lol c'mon, let's be realistic. I'm sure there are many many many politicians, regardless to what party they belong to, are having affairs, and/or are involving into any kinds of crimes. Among Spitzer and other Democrats in mind are just the unfortunate ones to be caught and publicized.

Hmmmm, Spitzer prosecuted prostitution rings and HE was called "Client 9"! Hypocrisy, anyone? LOL...

Dropped a plan becuase of high constituent pressure to issue drivers licenses to illegal immigrants...

Is a superdelegate to the Hillary campaign. Let's see Hillary condemn him, lol....

Nope, didn't forget about Tricky Dick at all. Just thought I'd bring up the most recent case for Byrdie.

It made me laughed. He is so dumb. I heard that he spent 80,000 dollars. What a shame! Poor wife! She will abuse him after his speech for sure.

I like Richard Nixon, and I think he was a good political. I'm sad for his troubles, and he shouldn't give up easily. But, I am Democrat.

That's interesting about David Paterson's handicapped.

All differences aside, I feel bad for his wife. After seeing his annoucnement of resignation on television, you can see his wife is having a horrible time by her expression on her face.

I doubt that she hasn't been sleeping well for the past few nights due to the bags under her eyes.
