Welcome to Spitzer Underground
:rofl:

I'm sorry -- I couldn't help it.

It's just that it's so funny how DU immerses itself into the hot topic of the day.

:)

13. That would be "Ferrari." Rep. Geraldine's name is the singular Ferrraro...!
I actually owned a Maserati once, when I lived in Italy. PITA car, very sensitive. Needed more maintenance than I thought was reasonable. I also had a FIAT (Fix It Again, Tony) that ran like a top--I rarely needed "Tony" for that car.

3. I think it's more complex than that.
Or, perhaps simpler: It's the Manichean Underground. Very little nuance to be found of late.

4. I'm honestly getting sick of seing nothing but news on Spitzer
Spitzer this, Spitzer that. Can we talk about something else now? How bout cavemen? They're still alive and well in this world.

9. I don't have a TV
so the only way I know what stupid pseudo-news is clogging the airwaves and cable TV is by watching what seemingly unimportant issue begins springing up suddenly all over DU. (this one is somewhat important though, usually it's the "gunman shoots up xxx, or missing blond stories I discover this way.)

12. Well, this case might be a little special.
There's the whole "WHATTHEF*CK!!!!1111" aspect.

He's the last person many of us expected to do this sort of thing. So a lot of folks are attempting to rationalize/explain this surprising and disappointing situation.

18. I almost never disagree with you, but I do tonight.

IMHO, this is a really sad and important story. I thought and hoped that one day this man might run for POTUS.

And I could get into all sorts of psychological analysis about why I believed in this man, but it doesn't even matter.

This is a tragedy. It makes me feel better just to admit it, than to try to ameliorate what this represents. This isn't some trivial thing.

Sorry, my dear CatWoman, I find little to laugh about in our 1930s Germany Redux, in our nation which now, RIGHT NOW, is little different than Putin's Russia or Communist China, except that we peasants get treated, for the moment, more nicely or "with kid gloves" because we alone among the Big Three BushPutinist States have a tradition of freedom going back two centuries that must be more slowly and carefully dismantled.

I wish I could laugh at it.

P.S my kitty says hi to your kitties!
