Bad Week for Liberals and its only Wednesday!

Well the news just keep getting worst for liberals as they are exposed and the war heats up for the Democrat nomination

Tuesday came the news that New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, paid tens of thousands of dollars as a repeat customer of a high-priced prostitution service.
The is a man who built his political reputation on rooting out corruption.

In addition. Spitzer paid train fare for his call girl from New York to Washington opening up federal prosecition on vilation of the Mann Act. Spitzer known as "Client 9" become the object of a federal investigation when cash payments from several bank accounts when into an account operated by a call-girl ring.

Spizer, married and the father of teenage girls has had his share of problems while in office. Including an unpopular plan to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and a plotting to smear Republicans.

Normally one would think that a Governor caught engaging in illegal activities would be reason to step down from office. However, as I write this it seems that Spitzer may be taking a page out of the Clinton/Monica handbook.
Another Clinton "legacy."

Following on the heels of the Spitzer scandal former vice-presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro, made this statement to a California paper.

"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position,"

Ouch

Former Democrat vice-presidential candidate Ferraro just happens to be
a member of Sen. Hillary Clinton's finance committee.

Seems as if Ferraro had a "moment" and said in public what Hillary believes in private.

Then there is the continuing saga of Michigan Democrats re-doing the Democrat Primary. Of course Hillary wants to change the rules as it would benefit her by adding more delegates to her tally. Obama wants nothing to do with it because it doesn't benefit him. Once more liberals show that the rules mean nothing.

And then there is Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick embroiled in his own sex scandal. Just the latest in a series of scandal and corruption in the Kilpatrick admistration.

Kilpatrick is refusing to step down, willing to let the citizens and the city of Detroit suffer more strife, division and local and national embarrassment.

Yes its been a busy week so far for liberals.

One can only imagine, "What next"?

However the upside to this is that liberals are imploding and exposing themselves for who they really are.

Voters are you paying attention?

UPDATE

According to various news sources, Spitzer is scheduled to announce his resignation at 11:30 a.m. today.

Kwame Kilpatrick are you paying attention?

DO THE RIGHT THING

Taking a break from painting my ENTIRE finished basement (What was I thinking ?!!)

I wonder;

Will the Detroit City Council, meeting now to vote on calling for the mayor's resignation, do the right thing and rid the city of one of most corrupt and scandal ridden administration in the nation?

We will find out later today. The sad tale of corruption and scandals started almost as soon as Kwame Kilpatrick took office. Related articles can be found on the Detroit Free Press site here http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080304/NEWS01/80304028

The scandal and corruption has even cost the city of Detroit needed revenue as others by pass the city.

"About 2,500 mayors and staff members who were to converge on Detroit in April -- bringing an economic boost and national exposure to a beleaguered city -- are rerouting to New Orleans.

Asked if the decision to move the annual convention was tied to the text message scandal, Vanessa Williams, executive director of the National Conference of Black Mayors, told the Free Press, "I think anyone can look around and see what's going on." http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080301/NEWS05/803010339/0/NEWS01

Shameful that our Governor can't bring herself to even suggest that Kilpatrick step down. Evidently everyone besides our Governor, can "look around and see what going on"

"Granholm declined to say whether she believed the mayor should resign, but noted that the scandal has invited potentially damaging national exposure." http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080229/NEWS06/802290422/1003/NEWS01

Too bad Jennifer Granholm is playing politics instead of doing the right thing and encouraging Kilpatrick to step down for the good of a major Michigan city


UPDATE
Updated at 12:58 p.m.

The Detroit City Council has decided to postpone a vote asking for Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to resign until March 18.

In a tense council chamber, and after substantial comment from the public urging the council to approve the resolution, the council decided to wait on a 6-3 vote.
Voting to delay action were Council President Ken Cockrel Jr., Council President Pro Tem Monica Conyers and Councilmembers Sheila Cockrel, Barbara-Rose Collins, Martha Reeves and Alberta Tinsley-Talabi. Councilmembers JoAnn Watson, Brenda Jones and Kwame Kenyatta opposed a delay.

Kilpatrick had derided the vote as meaningless, but Kilpatrick spokesman James Canning said the mayor's office is pleased the council voted to delay a vote.

What can I say?

Mayor's office is pleased = citizens of Detroit being sold down the river
