Everyone is right about Spitzer, of course, and I single out Bill's insightful comments about "derivative crimes." In addition, the seizure of private text messages and emails is especially disturbing to me. However, this ruthless slimebucket - Spitzer - has only become a victim of the totalitarian system that he worked so hard to enable and grow. This bastard doesn't deserve a single tear (let alone a libertarian defense), and in fact, it'll be justice when he faces the same kind of politically-ambitious totalitarian torment that he has administered to numerous individuals, entrepreneurs, and successful businesses. He has destroyed umpteen lives and business ventures in order to fulfill his ambition to ascend to the ranks of the dictatorial, ruling elite. May he join Nifong in the nether world of payback and ruination.
