It’s a shame to me that I have to turn my thoughts away from my dysfunctional lust for sneakers to think about the dysfunctional lust of sneaky politicians.
If you haven’t heard or read the news already let me keep it simple. The New York governor, ELIOT SPITZER, was caught with his pants around his ankles, literally.
Shit is fucked the fuck up in the statehouse right now on several different levels. The steely public image of the governor is shattered. Mainly, because now there is this ironic hypocrisy factor. The governor came into office from the vantage point of a lawman who would shake the trees to vett out corruption and restore integrity to the governor’s mansion. SPITZER’s resume and reputation were unassailable. He had made his career on attacking the establishment and dismantling the entrenched, embedded old boy network from New York City to Albany.
This brought a lot of haters to SPITZER’s doorstep. Quiet as shit is kept I think that even people within the Democratric party were shook by SPITZER. His hard charging approach would turn over every stone and would stop at nothing, even if that meant throwing fellow party members under the bus. You have to walk easy once that becomes your reputation. I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if someone who had access to his ear set him up for this fall.
I certainly don’t excuse ELIOT SPITZER for his immoral actions, but they appear so sloppy and mismanaged I have to wonder who put this shit together. From his experience as the state attorney general, the governor knows how hot the phone lines are in these post-911 days. From his experience as the top state prosecutor he also knows about upscale escort services and how they operate. I’m not saying that he still wouldn’t avail himself of these services, but his movement should have been on some governor level shit.
This mess was hell’a sloppy like a KWAME KILPATRICK text message bundle. My opinion is that his own inner circle was infiltrated by the party machinery in order to remove him from office before he uncovered some big money shenanigans. Keep in mind that there is a culture of immorality that follows political power so believe that no one in elected office is vice free. I just think that ELIOT SPITZER had scared the shit out of a cabal of wealthy dudes and homeboy had to be given the political version of a ‘Ho Sit Down’.
