Quote From: lcb81860In light of recent developments with the 'rise and fall' of our Governor, Eliot Spitzer, here are my descriptive words and thoughts on this situation...DISGRACEFUL! PATHETIC! IT-FIGURES! SYMPATHY! ONWARD & UPWARD!
Disgraceful, because here is a man who, over the course of the past 14 months in office, managed to P.O. A LOT of people; his arrogance and 'bully' mentality went after those who were commiting the EXACT crime of prostitution solicitation that he himself had been getting away with for the past decade, up until now.
Pathetic, because he paid LOTS of money over the years to hire women to sleep with him he ain't a 'looker' folks, so it's no wonder! Also pathetic with regards to the young s**** 'Kristen' (real name Ashley from NJ) with whom he had this latest tryst; for the past two days, her photos and some bio on her have been plastered all over TV news and tabloids...I hope she enjoys her 15-minutes of fame because that's ALL she's worth! As for her being responsible for 'bringing down the Governor of NY'; HE'S the one who did so to himself!
It-Figures, because of my comment above that he commited the very crimes he was pointing fingers at others for doing so and had the audacity to think he was 'above the law'; that he could get away with it! Karma is truly a B****, ain't she? BTW...I DIDN'T vote for him!! Honestly, I felt more shocked and saddened when the scandal involving Rudy Giuliani and his then 'lover' Judy (now wife) were having an affair years ago while he was still married to Donna Hanover.
Much Sympathy (and empathy) for his wife Silda and three daughters who must live with this shame for the time being. I wish them well and hope that someday they are able to rise above this and move on with their lives...with OR without him in the picture!
Onward & Upward in putting this sordid mess behind us all and for our Lieutenant Gov, David Paterson, who will be taking the helm on Monday! Unknown to most of the NY public until now (although he's been a powerful, positive influence in Albany, he's kept a low profile as far as we-the-people are concerned). The news reports him as being very intelligent and personable; someone that the NY delegates, Senate and Congress will be able to work amicably with. He's legally blind and therefore has been able to successfully rise above adversity! Also, he's a LONG ISLANDER...we're ALL sooo proud of him and wish him much success and headache medicine...he's gonna need it as far as our state budget is concerned!!
The only good news about this is that it once again kept Britney out of the spotlight for a short while!
