Man, that line "He wasn't cheating. He was having alternative sex." Just cracks me up.

Okay, that phone notification at 3:36 was brilliant.

Bill, you need to follow up on this. Seriously, you were absolutely right. I was a fan of Spitzer's from his show Viewpoint. He is a passionate, opinionated, pro-American democracy proponent and fighter against Wall Street's exploitation of the middle & working class, the likes of which exists almost nowhere else within our current political landscape.

[@roxaskinghearts]

Democrats need to get trump for our president i mean is he blind we are the party of fun and freedom o right liberals knock it off he be perfect and democrats could be the party of quality its sad a child could be the democratic president he just has to realize sex isnt as bad as discrimination aginst the poor

When you run on a platform where EVERYONE is the boss, chaos is sure to follow.

So sorry, Bill, but you don't beat the bad guys by becoming a bad guy.

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster . . . when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you" Actually he wrote, ” Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird.

Gave this the ol' thumbs up. Some very good points made. The Republicans have talked a good game about "traditional family values," but now that we see that they don't really give a damn maybe Democrats can stop trying to purge themselves of anyone who isn't a sexual saint. "Hey we, we can be moralist whiners too!" My problem with Spitzer isn't that he was with a hooker; my problem with Spitzer is that he was one of the most loudly anti-hooker politicians out there, obsessed with "cleaning up" and ruining the lives of working girls... and he was with a hooker. Hypocrite anybody? The whole "alpha male" thing was originally coined to describe the behavior of wolves, not human beings. It turns out that it isn't even accurate when applied to wolves. The whole "he's an alpha! HOO-YA!" thing is bullshit. Make that wolfshit. You know who else was very good at projecting a macho image? No, not Hitler. Mussolini.

How about the thing where I pointed out that "alpha male" was originally meant to describe the behaviors of wolves, not human beings?
