Because Gibbons didn't have Joe Bruno biting the inside of his ass.

I hope Bruno dies in a federal prison.

At least Paterson didn't turn out to be the complete wimp the Legislature thought he was. I'm really starting to like the guy, though he's no "farking steamroller."

/may have to write in Spitzer on the next ticket

He should have gotten a few blowjobs from a twentysomething year old intern; you're even allowed to lie about doing it under oath and still stay in office....

eqtworld:He should have gotten a few blowjobs from a twentysomething year old intern; you're even allowed to lie about doing it under oath and still stay in office....

Well, to be fair he still had to stay married to his wife

Because we expect that kind of stuff out of Republicans. Democrats are apparently held, by everyone including Republicans, to a higher moral standard.

I thought that was a requirement to be governor of nevada.

Why dont they all fark their wives so they dont get all uppity with other women?

I lol'd.

Well played, subby.

soze:Because Gibbons didn't have Joe Bruno biting the inside of his ass.

Bruno is a douche but Spitzer was right up there on that same level of douchiness, you got him wasting our tax money having people followed around by the cops and you have a guy who again wasted our tax money by making it a point of prosecuting the very victimless crime he got caught doing. what a douchnozzle...

dletter:He is Governor of Nevada, is he expected to pass a morality test?

true, very true, perhaps we should just get our legislators from nevada, then we won't be surprised

He's disgraced because he steeply overpaid for a ridiculously average whore, ATM style. There's just no forgiving spending money on something that's free.

Because Spitzer is a hypocrite. He prosecuted vice crimes and grandstanded his opposition. This other guy is a d-bag, no doubt, but Eliot made his career pursuing people for stuff just as illegal and probably less immoral that what he was doing.

I was a fan of Spitzer and I'm a NY Dem, but he threw an awful lot of stones before we found out he lived in a glass house.

Spitzer should have flown to Nevada and bought a hooker legally, I don't see how people could biatch if that were the case.

Prostitution is legal in Nevada. And anyone who reads AOL is retarded.

Ding Ding Ding! We have a WINRAR!

Did he ride in to office on the "I'd like to attend a BBQ and have a beer with that fella" vote?

Spitzer went to a jurisdiction where prostitution is illegal and might have used government funds to pay for the interstate illegal activity after years of prosecuting people who did that.

Gibbons seems like just a run-of-the-mill political horndog douchebag.

How does he not get a hero tag?

"notable only for the story of his drunken rampage against a cocktail waitress"

We all thought of doing it, but only he had the guts. Hero.

Drunken rampage? It sounds like a typical saturday night to me!

Kome:Because we expect that kind of stuff out of Republicans. Democrats are apparently held, by everyone including Republicans, to a higher moral standard.

TrollFail. See Debeo Summa Credo's post for the correct answer.

First off - how do these incredible buffoons end up on a ballot? Who does this happen?

Next question, when somehow (and I'm not sure I understand how this is) a buffoon
does get elected (and again, I don't know how this happens) why isn't it easier to
remove them from office?

What the hell is wrong with this country?
Why are we in this handbasket and where are we going?

dletter:He is Governor of Nevada, is he expected to pass a morality test?

not all counties have legal gambling and prostetution.....

BTW - Nevada in generally considered to be a Conservative stronghold.

go figure

He's should Swallow instead.

we must stop hiring politicians simply because they want to be politicians

it's that simple.

what you do, for serious elected office, is draw from a pool of people who have proven themselves to be intelligent, competetent and compassionate throughout their lives

then choose from that pool of extraordinary human beings
instead of a pool of scum.


it wouldn't be that hard, and i imagine the country would work more as it was intended to.

Nathan Petrelli tried that approach and look where he is now.

Random Reality Check:Who does this happen?

That's right. I typed that.
I even previewed the post.
I are a genius, just not in this.

Random Reality Check:Why are we in this handbasket and where are we going?

Your sign is pointing the wrong direction. Everyone knows Hell is down, not to the left.

Did Joe Gibbons campaign against alleged sexual predators in Yahoo Chatrooms, subsequently sued Yahoo to get them shut down, then get caught with his pants down his ankles in front of a prostitute?

JonEdangerousli:eqtworld:He should have gotten a few blowjobs from a twentysomething year old intern; you're even allowed to lie about doing it under oath and still stay in office....

Well, to be fair he still had to stay married to his wife

That was his ultimate punishment, still married to Hillary.

Soze for the love of God, Spitzer is not worth a write in... I'll admit to voting for him but all he 'steamrolled' in Albany was a path to more bickering and wasted time by the rest of those mal-adjusted mutants.

Clean house, NY, clean house... (although Paterson is doing ok.)

eqtworld:He should have gotten a few blowjobs from a twentysomething year old intern; you're even allowed to lie about doing it under oath and still stay in office....

Yeah because lying about a blowjob is certainly a good enough reason to remove a president from office.

Not like he started a war based on lies...

For the same reason Clinton kept his gig?

HotWingConspiracy:Did he ride in to office on the "I'd like to attend a BBQ and have a beer with that fella" vote?

His opponent was a "carpetbagger" from Georgia who ran on a platform of turning Nevada into California. Even though we have a lot of trash from further west blowing this direction, there's not enough of it here (yet) to ruin our beautiful state. Better to have an incompetent idle at the helm for 4 years than have someone rush to ruin the best aspects of the state.

Kome:Because we expect that kind of stuff out of Republicans. Democrats are apparently held, by everyone including Republicans, to a higher moral standard.

This is true. Because when people think of Democrats they think High Moral Standards!

So you're saying we should force people to govern who don't want to? Yeah, that makes lots of sense.

But I do agree with you in general, and here's how I usually put it: you know how everyone biatches that at work "it's all politics," no matter what job it is? And the people who thrive in environments are exactly the people we hate. So imagine what douchebags the people are who say to themselves "it's ALL politics!? GREAT!"

Yyeeeaah, I kinda think thats where he was going with that one.

We were just impressed that Gibbons was interested in women. When Republican is caught with a woman, we are so shocked that our moral outrage is squashed.

Paterson is fixing New York the way it should be. He has NO friends .. is putting money in the right places and is actually DOING his job rather then getting his knob sucked.

Still he came into the governership so gangsta. "yeah i cheated on my wife .. did some blow .. WHAT OF IT?"

lol .. i like the blind gov.


Nathan Brazil:eqtworld:Spitzer should have flown to Nevada and bought a hooker legally, I don't see how people could biatch if that were the case.

Gods, you retards.

He did. not. lie about it, he used lawyer logic in court.

The court had defined "sexual relations" as "penis in vagina". A blowjob wasn't included in the courts' definition.

LSinLV:BTW - Nevada in generally considered to be a Conservative stronghold.

Yes, but not an insane one, and not all that conservative -- noted non-Republican Harry Reid is from Nevada, for example. One of the state's reps is also a Democrat, and the Assembly is controlled by Democrats. All of which is to say that's it's "conservative" but not by any means a one-party state, which in turn leads to the question of what the hell kind of idiot did the Democrats run in the last election that this bozo Gibbons ended up governor? I mean, seriously. Did they run a 350-pound Elvis impersonator or something?

Terryg999:Kome:Because we expect that kind of stuff out of Republicans. Democrats are apparently held, by everyone including Republicans, to a higher moral standard.

It's all in the "stance", Repub's just have a "wider stance".

/ask Larry :)

Gen. Apathy:Yeah because lying about a blowjob is certainly a good enough reason to remove a president from office.

apples to bicycles.....

one is single person (who is a licensed member of the courts) who directly lied, while under oath. the other is a complete idiot led by a bunch of idiots who twisted the truth to get to a position of power and use it against another county.

why both are unforgivable, it took many people (please Bush is an idiot and if you think he, and he alone created the war, YOU are a farking moron), for a member of the court to KNOWINGLY lie and mislead the court is inexcusable.
it that an impeachable offense, no; but he should have been found guilty of perjury and lying to congress and paid some penalty.
