Articles appearing in the Brainerd Dispatch on March 13 and 14, submitted by a New York AP service and detailing the sorry state of affairs surrounding the resignation of New York Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer, fail to identify him as a Democrat.
Never let it be said that media bias exists, but high level politicians belonging to other political parties who have been caught in unsavory situations are always labeled by their party affiliation, no matter how short the article or how trivial the offense. (Do the names Foley and Craig ring a bell?)
Not so with Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who also is a Democrat super delegate, and was elected to the New York governorship on the Democrat ticket.
Mr. Spitzer, as he is now being called, has a record of slash and burn public tactics that is coming back to haunt him. Since the press is ignoring the fact, I just thought it appropriate to point out that Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer, now among the worst examples of public failing, is a Democrat.
