Well, I'm not going to fall into the trap of quoting myself again. We won't get anywhere with that.
I think that Spitzer falls outside of this "cloud" based on who he is, what he's done in the past and what he did to draw attention to himself in the first place.
Spitzer was arguably the second highest profile governor in the country behind Schwartzenager last week. He moved money around in a way designed to hide it. The banks, by law, were required to report it. The FBI, again by law, was required to investigate it. It turns out he was actually doing something illegal, just not what they thought.
Is the White House happy this happened? There's no way that I could argue that they aren't with a straight face. Does that mean that they went out and set him up? Not at all. The guy knew what he was doing and pursued it full force. It was an illegal act, and he knew it.
Explain to me exactly where the vast right wing conspiracy is in this one again.
