Hypocrite Chronicles: Spitzer Goes Down

Democratic Governor gets his tail pinned back. 

Rule One: If you hound those who like prostitutes, you better stay away from them.

Jail time for Eliot, we hope.

Here under the BIRCHES we were just watching the red-shouldered hawks mating in the trees. We don't send them to jail. If we did, we would feel it necessary to stop doing that ourselves. Just to keep things balanced.

Margaret. Thanks for this reference.

Spitzer should go. Then we should ask some questions about why the Bush government was digging into his bank accounts.

Then you should wonder why they're digging into YOURS. Yes, what they do unto Spitzer in the name of anti-terrorism, they WILL do unto you. They will do it unto all of us.

Everything we all do is now being watched by this government. When they choose to get you, or me, they will.

Recently, I withdrew some money from a retirement fund. The financial institution I bank with then froze that money for two weeks while the government examined my transaction. This is in the name of anti-terrorism.

Welcome to the 21st Century and George W. Bush.
