Are we to assume that the illegals would swell with pride and feel that their recognition by TFS would have Geico's phones ringing off the hook?<BR/><BR/>In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny:<BR/><BR/>"What a maroon!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-17012877252131094972007-11-16T21:43:00.000-05:002007-11-16T21:43:00.000-05:00This was a perfect cap to a near complete implosio...This was a perfect cap to a near complete implosion on Spitzer's part Middleclassguy.<BR/><BR/>The NYS Dems planned on taking back control of the State Senate, now that looks highly improbable, even against a near dormant NYS GOP.<BR/><BR/>His line in response to Bloomberg (another stalwart Liberal) was classic - <I>"factually wrong, legally wrong, morally wrong and ethically wrong,"</I>.....in fact, Eliot Spitzer was wrong and wrong on all counts, as Bloomberg's view, that the DHS would make NYS driver's licenses invalid ID even for domestic flights, etc.<BR/><BR/>I almost feel sorry for Spitzer....ALMOST.JMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281344324964417974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-11019138666021648912007-11-16T11:02:00.000-05:002007-11-16T11:02:00.000-05:00Elliot seemed to forget three things:1.)

Driving is not a right, as he should well know- he is an attorney. It is a privilege.<BR/><BR/>3.) The majority of people- those of us who do not protest or get our mugs on TV- are against illegal immigration.<BR/><BR/>He should take a memory course or some memory pills.Peter V.
