I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

The Bush administration THWARTED investigation of fraudulent business practices.

Now Bush's lapdaogs (you know who you are) and associated sockpuppets are trying to pin the blame on two out-of-power Dems. SHEESH!

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

America loves a winner!

Yeah, because boinking a 20 something yr old hooker ( or intern ) is something everyone does anyways.

Who cares if the top law enforcement official in these state / country is doing it. As long as us LITTLE people know it's wrong and never do it ourselves.

Riiiight.

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people ARE.

If everyone doing it in Washington lost their jobs, we'd all be better off. Unfortunately, only the ones who piss off the powers-that-be are subject to such scrutiny. Especially when they're right.

At least Spitzer was doin it with someone over the age of majority, which is better than most of Congress.

They had him any time they wanted him though, more than half the high end hookers on the east coast are selling info to someones intel people anyways, so what happened to Spitzer didn't have a damn thing to do with his following practices just about everyone in politics does.

It had everything to do with the boats he was rocking by investigating stuff that would upset the powers that be.

Cause and effect, folks.

with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up

and they're going to hear from me.

I'm not sure if you intentionally overlooked the fact that it's Democrats that are expected to commit these crimes - adultery, prostitution, perjurY - and just the Republicans who are expected to obey the law. Was this your "little people" versus "above the law" allusion?
Still funny how all the liberals keep trying to claim lifelong Democrat Spitzer was a Republican.
