Tell that to the Steamroller, the one-man anti-prostitution band.

NEW YORK -- New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer was unabashed on Wednesday about declaring himself a "steamroller" and the most accomplished governor in the history of the state after three weeks on the job.

"I am a fucking steamroller and I'll roll over you or anybody else," the Democratic governor told Republican Assemblyman James Tedisco in a private conversation last week, the New York Post reported on Wednesday.

"I've done more in three weeks than any governor has done in the history of the state," Spitzer also said, the Post reported.

Asked at a news conference if the comments were inappropriately boastful, Spitzer replied tersely, "No. Next question."

If this were a guy who had messed up and visited a prostitute since his wife was sick and he didn't want to Gingrich/McCain her, I'd feel a lot differently. But the guy's stance toward prostitution and subsequent use of call girls puts him on the same pedestal with Teddy Haggard, Bob Livingston and the rest of the family values hypocrites.

Oh, this guy is a douche to the 10th degree. I'm just voicing my opinion that prostitution is something the government has no right criminalizing.

Criminalization must be limited to those who provide illegal, organized vice for profit.

To reach further puts us all on a very slippery slope.

Even then, I have no sympathy for him. He's a powerful, rich man, and any governor has a target on his/her back -- a governor of his stature, Mr. Steamroller, is gonna have a lot bigger one.

Don't stick it where you shouldn't be, and this wouldn't be an issue.

Just to be clear.
You can indeed frame a guilty man, and Spitzer was an arrogant hypocrite straight out of Sinclair Lewis or Dickens.
But, holy hell, the federal case against him now reeks.
