Anyone surpised by this -- if they exist -- should not be. He showed many early signs of an affinity for selling one's body. In his case, he was the prostitute, leasing his mouth to Israel. For example, last Novemeber, he issued a statement commemorating the 60th anniversary of the UN partition plan that essentially has caused 60 years of conflict:<blockquote>Sixty years ago today the United Nations General Assembly approved UN Resolution 181, the first step in transforming what was then British-controlled Palestine into a Jewish homeland – Israel. <br /><br />Today, New York is home to the largest Jewish population in the United States, and all New Yorkers benefit from our diversity and our relationships with Israel –culturally, spiritually and economically. This anniversary marks the start of a milestone year for the state of Israel, and I am proud to serve as the Governor of New York while we celebrate six decades since Israel’s founding. <br /><br />I look forward to celebrating the coming year with our active Jewish community.</blockquote><span id="fullpost">Man, he'll do anything for campaign contributions. No, I know he probably sincerely believes this, but still, you cannot deny the tone of pandering running through this. Politicians pander for a living so I cannot be too surprised. It is legal prostitution.<br /><br />Politicians also never say what they mean. By "all New Yorkers," he meant Jewish New Yorkers who love Israel. <br /><br />None of the Arabs in New York I know benefited (on the contrary!). The Palestinian refugees in Bayside sure as hell got the worst of it. <br /><br />As for the last line, by "our active Jewish community," he meant "my high-priced hooker." <br /><br />That's all in the past now. Spitzer's eating Shitzer.</span>Willhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04776960696689767044noreply@blogger.com
