    Hey Brian,

    News is happening. Why are you NOT on vacation?

    Don't know what your guest is talking about. Spitzer has had nothing but political crises since he became governor. He is a walking, talking disaster from day one.

    His wife has no spine. She should have tossed him out of the governor's mansion window. She is setting a bad example by just standing there. I am very disappointed in her.

    ok so now the "analysis" is going to be all about how his wife "looked"? Ugh

    First Governor to resign in disgrace, to bad he could have been the first Jewish president!

    It's called the First Amendment right to free speech.

    oh ok, enjoy

    guess i'm just not as judgemental

    what did jesus say about throwing stones

    but clearly she has a spine or she would not be walking around.

    Jesus has nothing to do with politics or marriage or npr.

    Religion is subjective and many do not believe in Jesus or hold his views as their own and one cannot impose a standard of a religion someone does not believe in on someone else.

    I am Jewish and do not believe in Jesus.

    believe ?

    i'm atheist, still wise advise.
