"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist" so says the line from The Usual Suspects. Well the devil aint got nuttin on Eliot Spitzer who has actually convinced the taxpayers of New York that hes a good guy and that he is on their side. Hes a crook. Correction. Hes worse than a crook. Hes a snake oil salesman giving people false hope all the while its shady business as usual for ES as he lines his pockets as well as those of his crony lawyer pals who in turn stuff his campaign coffers. The guys a rat plain and simple and I hope he enjoys all the cheese now because eventually all rats get greedy and get their neck snapped taking the bait one too many times.
The Passion of Eliot Spitzer
Is he telling the truth as he tries to "take people out"?

New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer appeared on Comedy Central late last year, admitting to host Stephen Colbert that as a kid he was the "enforcer" on the soccer team, the guy who "took people out." "You play hard, you play rough, and hopefully you don't get caught," he said. The AG was trying for a laugh, but it may have been one of the more revealing insights into his career.

and giuliani didn't pull any of the same types of stunts when he was in the justice department or, even, when he was mayor? what makes spitzer any different than your average new york pol?
Well for one thing Giuliani actually prosecuted wrongdoers, or in other words... he did his job. Rudy used RICO to cripple the mob. Spitzer is using RICO to enrich his friends and his campaign. I trust Vinny from Mulberry more than Eliot. The guys a scumbag and a con man shakedown artist.
yes, that was very good for his image ... crimefighter extraordinaire. but if you think giuliani hasn't been a shakedown artist in his own right you are, ah, living in another world.
Please cite examples or pipe down. Last time I checked Fulton Fish market didnt make any campaign donations to Rudy...can the same be said for the victims of Spitzers shakedown?
donkey, be real. i would cite examples. many, many examples. however, the judge in the grand jury investigation imposed a gag order. there's nothing i can do about that. i should have kept my mouth shut in the first place.
damn blog.
Well the burden of proof was on you. I provided my opinion of Elito Spitzer and backed it up with facts. Your defense was to attack Rudy with baseless allegations.
The fact remains, Spitzer doesnt prosecute ANYONE...he shakes them down, threatens to go public, then he goes public with wild allegations, never goes to trial, outsources legal work to campaign donors who get upwards of 30% of eventual settlement, they kick back to his campaign. Nice racket hes got there, and the sad thing is because of the celebrity obsessed culture we live in he'll probaly get elected just because of face time on the tv.
As B. Real would say...
They get mad
When they come to raid my pad
And I'm out in the nine deuce Cad
we're off to see the wizard ...
"burdens of proof?" and "pipe down?" how could i resist? off to see the wizard, my arse! i claim no great insight on your NYC politicians, but will say this: 'tis not the cough that carries ye off but the coffin they carry ye off in..
Illegitimi in omnes partes sunt.
Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy was he?
Once I saw a man atop my stair who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. I wish to God he's go away.
Since both of these poems as well as my esteemed brother's anectdotal reference to "the coffin they carry ye off in" are anonymous and wholly inconsequential to this post in general, I claim full responsibility for them.

seems like craic_head is everybody's brother.
my mother used to tell me the fuzzy wuzzy poem all the time. in fact, it sent me into paroxysms of laughter. not quite paroxysms any more ... but damn close to it.
my favorite though was the eensie weensie spider poem. you know, the guy who went up the water spout.
I noticed that, its very hard to tell who is a brother genetically, a "brutha", who has hair, and who is hispanic.
But Warlike is still my favorite regardless of the variable option baskets.
We are all God's creatures here at The Aurora and accordingly all brothas and sistas. Peace on Earth.
well, regarding hair, i gather that the donkey has some (or so he claims); the rhino doesn't; the fly probably has something sprouting from his head but i'm sure it's minimal; i bet warlock has dreads.
rhino is hispanic? mexican? donkey wears tartans so he's scottish and gay; fly is jesuit like john mclaughlin, so, he's irish or scottish and wears tartans too but he's not gay; warlike, i just haven't a clue, all i know is that he lives in canarsie.
i love these guessing games.
oh, and donsky is jewish. that i know. russian heritage perhaps?
Im not Scottish.
somebody told me a fargin' lie then.
