Whoa, Spitzer on MSNBC...
pounding GOP hypocrisy on 'judicial activism', citing Bush v Gore as THE act of judicial activism. His guest (didn't catch her name) was clearly not prepared for his informed questioning.

That was just pretty damned awesome.

1. I hope he re-enters public life...
He has too many talents to bury them under a sex scandal.

13. I agree. And I bet he will be liberated to be a straight talker and not worry about politics as
much.

16. And I think His Re-Appearance On Scene Can Be Attributed To Or At Least
the BIG Push/Help of Dylan Ratigan!! Ratigan has been a person I've come to really like and have learned a lot from his show!

He has Spitzer on a lot ever since his show at MSNBC aired! I've heard many denounce Ratigan, but for now... he gets a GOLD STAR from me!!

And it's been pretty snapped shut the past couple years.

2. Saw that.
He could make a good replacement for Shuster if Shuster has to go. But I'm not hoping for that.

3. I wish they would permanently replace Ratigan with Spitzer, he has been doing a pretty good job.

11. Hands off Ratigan, he's one of the few voices left that doesnt suck up to corporate interests

18. TOTALLY Agree With You... Just Commented About About Ratigan Myself!
Were it NOT for Ratigan, you wouldn't be seeing much of SPITZER! He seems to have revived/resurrected Spitzer, so give credit where credit is due!

Despite his personal failings, Spitzer is a brilliant man, has all the answers and never fails to impress. I'd vote for him again. :)

22. We might say that MUCH of the financial and Wall Street crap
would be done with, actually addressed.

COULD be why his indiscretions were uncovered, in fact, maybe WAS WHY that happened. There are reasons why con/repugs p.r. is so successful, they play HARDBALL.

25. Thanks for that link
Loved this:
“When you’ve got Mark Sanford and Rod Blagojevich, and other criminals in state houses, what Spitzer did doesn’t look as bad. Given the barrenness of the terrain, he may stand a little taller.”

20. That was fantastic.
He should get his own show, on CNBC if not MSNBC.

28. Looks like the "Discredit Spitzer" Tag Team is in full force here on DU.
Damaged goods or not, Spitzer should have an unofficial task force in the White House, if Doormat-o-crats were serious.
