....that a good man like the Governor had to resign....

Good man??? How can they say his name, and the word "good" in the same sentence? The only thing Spitzer is good at is hypocrisy. He will be remembered for adding another Big to the state of the Big Apple. They now are home to the Big Sleaze!

They say that Bill pays Hillary $4300 per hour to NOT have sex with him. ;-)

Good riddins Elliot Spitzer. Never liked you. Didn’t vote for you. Knew you were a dirt bag. Thanks for nothing and making things in New York worse than they were when you took office.

RUSH: One more thing about Eliot Spitzer you have to understand. A lot of people ask, "Why did the media love Spitzer?" Well, here was the official Drive-By prosecutor is the way to look at this. I mean, he was going after targets that the left despises institutionally, not so much personally. Here's how Spitzer operated, folks. He would threaten to ruin people. He would file an action. He'd call a big press conference accusing these people, besmirching these people, and then squeeze them into settling to some consent decree to avoid the full force and power of his office. But few of his targets were actually found to have done anything wrong. This is what he did. Eliot Spitzer is what Mike Nifong wanted to be. If you really haven't followed Spitzer's career and you don't know much about him, Spitzer had to be Nifong's role model. I mean, this kind of excess -- no control, no discipline, pure exercise of political power to destroy people -- is exactly what Spitzer was engaged in. It was great press based on no substance, and the moral of it all is that he had no more business being a prosecutor than the Drive-Bys have a claim on being objective -- and this piece in the Wall Street Journal today by Kimberley Strassel just nails the Drive-By Media and their enabling behavior of Eliot Spitzer. Simply put, capitalism was his target, and he went after it with a vengeance. (cont.)

Amen to everything you said. Yes, purging is a good term to use. He’s looking for righteousness in all our leaders, secular or religious. I do pray for the Spitzers, especially for him to repent and ask the Lord to come into his life. He certainly can be raised up again, only this time a changed man. Hallelujah.

The following story is very appropriate for this topic.

Please forgive me for it :-)

Why I Fired My Secretary

Last week was my birthday
and I didn’t feel very well
waking up on that morning.

I went downstairs for breakfast
hoping my wife would be pleasant
and say, ‘Happy Birthday!’, and
possibly have a small present for me

As it turned out,
she barely said good morning,
let alone ‘Happy Birthday.’

I thought...
Well, that’s marriage for you,
but the kids....
They will remember.

My kids came bounding down stairs to
breakfast and didn’t say a word.
So when I left for the office,
I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said,
‘Good Morning Boss,
and by the way Happy Birthday! ‘
It felt a little better that at least someone had
remembered.

I worked until one o’clock,
when Jane knocked on my door
and said, ‘You know,
It’s such a beautiful day outside,
and it is your Birthday,
what do you say we go out to lunch,
just you and me.’
I said, ‘Thanks, Jane,
that’s the greatest thing
I’ve heard all day.
Let’s go!’

We went to lunch.
But we didn’t go
where we normally would go.
She chose instead a quiet bistro
with a private table.
We had two martinis each
and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.
On the way back to the office,
Jane said, ‘You know,
It’s such a beautiful day...
We don’t need to go straight back to the office, Do We ?’

I responded,
‘I guess not. What do you have in mind?’

She said, ‘Let’s drop by my apartment,

it’s just around the corner.’

After arriving at her apartment,
Jane turned to me and said,
‘ Boss, if you don’t mind,
I’m going to step into the bedroom
for just a moment.
I’ll be right back.’
‘Ok,’ I nervously replied.

She went into the bedroom and,
after a couple of minutes,
she came out carrying a huge birthday cake .
Followed by my wife, my kids,
and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing ‘Happy
Birthday.

And I just sat there...

On the couch...

I certainly agree in that I also hope he finds the experience humbling and life changing for him. I also hope he finds redemption through our Lord. It will be up to him to seek that redemption.

By the way, where are those dog-sqeeze dems now??? Where’s all there compassion for “THE CHILDREN”?

That only comes into play when the dims can use it to score points against conservatives and Republicans.
