JERK!

Hey, Spitzer, the next time you get caught patronizing a prostitution ring try not to make your "apology" speech sound just like every other speech you've made. You know, like the one where you touted the values of public education. Or when you discussed the issue of poverty in our New York neighborhoods. Employment and health insurance used to be hot topics for you. Remember that time when you tried to institute a policy that would allow undocumented immigrants to get drivers' licenses? You seemed sincere. You delivered all of those speeches with the same self-assured, authoritative, confident tone you brought to your speech today... where you said, "I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family." Pardon me, but I think you must now actually be held accountable to the same set of laws the people of your state are obligated to follow. No offense, but you have a lot more to worry about than the fact that you screwed your family out of any sense public peace or happiness.

For what it's worth, I despise the fact that Spizter Swallows is still the lead story on the Times' website. I know it's news. But there's something about a war somewhere... where the hell were they yammering on about yesterday? Oh yeah - Iraq. There's a war there. Or how about the recession? Presidential campaigns? Gitmo torture tactics? How about we focus on something other than our governor's criminal sexual tastes. I mean really, if that douche wants to spend $4k/hour to have Cheyenne or Cynnamin get him off I don't care. Get out of the office that my taxes pay for and then you can do all the pathetic hooker diddling you want, Spizter. I hope your wife has a good lawyer. You certainly don't seem to be one... seeing as you... broke... the... law. You'd think going to law school would make you remember those pesky little regulations better than the average Joe.

I guess there's a silver lining: If Spizter resigns (like he should) Lt. Gov. David Paterson will serve the rest of term... and he'd be NY's first black gov. Plus, he's legally blind. Neat factoid.
