Spitzer, in his arrogance, will follow the William Jefferson
template. Maybe this time, the nation will not allow this slippery
slimeball, newly renamed William Jefferson Spitzer, to skate.

I just cannot stop giggling, I mean here we have this
sanctimonious, self righteous, self appointed arbiter of all that
is moral in paying a high priced call girl for illicit sex and then
has the chutzpah to have his poor wife at his side. What a classic
disgrace! In fact it's so classic I think I have an idea that would
help Eliot salvage his career and life. Since the Democrat party
always embraces their politicians who embrace the seamier side of
life (see Barney Frank, Gerry Stubbs, Bubba) why not Eliot on the
ticket with Obama instead of the other Clinton?

The unfolding chapter yesterday afternoon in the Saga of Eliot Spitzer made for interesting news watching. First he's implicated in a prostitution scandal, then he's about to resign, then he's already resigned then he gives a less-than-a-minute press conference and doesn't resign
It had a lot going for it as a story. A politician caught in his own contradictions, the excitement of the thousands of people Spitzer has alienated over the years, the little-resolved confusion of the early reporting.
I suppose it will all unfold some more today. I'm writing this
about six-fifteen AM I have no doubt anything I might add will be
obsolete before six-fifteen PM.

Is there any truth to the rumor that when Governor Spitzer was
really desperate at three o'clock in the morning that he dialed the
red phone to contact the person most experienced with dealing with
these types of crises?

PENNSYLVANIA POLKA
Re: Jeffrey Lord's Yo! Welcome
to Pennsylvania:
I wouldn't want to pick a fight with a fellow Conservative but I think the "polka" started in Pittston. Anyway the author has a good and humorous grasp of the Pennsylvania regions.
It might be good to look more closely at Fast Eddie's statement that white Pennsylvanians in the sticks (he implies) would not vote for a black guy.
Well we are talking about a Democrat primary and places racism in the party that stood in the way of the Civil Rights Act and took the Republicans to pass.
Let's also remember what Lincoln did and to what party he belonged.
So Fast Eddie is right and he is talking about some Democrats in his own party when historically they have always voted against the black guy.
You don't think all of Hillary's supporters really admire her --
or do they?
-- Tom Cretella
Jeffrey Lord replies:
While Pittston is not, to the best of my knowledge, home of the
Pennsylvania Polka, it is for sure that the first line, which I
thought all Pennsylvanian's were required by law to know, refers to
Scranton. Pittston, for those of you who are dying to know, is
located between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, is the reputed home of
the Bufalino crime family and also the birthplace of the late John
D. MacArthur, he of the deeply liberal foundation that bears his
name. Of that foundation you could in truth say, "It started in
Pittston a long time ago."
IT'S ROUGH OUT THERE
