Spitzer Day 2

Since the story broke on Monday, every corporate media headline has included this Big Lie: "Spitzer expected to resign." Well he hasn't, and there's no evidence he will. It looks like the Corporate Media tried to create a story rather than report it. Just another example of media bias against Democrats!

So now Republicans are talking about impeaching him. Impeachment for sex - where have we heard that before? Oh yeah - it was the only news story of 1998.

But what about impeachment for the murder of 4,000 Americans and 1 million Iraqis? What about impeachment for creating chaos in the Middle East and driving the price of oil from $30 to $110, and the price of gas from $1.40 to $4? What about impeachment for creating a Big Brother system to spy on the phone calls, emails, and mouse clicks of every American citizen? What about impeachment for outing a covert CIA operative and exposing herself and her spy network to murder?

Skeptics are starting to look carefully at the charges against Spitzer. What exactly is his crime? In DC, prostitution is a misdemeanor and you pay a fine, just like a speeding ticket. The Mann Act (interstate transport) is never used against johns, just pimps. "Structuring" and "money laundering" don't apply to hiding embarassing payments from your wife.

Skeptics are also asking what's behind the Spitzer investigation. Who tipped off the Feds? Was it a Spitzer-hating banker at Spitzer's own bank? Was Spitzer on an "enemies list" at the IRS? Why is the investigation being handled by the Public Integrity Section, which is at the center of the US Attorney scandal? Why was the investigation opened under the White-Slave Traffic Act of 1910?

And there are non-financial theories too. Linda Milazzo asks, Is Spitzer Being Targeted By The Anti-Abortion Right?

Isn't it odd that just when New York Governor Elliott Spitzer has introduced the RHAPP Bill -- the Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act -- which guarantees women the right to choose or refuse birth control and abortion, he is simultaneously the subject of a highly publicized sex sting that threatens to destroy his career and possibly send him to prison? ... Spitzer's RHAPP Bill is highly controversial and the blatant target of the Catholic Church and anti-abortion groups nationwide. These groups are relentless in their efforts to thwart a woman's right to choose.
