Former Gov. Don Siegelman of Alabama and Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York.
What do these two have in common beyond the obvious?
This ties way back to the Patriot Act, which Democrats were falling all over themselves to pass. The Patriot Act gave unprecedented eavesdropping and spying ability to the Federal government. At the time, one could recall Dubya and his administration assuring the country that these abilities will be only used on the "terrorists."
Well, the chickens have come to roost (thanks to Rev. Wright) on the weak-ass Dems who bent over and took the stick up their collective keister. It turns out, they indeed shot themselves in the foot, causing the party two governor seats.
Ironically enough, and in a shocking development, the administration didn't just spy on the "terrorists" or the "evil-doers." They used these rules to catch Spitzer with his high-priced hookers, and they helped lay the largely fraudulent case against Siegelman. Those eavesdropping abilities the Dems bent over for, directly caused two Democrat governors their positions, one of which was clearly a political hack-job and is currently in the process of being unraveled.
This again shows the politicalization of the Department of Justice, and perhaps the sticky, sticky, illegal fingers of one Karl Rove.
This is why Democrats need to grow some and keep them. The one thing that annoys all Democrats about their party.
