Spitzer on Ratigan
Ratigan asks are we going to see handcuffs

Evidence of civil and criminal misconduct.
Who was running the Fed asks Spitzer? Geithner (New York) and Bernanke (overall)

Time for some men and women to be frogmarched to prison.
Fuld should be first. Lehman and Ernst and Young = Enron and Anderson.

2. Just wish it were someone other than Spitzer calling the sleazebags out...

the thought of that guy having sex with a $4000 an hour (or whatever it was) prostitute with his socks on - well, it kind of undermines his gravitas...

9. At least Spitzer paid for sex with his own money...
The Robber Barons on Wall Street are gang raping America with impunity.

5. he lost his job and anytime he speaks it will be "oh look, the whoremonger is talking"
he has no cred left. The only thing he can do is be a talking head on the nonstop nonnews shows

7. Vitter, Ensign, and Coburn still sit in the Senate. But Spitzer is blackballed.
Yup. Makes perfect sense to me.

13. Well then I guess President Clinton
shouldn't be listened too either? He's still there and we honor his work and his words mean something don't they?
Spitzer was my Governor and NYer's would love to have him back.

6. I think it depends on your background if you really care who Spitzer was sleeping with.
Wallstreet and polliticians after all are whores themselves. At least they are providing direct trickle down when they hire a professional for sex. I honestly don't give a fig about who's doing who.. Actually, I'd be happier to know they were getting some and not repressing their urges into stupid "morality" bills.

15. I just read...
"No One Would Listen" by Harry Markopolos and it absolutely infuriated me. I hope he can do something about it one day.
