Spitzer Makes Nixon Look Sane

Eliot Spitzer evidently had some serious scores to settle and he started right after taking office by going hard after Republican leader Joe Bruno. He is paying for his vengeance-seeking big time now:

November 12, 2007 -- Gov. Spitzer's former communications director, Darren Dopp, asked another Spitzer aide to lie about the origins of the Dirty Tricks Scandal - including the governor's own allegedly extensive knowledge of the plot to smear the Senate's GOP leader, a well-placed source told The Post yesterday.

Dopp wanted now-demoted Spitzer homeland-security aide William Howard to join him in denying there was anything unusual in their months-long effort to use the State Police to gather evidence purporting to show Majority Leader Joseph Bruno (R-Rensselaer) misused state aircraft for political purposes, said the source, who knows many of those involved in the scandal.

It's not the initial deed, it's always the cover up and it appears that Spitzer knew full-well what was happening and allowed his staff to lie about his knowledge. It will be interesting to see if Andrew Cuomo will have the huevos to actually pursue charges of perjury or expand the investigation out. My sense is no but with Fred Dicker on the story, it isn't going away anytime soon.

Spitzer is hurting Hillary in New York with this issue and with regard to the drivers licenses for illegals--nationally. How soon until the DNC starts leaning on Spitzer to make this go away any way he can?
