERFECT replacement for Spitzer. He’s got the track record, the passion and he’s overcome much, with his blindness hardly slowing him down. He’s a fighter, a leader and gets shit done.
Peace,
