1. Another Roosevelt has a say about what has just happened..
with Spitzer's fast resignation when it is doubtful that misdemeanors or high crimes were committed by him.

"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." Franklin D. Roosevelt

2. I guess you're saying ...
I guess you're saying that Old Eliot got a "Raw Deal."

3. what happens to any semblence of democracy when leaders can simply have their cords pulled ...
at the whim of an 'eminence grise' elite?

This is really a lousy system -- no wonder so many authentic progressive issues are able to be systematically blacklisted

You have to wonder if he wasn't part of the whole deal since I fail to believe any Attorney General would not know about methods of tracking prostitutes, etc. The whole resignation thing was just too fast. It sent out a "red flag alert" in my brain. That is after so many years of Bushco false flag events.

Was he a target or a plan to get back NY State for Republicans? He didn't do as he promised and is now gone after 16 months or so. He certainly had the support of the people.

He did little and now doesn't have to investigate 911 like he promised the families.

If you let yourself think about it all...the plots seem pretty much going in the direction of Neo Cons back in power. A cover to hide all the Wall Steet investigations too.

Who could it be? It's not just the man but the power/party agenda behind him who suffers.

-Carl Rove wanted revenge and a Republican win in the NY state November.

-Rove removal of all Attorney Generals and Governors not fitting into the Bush agenda for power. No one should be jailed for fraud in the Bush family of Friends.

-The impeachment of Cheney and Bush cover up story by the Bush Cons?

-Waxman demand for testimony and documents from the White House staff cover up and distraction story by the WH Cons?

-Financial crisis cover up and story by the WH Cons?

-Hiding the fact that Congress and the President once again approved torture, spying, etc. against the people's wishes cover up story?

-Spitzer's political rivals in his own party for power. They can't get elected by the people.

-Wall Street crooks worried about on going investigations and fraud removal by Spitzer.

-911 Cons who stole the gold at the WTC and allowed very important files to burn ( on purpose). Don't want it known.

Will those petitions by the people to the NY City Attorney Generals office be ignored for 911 story to be opened once again? The people still want answers to their questions.

-Spitzer self destructed from his office on purpose. He was elected by a popular margin only to leave destroying any hope of another "crusader Liberal" in that office for some time.

-Spitzer was threatened to leave or else his family,etc. by the WH thugs. That's why his wife didn't want him to resign?

-Last but not the least important...Spitzer just self destructed from his own arrogance and ego.

I agree. It certainly was an event planned by the power elite. How does that sword feel any victim and their family of their PNAC plan?

You sleep with dogs you get fleas.
