Spitzer is under fire for COVERTLY using the state police to spy on Bruno who, by the way, was found to have not broken any laws (though Albany rules are lax). it’s a clear attempt to literally turn NY into a police state.

Elliot didn’t know anything? Unlikely. And he’s already acknowledged wrong-doing though he hasn’t been proven to be complicit… yet.

Bruno is a known crook who is under FBI investigation. Spitzer investigated his over use of State resources. He used the State Police to root out corruption.

I guess he used hid law enforcement experience to use foil request.

Ya know what…. It ain’t against the law!

Joe Bruno - uses state helicopters to carry him to GOP fundraising events.

Spitzer tries to stop him.

Get over it, Spitzer, unlike Pataki is trying to root out corruption. He is just impatient about it!

great photo & take alan…..the other ironic thing, of course, is that anello vehemently opposed the deal spitzer was in town to brag about. hank’s right, in the sense that spitzer’s hypocrisy is what makes his crime worse than that of the run of the mill albany crook. really, it’s been even more like a third world county here than usual. the niagara county board of elections’ “he’s on the ballot, he’s off the ballot, he’s on the ballot, oh, we’ll tell you about it tomorrow” routine was beyond belief.

Hank, from your posts it is quite easy to divine you voted for Bush not once, but twice. Thus you have little room to lecture anyone on being a sheeple or any sort of topics dealing with competence or corruption.

Why is Eliot Spitzer in trouble? Because his staff investigated whether Joe Bruno was wasting taxpayer money?

No, Not at ALL.

EVERYTHING CHANGES ON DAY ONE.

Well, It’s been well over 200 days. And the only thing that’s changed is instead of Pataki Bruno and Silver being the 3 Men in A Room (TM), Now it’s Spitzer, Bruno and Silver.

So, THAT’S EVERYTHING? Sorry Adam, what’s Changed in NY since January is NOTHING. But If Sptizer runs for re-election, the Democrat Sheeple of NY will bust a gut to vote for him again.

I agree with Adam. Why shouldn’t the governor and his staff be able to make up FOIL requests, use the state police to track Sen. Bruno and have them create documents to assist in a future FOIL request, and then reply to the request with information that was not even asked for in the original request? What gives?

Oh wait, that does sound like a problem.

This is ridiculous.
