Early in his inaugural address, Gov. Eliot Spitzer said:
"I want to thank Governor Pataki for joining in this time-honored tradition as the reins of state government pass from his careful stewardship... We are honored by the presence of... my colleagues in state government, Speaker Shelly Silver and Senator Joe Bruno and the members of their respective chambers."
Later in the address, Spitzer said:
"Like Rip Van Winkle... New York has slept through much of the past decade while the rest of the world has passed us by... Some public officials may not want to face stricter ethics rules and more competitive elections, but all citizens will win when we finally get a government that puts the people’s interests, openness and integrity first."

Why are there now TWO blog posts merely pulling quotes out of Spitzer's speech? I guess this is something that can be done at home from admin's barcalounger. Oy.
