Bully Spitzer gets comeuppance

[DesertFox]

A disgraced Gov. Spitzer has been publicly and privately described for more than a year by New York's top political figures as a ruthless, sanctimonious, amoral man whose righteous public persona was regularly contradicted by the realities of how he conducted his political life.

Talk about confirmation!

Whether it was Spitzer's involvement in the Dirty Tricks and Internal Revenue scandals that targeted Senate Republican Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, his threats against Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and other Assembly Democrats, his undermining through rumor and innuendo of Lt. Gov. David Paterson, or his seemingly paranoid hostilities to Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, Spitzer's style struck many as so far out of line with his public claims of righteousness that many started using the jargon of abnormal psychology to describe him.

When Spitzer described himself as a "f- - -ing steamroller" to Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco after less than a month in office, Tedisco - a muscular, one-time, star college athlete - confided to an associate, "This guy scares me."

"There's something wrong with Spitzer, something wrong in his head"

I read this article the other day... fantastic.

Well, Spitzer was a prosecutor and if he's as tough as he's portrayed then he was probably a damned good one! Still, lawyers like that can often get away with it since the law is often on their side and the opposition can do little about it. Nonetheless, the "steamroller" missed a spot and he's been shut down. It's his own fault and he deserves all consequences he will receive.

The guy is a sociopathic megalomaniac feared and hated by most.

He's Hillary's soul mate.

[DesertFox]

He looks it. He also has that licentious look about him.

Quite the contrary, much of what he did was arguably illegal.

I wonder if the Spit usd that phrase all over town to everyone...


His housekeeper: 'I'm a FRUCKING STEAMROLLER and if you don't put a new toilet paper roll on the dispenser, I'm gonna ROLL ALL OVER YOU!'

The valet: 'Where's my car? Where is it? What's taking so long? IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT HARD TO FIND! ITS A FRUCKING STEAMROLLER dammit!'

Jehovah Witnesses: *knock, knock* 'Hello, sir, would you like to hear about the Kingdom of Jehovah?'

'KNOCK KNOCK on YOU! HAVEN'T YOU HEARD? I'm a FRUCKING STEAMROLLER BYOTCHES and I'm a gonna roll this bad boy right up your alley and around back down your street and then park it RIGHT NEXT to your Kingdom Hall!'

Spitzer, when he was Attorney General of NY State, should have been tarred and feathered, then run out of town on a rail for what he did to Dick Grasso.

The rotten bastard should have never been elected Governor.

He should have never been allowed to run for Governor.

Since I'm not real legal smart, I'll take that thought to heart.
