eliot spitzer was on morning joe he was being interviewed by mark halperin
and men did halperin go after him
i have a lot to say about this clip
now and you're listening
ask yourself if you think this line of questioning is legitimate or not
and we have a lot of the public what's going on
sony cast in the beginning how people can be confident so there won't be
repeated behavior before you said you reflected to speak a little bit more
about that what does that mean that with what is what you've done in the last
five years how does that convince people anniversary show people that won't
happen again
thing to do things the pattern small and quiet way but that doesn't persuade
people that recurrence but i've also brought people together and recognize
that i would need to answer these questions are the types of over the pain
of cost
caused politically if he wins
you will not really a page you pay some price i think he will not have had your
public career ended soviet wouldn't wouldn't that
to some extent reinforce the notion that you could do what you wanted to do
well not quite sure related and i think that there has been a substantial price
to be paid and i'll let others determined a small adequate are
inadequate but
resolved ownership
than dealing with the aftermath of that deal with everything that is flowed from
it
as a place for friday anything's people of elective office high office went
under a new york to do
that involve law-breaking like the public that you would consider as a
voter disqualified were nothing's disqualified if a person comes back and
says look what i've done for the last five years look at my great ideas are
there things that are just felt like i said i'm not sure that i mean i don't
think that would be this but i think there is a difference between
private public lives in my mother want to begin to articulate this distinction
at this point
because i'm i mean
uniquely deposition to try to articulate but i think there is a divide their of
their is something we do want to take about a certain point in point but line
as the governor of new york
property and i just thought about about what i think near we all know the
politicians december walden pond that negotiations what
on substantive issues that public resources as well
you did it because it's a question of where when how and what the issue
but i think there's slightly greater subtlety to this in terms of the art of
both governments and
can determine whether what people don't so four point lead one more service via
an elected official government or comptroller of new york
lying about his or her personal life when asked about it had been in a public
i think that's fine
americans it's fine because it was disqualified but i think that the again
i think they were going on your packet where it requires more time to a car so
what's out there were two years between the private republican organisms to swap
on people
wild about
cliff taxes not having paid their taxes and all the rest but i think that is
swamping you like the illegal activity
or i i i write about
personal sexual activity yes development education went like that
consentual affair you relied at uni elected
you're but you're saying that lying about illegal activity to you is not
that this is what i will let the public neglected
i won't suprise mark halpern use man
politicians lie
he's like aulamagna
narrower
yall all politicians lie
welk i'm not here to make excuses for eliot spitzer
lady did was talk about his sex life
that's it the entire thing was his sex life
i wanna answer one of the questions that halpern s there
he said is there any lie that would make it so somebody can't get elected
yeah they're actually are some lies
you know what the worst lie is to me when a politician says to the american
people or to their constituents
heya on look out for you
i care about the middle class i care about the poor i care about all of you
and then they turn around and they only legislate
in favor
of the people who fund and their campaigns
so the rich in the corporations and the well-to-do and they completely behind
their constituents and the american people
that is worse
any live
eliot spitzer ever told
and
i'm all in favor of top interviews
but they have to be fair
now that was unfair that was a hack job
do you remember them doing this
with newt gingrich for example a member of newt gingrich cheated on his wife
when she had cancer on her death bed
any laughter
did he have to go one morning joe and talk to mark al brennan
bookmark alburn grilled them with these questions do you remember
them doing this to mark sanford
use public dollars too
his plane to visit his origin tenia mistress
to bang her
in the middle of his term when nobody knew where he went
did they talk to him about that now
did they talk today to dinner
member david better he got a call with prostitutes he never even stepped down
any pulled but shack he told them
yet tell me on my estate on a run around and went
never had to apologize
never had to go on morning joe into a mea culpa
scott dangerous cos arlene just won re-election
here's a guy
who voted pro-life consistently voted for the drug more consistently he was
caught smoking weed he was caught but giving prescriptions to his mistress is
just so they could get height
had his wife getting abortion and also had
won his mistress is getting abortion as well
we just have to bring the world
un tremendous number of scandals
way worse than spencer he had to come on morning joan answer any of these
questions
now they didn't go after them
because
the republicans and those are all republicans who got a pass but spencer
doesn't get pass he's a democrat
that the republicans gonna pass because they're such a goof balls and the pop up
so often that if the media reported honestly on the republicans it would
appear as if the media has a bias
now wouldn't be a bias
because those things are facts but it would appear like it's a bias because
they'd be piling on
but since the democrats born as ridiculous as often
whatever there's the opportunity to go after a democrat like spacer for sex
scandal big house
they powers and they hammered home
and then they look to fox news in the right wingers may go c we don't have a a
liberal bias we just went after
but at least answer on fairly
below there's another more important reason
but they did what they did in this interview
they're trying to minimize
and discredit
eliot spitzer
there were no policy questions there no questions about hey you know what
substantive direction
but would you go west comptroller
that how would you look out for the american people so on and so forth how
would you whatever the people in new york
it was all salacious
celebrity level
gossip nonsense
wide because wall street isn't deathly afraid of him the establishment is
deathly afraid of him
and they'll stop at nothing phil crank up the problem propaganda machine as
high as it goes
to try to get eliot spitzer
down-and-out
now expect a lot more
hack job interviews
coming in the future
