Burning Atlanta

I'm so glad somebody of note is on Spitzer's ass. Spitzer has gone into damage control mode and is trying to save face. He's incapable of admitting what is so obvious: he's wrong and he knows it. Now, he's proposing a license for illegals if they have a valid passport. Many illegals don't have a valid anything. Some consulates, in an effort to aid and abet their nationals, will, no doubt, be issuing the hell out of passports to anybody that shows up and asks for one.  To me, the funniest part is hearing illegals and their supporters whining because Spitzer has modified his original position.

I'm so sick to death of the worn out mantras of the ankle-grabbers, "Bring them out of the shadows..." They're not in the shadows, they're everywhere. And they should be"brought out" of this country and sent back from whence they came.

Dobbs

Dobbs has made Spitzer an almost daily target over his recent plan to ease restrictions on illegal immigrants seeking New York state driver's licenses, mixing vitriol with sarcasm while endlessly lambasting the governor's decision.

The lifelong Republican has taken on politicians of every stripe, as when he blasted the Bush administration over port security. But his nightly diatribe against Spitzer is notable for its intensity, and for elevating a state proposal onto the national stage. Humm, I thought Dobb's was an "old school" democrat??

"What he's doing is an outrageous, arrogant abuse of power," Dobbs said in an interview before a recent show. "He's pandering to a constituency aligned directly against the interests of U.S. and New York state citizens."

"Mr. Dobbs has clearly demonstrated that he is not interested in a real debate on New York's driver's license policy change," said Jennifer Givner, a Spitzer spokeswoman. "He has repeatedly refused to offer balanced coverage of the issue."  Bullshit. As I recall, Dobbs has repeatidly offered Spitzer a chance to appear and that candy-ass won't do it.

On Saturday, Spitzer cut a deal with the Bush administration that would still allow the state to issue licenses to illegal immigrants _ although the agreement required that their licenses would be clearly marked to indicate they are not valid federal ID. Deal, my ass. The fed didn't relax any requirements on licenses to be used for federal purposes. And any state can issue licenses to illegals if they wish, they're just not valid for anything else except illegals driving in that state, as far as I'm aware.
