Elliot Spitzer destroying John Yoo on Cnn.
Is anyone else watching? I'm LOL'ing here. Spitzer - "the most ridiculed legal opinion in many years, that I am aware of" regarding the torture memos.

1. It's a shame he couldn't keep it in his pants. I'd have loved to see him in the White House.

4. Compared to some the sexual escapades of neWt and some of the others, Spitzer is tame.

13. Hey, I'm the last person on earth
to excuse a cheater. For anything. My ex cheated on me and left me with 4 kids. I think cheaters are scum. But someone can be scum and still give a kick ass interview. John Yoo was threatening to never come on the program again (on air, what class!). LMFAO!

16. I admired his wife, she is an exceptionally strong woman and
Edited on Thu May-05-11 08:45 PM by sabrina 1
would not have been there if SHE didn't want to be. I would have done the same thing, because she no doubt knew that he had been targeted, and we do not know what she knew about her husband's visits to prostitutes. She may even have condoned it. What goes on between a married couple is nobody's business and they have no way of knowing anything about the dynamics of the relationship.

He has a wonderful, strong, intelligent wife who clearly loves and respects him. I trust her judgement and wish every woman had her strength of character and his.

12. it never bothered me that he did it with a hooker.
What bothered me was that the same time he did it with a hooker, he was prosecuting johns for doing it with hookers. Hypocrisy I can't stand.

2. You aren't saying that Spitzer is "the most ridiculed legal opinion"?
Right?

That's what Spitzer said about Yoo. Among other insults.

14. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed this immensely. Imo, Spitzer is the
only decent guy on CNN. He speaks out loud about Geithner, but tonight with Yoo,
he was excellent. I mean come on, we're talking MSM here.

Eliot is a highly intelligent man, I don't agree with all his political views, yet
for the most part he does as great a job as one will see on CNN.


The transcript is not available yet, but should be posted when it's ready.



K&R.
