Subject: The easiest way to get rid of Spitzer...
Has he uncovered some wrong-doing? Yes, certainly.
However....
The "wrong-doing" versus the punishment companies receive is all out of whack. They're not paying for the minor violations he's uncovered, they're paying for the flamethrower he threatens to put on them in the public media if they don't give him a payoff.
He's costing thousands of people their jobs -- simply to further his political life. I wouldn't use terms like "due process" to excite people, I'd point out that he's blackmailing corporations into giving him payoffs that look like "legal victories" -- but are more akin to neighborhood thugs collecting payoffs for Tammany Hall.
Robin Hood? No.
Boss Tweed? Yes.
Who really ends up paying in the end? The workers who lose their jobs, and the customers who pay higher prices, because the corporations have had to make cuts to compensate for the blackmail.
The closest analogy would be if he was a meter maid who has discovered that you might be five minutes over on your parking meter - YET - threatens to give you a ticket that says: "PEDOPHILE/RAPIST PARKING VIOLATION - PLEASE PAY IN FRONT OF THE NATIONAL MEDIA -- Charge: $100,000,000."
