So Spitzer resigned

Associated Press just announced the little weasel just weaseled out again;
Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced Wednesday that he is resigning, completing a spectacular fall from power for a politician whose once-promising career imploded amid allegations that he paid thousands of dollars for high-end prostitutes.
“I look at my time as governor with a sense of what might have been,” Spitzer said, with his expressionless wife Silda standing at his side. “There is much more to be done, and I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people’s work.”
The fact that he resigned means that he reached a plea deal with prosecutors – his political office is all he had to use in a bargain. So whatever deal he reached, you know it’s a relatively sweet deal. Not one you nor I could’ve negotiated.
The New York Legislature should have worked through the night to impeach him so he’d have nothing to bargain with the Federal prosecutors and they could give him a couple of years of jail time. Let him tell his story and waste his “work of the people” horseshit on his cell mate, Tiny.
Spitzer got off a lot easier than he ever would have let the victims of his fishing expeditions. I’m pretty sure karma has something for his ass, though.
Bill O’Reilly and Radio Equalizer plumb the depths of the Left for their mitigation of Spitzer’s crime. Folks, there’s no mitigating here – he was a prosecutor who sent other people to jail for the same damn thing.
Mitigate this!

And so the hangman, who so relished his position on the platform that he went hoodless, is now on the other end of the witch-trial gavel. But unlike some of his victims, he actually broke the law. Among his victims, his wife, children, and so many of those who hitched their political and/or career waggons to him, are the legitimate state attornies general and prosecutors who do not abuse their power. Please excuse me if my human failings prohibit me from preaching mercy for this man who woke up every morning on his Quixotic quest to “clean up this town.”
After threatening the Hannity producers, and other individuals who actually asked him difficult questions and others who publicly stood up for friends who he was trying to destroy, now he’ll be asked some real whoppers. Don’t let the door hit ya….
