If so, then Tom Reynolds, is apparently guilty of dereliction of duty. Unlike Kuhl, he's said nothing that's been picked up by the press:<BR/><BR/>http://news.google.com/news?q=tom+reynolds+spitzer<BR/><BR/>As anonymous said, some smarter Republican politicians are keeping the hell out of this, especially those with their own ethics problems. <BR/><BR/>Massa's actions speak louder than words, even though Massa's words are plain to me. Returning the money less than 24 hours after the scandal erupted is an unequivocal disassociation.<BR/><BR/>When spin begins to deny the basic humanity of the moment, then you begin to sound shrill. The basic human tragedy here is that Spitzer betrayed the good-faith trust of his political allies, as well as the trust of his family.Rottenchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05419735121148289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021181650842771170.post-26215271423311521112008-03-11T23:22:00.000-04:002008-03-11T23:22:00.000-04:00Anonymous: Congressman Kuhl, who is a representati...Anonymous: Congressman Kuhl, who is a representative from New York in the U.S. House, issuing a statement about our governor who has been accused of committing multiple felonies is not "piling on." It's his duty to issue such a statement to let his constituents know where he stands on this.<BR/><BR/>Rottenchester: Thanks for posting the full release. As I stated in my update, Massa did not state whether Spitzer should resign or not. Instead, he gave us an open-ended response. Frankly, given the support he gave to and received from Spitzer in '06, we should expect Massa to state in unequivocal terms whether he believes that Spitzer should resign or not.The Ontario Republicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971916682904252224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021181650842771170.post-10135177103175242662008-03-11T22:38:00.000-04:002008-03-11T22:38:00.000-04:00I updated that post with the rest of the press rel...I updated that post with the rest of the press release on my blog. As any reasonable person would expect, Massa repudiates Spitzer's behavior. <BR/><BR/>Also, I agree with Anonymous -- using Spitzer in a clumsy attempt to draw horns and a tail on Massa is probably counterproductive.Rottenchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05419735121148289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021181650842771170.post-84900010816081943672008-03-11T22:10:00.000-04:002008-03-11T22:10:00.000-04:00Get 'Re-Elect Client No. 9 For NY Governor', Eliot...<B><A HREF="http://client9.dirtyword.net" REL="nofollow">Get 'Re-Elect Client No. 9 For NY Governor', Eliot Spitzer's New Unofficial Re-election Campaign, Now on Yard Signs, Bumper Stickers, T-Shirts, Hats, Buttons, Mugs, Magnets, Mousepads, and More at: <I>http://client9.dirtyword.net</I></A></B>dirtyword.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363137643291973185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021181650842771170.post-83307988200088506002008-03-11T20:20:00.000-04:002008-03-11T20:20:00.000-04:00It would seem to me that the Republicans would be ...It would seem to me that the Republicans would be better served by just keeping quiet and watching the dems self destruct over this.
