um, Spitzer is for certain a sleazeball, but I think his comment was meant in a funny, self-deprecating kind of way, not in a "please feel sorry for me" kind of way.
RE: Jesse "I want my name back!" Jackson, Jr. Admitting you're a rat may not be the way to "get" your name back. Yay on you for whistle-blowing the corruption, but admitting to the snitchin' is political suicide.
@Crabby Cakes wants some Dance Biscuits.: sadly, he probably didnt have another choice. not to get all racial about this, but it is pretty commonly known that black politicians are held to a much higher standard and much more cooperation is demanded of them...for whatever reasons. that said, had he not snitched, he may have experienced other consequences that may have put his job at risk too. he was likely screwed either way.
@anonymiss: Yeah, but it sounds like he snitched in retaliation to Blagojevich holding up his wifes appointment to a state board, not cause he was held up to a higher standard. Again, not that I think he shouldn't have blown the whistle, I just don't know how you recover from it politically.
@Crabby Cakes wants some Dance Biscuits.: Not that I read the article, but if someone holds up an appointment and says 'you know you could grease the wheels.' the first thing you should do is 'snitch'.
Eliot, I'm pretty sure that being caught with a hooker while serving as governor means you are required to feign humility for at least 28 weeks. You don't have sincerely feel it, mind you, but civilized society really requires some display of self-awareness.
It's about time someone eased up off Caroline Kennedy. I mean to attack someone based on their last name and your delusion that they are trying to cash it in for political gain stinks of insecurity on your part.
Of all the people to hurl crap at Caroline Kennedy is not one of them.
@sportz.star: That cannot be the same Eliot Spitzer, can it? Really? When I saw the name I thought "oh, what an unfortunate coincidence! This guy has the same name as that douchebag from N.Y.!"

No one cares what you think any more. Just keep doing whatever Silda tells you to do.
