Politicians - Eliot Spitzer
For a while, I actually believed this guy might be OK...
Michael Goodwin reports in the New York Daily News:
"Surrounded by enemies real and imagined, Spitzer is on a binge, buying friends and supporters at the expense of everyone else. Good government, law enforcement and fiscal responsibility be damned. This is 'Survivor: Albany.'
In the last week alone, Spitzer said New York would provide driver's licenses to illegal immigrants with passports, he ended requirements for interviews and fingerprints to get food stamps and also plans to sue Washington over its denial of his plan to expand a health insurance program to cover children whose families earn up to $82,600. Spitzer also wants to hike the hotel tax again to build a more expensive Javits Convention Center, an idea favored by unions."
