State Republicans threatened on Tuesday to impeach New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer if he does not quit over a sex scandal that has raised questions over whether he could face criminal charges.
The threat added to pressure on Spitzer, a Democrat and former state chief prosecutor who made his name fighting white-collar crime on Wall Street, to step down after a report that he hired a high-priced prostitute.
Oh, for the love of god. Look, I hold no brief whatsoever for Eliot Spitzer. From what I can tell, he seems to be a bit of a hypocrite, and I don't like those any better in my own party than I do in the opposition. But really, I don't care that much about him either way.
It's just...completely screw up a nation's foreign policy. Be directly responsible for the needless deaths of thousands of servicepeople. None of that makes you impeachable. Have sexual relations with a woman not your wife, though, boy, and watch out!
Priorities.
Did I mention that I don't like hypocrites?
