    We are looking at a True American Hero who will soon be back, bigger and bolder than ever…

    Let’s face it, who else would sacrifice his job, his future and his family in order to expose another vial criminal element in his fair state. My hat is off to this man and I can’t wait until his triumphant return — as Hillary’s Vice Presidential running mate.

    How in the world are people on an insurance forum praising this clown? Forget that he got caught with his pants down. This is a man that tried to ruin the insurance industry and our way of life. His attacks weren’t just against the Greenberg’s they were against the entire industry. Because of him many companies no longer pay contingent commissions anymore. There is nothing illegal about contingent commissions. Many industries do it. If two agencies have a contract with company x and one agent has a lot more business with company x, why shouldn’t they receive more commission? Bye Bye Spitzer! I can’t say that anyone in the insurance industry will miss you. I can only hope that this has brought at least of ounce of joy to the Greenberg’s after the hell that Spitzer put them through.

    How in the world can any one actually spin this to make him a hero? He didn’t order a call girl to bring them down. He ordered the girl because he is a sleaze ball who thought he was above the law and invincible. Good buy Elliot you slimy, holier than thou piece of garbage.

    Sorry folks, I guess my satire wasn’t very good…

    But trust me, while it was just satire on my part somebody out there is going to make him out to the hero or victim in this.

    Dave, the media already has. Someone said that if this would have happened in Europe it barely would have been a story. Well guess what, this isn’t Europe. The man is morally and ethically bankrupt. He is married with three children.

    The media crucified Mark Foley over emails to a congressional page. Larry Craig got hammered for his bathroom incident. Somehow what Spitzer did isn’t a big deal.

    I am just glad that he got exposed for the slime ball he really is. This is a man that tried to ruin the Greenberg’s and the entire insurance industry. Hank Greenberg was never indicted on anything yet Spitzer tried to ruin the man and our way of life as agents.

    No,this is proof that when you are as arrogant as Spitzer or the Clinton’s reality kicks in. Here is a former Attorney General who knew the ropes (or at least should have known) concerning the feds ability to track money due to terrorism. NY is front and center in the world of terrorism. He goes and wires money to off shore accounts and now the feds are thinking he’s being bribed or extorted. But good ole Elliot is above the law. Well it bit him and bit him good.
    So Elliot good bye, syanara, adios, ciao, please let the door hit you on the way out, you putz.

    Thanks and love to you George.
    This is personal to me, since I was personally named in a suit for Steering, Price Fixing and Excess Contingency fees, in addition to charging a fee and collecting a commission (which was never done and illegal in my state). So if you don’t like the comments then stick it!

    I keep hearing the Clinton comparison and here is what I don’t get: President Clinton’s actions,while reprehensible and immoral,were not illegal. Mr. Spitzer’s, on the other hand, were. You can argue that others do what Spitzer did, but others weren’t the former AG and current Governor sworn to uphold the laws of the State.
