Tragedy? The only tragedy is for the hipocrate Spitzer's wife and family. I'll bet he used campaign funds to support the expenses of travel, transport of prostitutes, etc...to get his fix. It's all about arrogance, power, and greed. Here we had the leader of the so-called 'welfare state' with enough play money to blow $80-90 grand for sex. Help me understand where the tragedy is concerning this high-falootin' john? No tragedy at all for dillusional Ellliot.
I find it sad that Spitzerswallow's first thought upon arriving in Niagara Falls was to arrange a hooker.
(But, would he would be in so much better shape if he lost that $80K in Indian casinos?)
future headline that no one will use:
"Reversal of roles when Spitzer Swallows pride and Prostitute Spits out the details."
(they won't use it 'cuz it's too long. a mouthful if you will...)
He feels that he accomplished a lot...lol.. okay here are Spitzer's Top 3 accomplishments prior to 72 hours ago.... 1) Failed plan to offer driver's licenses to illegal immigrants...Can you say WTF....Down is Up, Left is Right...A US Citizen who misses a child support payment loses their license ! 2) Scandal over aides compiling travel documents on Republican Senate Leader Joseph Bruno leading to gridlock in the State Legislature. 3) The NYS Budget was passed a day late, and included record spending that was more than double the inflation rate.
Good riddance Elliott.
Feel good stories not covered in BRO: 1) Studio Arena's closing 2) Fast food delivery driver shot on the East Side 3) Realtor beaten while photographing houses on the East Side 4) Appraisal.com goes out of business, liquidation auction held on Tuesday 5) 100 Buffalo Police Officers and Fire Fighters make over $100,000 last year. One Buffalo Police Officer earned $122,000 in overtime in 2007. I wonder if he is going to work the St. Patrick's day parade? 6) Enterprise Charter School's financial and educational issues
Rebecca - Does it matter if it fits the BRO mission?????????
1) It effects Buffalo that David Patterson will be the new gov. 2) Spitzer...well..yea..it'll be interesting to see where he ends up now...
"suffered a life and career devastating blow."
is that like a mortal kombat fatality?
FINISH HIM
yes it is time to unite in this time of tragedy. we need to get tpgether to work with the new govenor. if we all get together and think good thoughts about the govenor and buffalo allot might start to get done instead of making jokes.
How does this fit into the BRO mission?
Also, this news is availble EVERYWHERE.
This is not a feel good story.
LivingForge - lighten up man. get yourself a high paid hooker. you'll feel better.
BackInBuffalo - good line...funny
Rebecca - this is big news, let it go
Ike - I wonder if "Kristin" will market her ability to deliver the devastaing blow?
Instead of regurgitating the bad jokes and ouns about this ordeal - for all of us - why not come up with some ideas on how we can work with the new Gov.? He seems to have strong WNY ties. So, come on, everybody, get the good groove on and decide what direction we need to take with Paterson. Don't forget, the pundits are reading....
I'm not sure how these particular articles on Spitzer fall under BRO's purview. Why don't we get some analysis of how the loss of the gov who actually visited and spoke in Buffalo and recognized Upstate's different needs enough to get a ball rolling is going to effect WNY? There have been a lot of jokes, but let's get serious here. A guy made a horrible mistake and ruined his family trust. He's also the governor who made some big promises that could have seen the light of day in Buffalo. Now what?
Patterson:
Biz 1st notes that he has been in Albany for 20 years, nuff said!
Rebecca,
You have not been reading BRO if you think it is simply about feel good stories.
I wonder how many 'nooners' he pulled while on the state government clock? Estimating he dropped @90 grand on hookers from this escort service? This is just the tip of the iceburg folks! Wonder who Clients 1-8 are? How 'bout the NYS Police...his security detail...I'm sure they had no idea! Elliott 'Dudley Doowright' Spitzer...the self-proclaimed 'steamroller' is now a sad little rich-boy 'john'...awwww! And how 'bout his 90-secong speech today? Full of arrogance--with the flair of a great orator! He actually keeps describing this as a 'personal matter'...HE's cooked!
I don't think we'll need to hold that seat for Rebecca at the McCain rally.
Just goes to show you what rich people spend everyone else's money on. Their heads are so far up their own asses it makes it impossible to trust anyone in politics. For the Good of the People my ASS!
Governors looking for some "relaxation" should avoid the Mayflower Hotel. There's a Hilton Garden Inn outside Arlington that offers free breakifast and zippy in and out porking....um parking. And the elevators have Braille buttons.
joey - yes, "Shrinking City Number 9" - now that would be a marketing campaign. Doubt we could afford her is all.
looks like client number 9 is going to be looking for wifey number 2 - david letterman
Great, it is over for us. Now we can move on and let the former Governor do the same.
