SPITZ VOWS TO PUSH FOR GAY MARRIAGES

- Gov. Spitzer said at a private fund-raiser that he wants a Democratic-controlled state Senate to legalize gay marriage - a highly divisive and controversial issue - as one of its first priorities in 2009, a witness to the remarks told The Post.

Spitzer, a gay-marriage proponent, pledged to help Democrats next November win the three Senate seats they need to gain the majority.

"One of the first things we're going to do when [Senate Minority Leader] Malcolm Smith is [majority] leader is gay marriage," the witness recounted Spitzer as telling some 60 people who paid up to $10,000 each to attend the event in Greenwich Village Wednesday night.

"Everybody applauded when he said that," said the witness, who was among senators, Democratic activists and lobbyists at a fund-raising event for the Senate Democratic Committee. It was held in the library of the elegant West 13th Street home of HBO's "Oz" creator Tom Fantana.

Two other witnesses, including an elected official, said they couldn't recall Spitzer's exact language, but added that the governor suggested a Democratic-controlled state Senate would follow the state Assembly's action this year in passing, for the first time ever, a gay-marriage bill

I think he is auditioning for a possible VP position.

I couldn’t believe it when I saw this article this morning...Governor Steamroller forges ahead!

LOL!!

This guy is a real gem. Is NY stupid?

[rwa265]

Is he going to also push for gay marriages for illegals?

[SAJ]

He's about to go 0-for-3: first illegal alien driver licenses (and hence voting eligibility, de facto), then taxing Internet sales with NY's outrageous sales tax, now homosexual marriage.

The only question is: how perfectly foul must the 'Pubbie candidate have been for the voters of NY to elect this bozo in a landslide? Geesh.

Just desperate for votes, wherever he can get them. The hell with the consequences, as long as he can pander enough votes to stay in office, that is what is important.

Democrats LIE, there is nothing new in that...

It’s that people keep BELIEVING the lies that should be news...

[LIConFem]

No, Spitzer is stupid. NY is just really gullible.

Looks like Eliot is stepping that bag of sh*t again. After all, he's a Democrat. ROFLMAO!

Maybe he just really wants to get married.

[KC_Conspirator]

Steamroller? More like Governor Fascist. But this should not be surprising. Liberals always do that; shove filth and bad ideas down everyone’s throat after lying to get elected.

[bmwcyle]

Electing Spitz and Hillary is light years beyond gullible.

[svcw]

Wow, every time this guy opens his mouth another Republican is elected.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

“I think he is auditioning for a possible VP position.”...or doggie position.

[commish]

This PUTZ is the gift that keeps on giving.

I'm sure Bubba is giving him a call as we speak.
