Now I need you help Mr. Spitzer. My local supermarket is colluding with their suppliers to set prices on avocadoes. Maybe I could pay less somewhere else but I’m a helpless consumer and won’t comparison-shop. Help me Mr. Spitzer!
During the D.O.I’s investigation of broker’s and compensation they found nothing that violated state law. Still, we were forced to live under a magnifying glass and subject to ridicule and our companies paid millions in fines.
So if Mr. Spitzer, as he claims, did nothing wrong perhaps he should be held up to the same standards that we have had to. So Mr. Spitzer, let’s see an investigation into your dealings and then pay a hefty fine for the “so called” actions of your aides but not of you.
What a surpise! Corruption in politics! Of course, when Mr. Spitzer was going after those evildoers, he was not even the slightest concerned about moving his way up the Mafia (oops, sorry, I meant political) ladder. We all know of course that when someone has “government employee” after their name, they instantly become not only all-knowing but morally flawless. I, for one, sleep much better knowing that Mr. Spitzer and others of his ilk are keeping us safe from the free market.
I don’t remember anyone being convicted of anything in this situation. My memory may be faulty, but it seems like hefty settlements out of court made hizhonor a happy politician and governor.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Yeah, right.
I wonder how he feels sitting in that hot seat.
Mr. Cuomo, go get him.

Live by the sword, die by the sword?
If bid rigging isn’t violating the law, you need to read the law again. Those brokers didn’t plead guilty to traffic violations.
Wonder how much he blackmailed insurance companies to fatten his campaign fund??
