Just another hypocrite meeting his end. Power tends to corrupt.The wall street sheriff got caught it seems. It was sad to see that he drug his wife on stage;I really felt sorry for her and he has three kids.

To that end, Senator Clinton from New York--like other New York elected officials--have a moral and ethical responsibility to publically disclaim any knowledge of this criminal enterprise. Staying hush-hush about it because it's a matter of consenting adults, blah, blah is an argument that can be made if the Governor was having an affair or frequenting strip clubs on his own time. But in the case of organized crime, other high ranking New York officials can't treat this as a "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" issue.

Who knew anything, and when did they know it?
where do you stand on OBAMA KNOWING about Rezko
and the investigation that was ongoing
and Obama a seated senator, and knew better, but bought land from him anyway
surely you are outraged about that!!
or are you just liking to sling mud on Hillary for this guy that everyone that has been talked to that knew him well are shocked.

Top 10 Democrat Sex Scandals in Congress

Both parties of guilty of this type of unacceptable behavior. So, don't try to suggest that the Reps have a corner on the market.

You're the one making the definative statement. I was only questioning how you could come to such a conclusion.

The MSM doesn't seem to want to.

e.g.: Governor apologizes after prostitution link - Politics - MSNBC.com

N.Y. Times: New York governor linked to prostitution - CNN.com (http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/10/spitzer.ap/index.html - broken link)
Of course he is.. but dont worry..its only about sex...

Yea, he's toast ... take your last shred of dignity and go away.

1. Grasping at straws was about your remark about Hillary "joining in" etc. and yes, I do believe you are grasping at straws.
2. Never said the Republicans have a corner on the market, did I?
