Spitzenfreude
« on: March 12, 2008, 10:22:30 AM »
From Michelle Malkin's hard working and sharp mind, I give the mother of all "Hat Tips".   :cheersmate:

She brings us "The Spitzer resignation countdown clock"
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/03/12/the-spitzer-resignation-countdown-clock/

Rapid fire updates are arriving minute by minute. Just click the link above. IMHO Eliot Spitzer could last at least another "24 business hours" but it's hard to tell.

For those who don't click on the link, I just want to note that the word "Spitzenfreunde" is the creation of one John Derbyshire as noted by Malkin herself though I do humbly wish I thought of it myself.  :( :p

Finally, though there is much more interesting info at the first link, I could not pass up the pic from the folks at Lone Star Times...

Yikes, the circus coverage today has the potential to actually make me feel sorry for the S.O.B.  :o

Unfortunately for us in NY, he still has NY State Police protection until his resignation is official.  (BTW--it's "unfortunate" only in that we still have to pay for it.)
