Eliot Spitzer refutes allegations that his ego has grown bigger than Rockland County
Chavez, Castro: Been there, done that.
Street Person: It was cool to watch the cops roughing up the suits, but since then my business has also gone down. One dime in five hours from a f***g Union guy! The CEOs used to throw me five-dollar bills every ten minutes. Bring back the f***g trickle-down economy, man!
Spitzer for Governor 2006!
In the circle of friends Spitzer prefers to slip into something more comfortable
Within only a few minutes hundreds of white-collared CEOs were dragged through gold-encrusted corporate lobbies into the streets and hoarded into waiting police vans, to much of the excitement of local panhandlers.
Caught red-handed, they didn't even deny their dubious activities, such as, speaking over the intercoms, using calculators, and running complex profit-generating software. Now they pathetically hung on to their briefcases, cell phones, and crumpled Wall Street Journal pages, jeered by nearby crowds of idle Union workers who happened to be in the area with a giant inflatable rat, to picket a building management company that refused to pay $100/hr wages to garbage collectors.
"It will save time and a lot of taxpayers' money if Attorney General simply rounds up every suit on Wall Street instead of spending tedious legal man-hours firing off subpoenas," agrees Spitzer's political campaign manager. "This show of fiscal responsibility can benefit Mr. Spitzer's run for Governor in November."
Escape From New York: Wall Street CEOs land on New Jersey shore
We're in the middle of a class war, comrades!"We must clean our streets from the rich corporate scum that's been infesting them. Nobody earning over a hundred thousand a year is innocent. Let's all work together to make our city safe again for the homeless to frolic without the fear of being offended by tactless display of prosperity," he finished to a standing ovation from an audience of mainstream media reporters.
Some retrogrades would call Spitzer an "extortionist" who threatens a corporation with a phony lawsuit that would cost them millions in legal fees and damage control. They "appease the beast" with a settlement hoping he would go away.
But every corporate payoff makes the beast stronger and his appetite bigger. He then threatens their neighbor, and then the next neighbor - until the entire block on Wall Street is paying ransom, and then the next block, and so on. He learned it from the Unions who in their turn learned it from the Sicilian Mafia. If this continues, many New Yorkers fear they may have to vote for Spitzer in November just to "appease the beast."
