 Eliot Spitzer Set for a Comeback Via CNNPosted on Jun 23, 2010
Luckily for former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, although the press can be merciless when it comes to the sexual peccadilloes of public figures, there’s also potential for a good comeback story to rise from the ruins of a political career. The latter appears to be the happier circumstance in which Spitzer finds himself after clinching a deal with CNN to do a debate show with conservative columnist Kathleen Parker. —KA

When Israel savagely murders a gentle, blameless, American
citizen like Rachel Corrie, traitors like you side with Israel.
The day is coming when people like you and Spitzer will pay
for all these years of shamefully manipulating the sympathy
of the American public for a foreign government.
Comes the day, my dear, dies irae.

Let’s all revisit Spitzer’s truly shameful moment:

I’m glad to see Spitzer coming back. We the people need more defenders from corporate corruption.
Oh, the media is Israeli-occupied? So how come the media never fails to bash Israel or give us the real facts? By the way, did you know that the supplies from the boarded ship were subsequently trucked to Gaza—but Hamas refused to accept it, saying they weren’t needed? Don’t you think the “Israeli-occupied media” would have spread this all over the news?

Spitzer was character assassinated by forces within the regime at that time. He successfully stepped on too many toes and had to be stopped. His inept campaign against the notoriously corrupt Bruno failed, but did succeed in putting the heat on and getting Bruno to eventually resign his position.

I was on board, championing his return. It would be good to have him back, especially as it regards Wall street. Then I saw him defending the Israeli attack on the Flotilla and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He was compromising himself, holding the the CNN line, so that he might be allowed another chance. It was pitiful to watch. The only other option is that he was/is ignorant. His little flashlight of truth and justice can only shine where OTHERS direct it to. Sad, very sad, that he should have to sell himself in order to make a livelihood— ah, but where have I heard that before?

Actually, the development that should have wrecked his
Report thiscareer forever was more recent than the sex scandal
and in fact had nothing to do with sex. His shameful defense
of the Israeli flotilla murders should have destroyed his reputation.
But of course, America’s Israeli-occupied corporate “news” media
did not allow this to become the scandal that it should have been.
