Azi at the Observer highlighted this interesting "Don't Tread on Us" from the flack world. Now we're really getting far into the capillaries of this thing.
As announced, Sen. George Winner, who was no grinner at his investigation committee meeting-hearing-conclave-gathering the other day, is warning the governor not to delete any e-mails. That was the pack story of the day.
But now the question of what Spitzer knew, and when, has begun to morph into: What have Bruno's people heard and when will they prove it?
It may be as weird seeing the Senate GOP try to finger-point its way out of a paper bag as it is seeing Spitzer try to fend off someone else's plausible suspicions. Maybe like watching Bonds pitch to Clemens? Or Todd Ziele pitching to Farnsworth? Or neither of the above?

Newsday the NY Times and every other left wing paper can spin all they want about Spitzer and Bruno. It's not going to change the facts that the liberal governor literally tried to turn the state into his own personal police state.
No Spin,
What do you know that the AG, DA, Ethics Committee, and, for that matter, the Senate Republicans, don't?
If you bothered to look at all of the evidence so far, there is no proof of the gov.'s direct involvement in this.
This was a disturbing situation, and heads should roll. The Ethics committee and possibly the Albany county DA will make sure of that.
But the Senate Republicans, in their zeel for finding anything that would divert attention from their abysmal ethical, moral, and legislative records, have lost whatever credibility they had in their attempts to keep this mess in the news.
I would say that they have also lost the moral high ground, but they never had it.
