Political culture in New York is not as bad as Illinois or Louisiana.

This story is shocking but not as shocking as you might think if you were watching from here in New York. Spitzer came in with this larger than life man-of-justice image and attitude like he could do and get away with whatever he wanted. A lot of the big cases he made as prosecutor were really just him being a thug and threatening to shut down companies if they didn’t capitulate and roll over. The press loved him b/c it meant a Democrat was back in the big house, but it seemed like it was just a matter of time before he lost it. His comment to Assemblymen Tedisco upon taking office was “I am a f***ing steamroller and I’ll roll over you or anybody else.” Classy guy. He tried to take out the Senate Majority leader using the state police and the resulting “Troopergate” pretty much sunk his first year agenda.

David Vitter, Larry Craig, et. al., did not resign; what makes Spitzer different? Being a crook is a hardly disqualification for office in Bush’s America.

The real question here is whether Spitzer’s conversations were wiretapped legally — with a warrant — or as part of the ongoing and ever-widening domestic spying. Would be interesting to see that litigated.

will he resign - I doubt it, look at the democrats caught in worse situations, did they do the right thing, I think not.
