This gets more nuts by the day. Given Spitzer's past, I have to believe he hasn't done anything illegal. And I think the GOP knows that........so are they attacking just for the sake of attacking? I know you've said Spitzer antagonized people but to the point where people are acting this crazy? New York Republicans Fire Adviser Over Spitzer Call Allegations By Michael Quint Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The New York Republican Party fired political consultant Roger Stone amid allegations that he made a threatening, profanity-laced telephone call to Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer's father. Such accusations ``can only serve as a distraction'' from the inquiries into Republican allegations that state police resources were misused by the Spitzer administration, Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno said in a statement announcing Stone's resignation ``at our request.'' Stone was accused by lawyers representing Spitzer's 83-year- old father, Bernard Spitzer, of threatening him with a government inquiry regarding loans to his son's 1994 election campaign, the New York Times reported. Investigators hired by Bernard Spitzer traced the anonymous call to a phone controlled by Stone, the Times said. Stone, in a message on his Web site, denied he made the call and said he could be a victim of dirty tricks. ``The same Spitzer operatives who were caught red-handed trying to set Senator Bruno up are now trying to set me up because they have deemed that I have been an effective advisor to Senator Bruno and the Republican Senate Campaign Committee,'' Stone said. The state Ethics Commission and Albany County District Attorney David Soares are investigating Spitzer's office. Their inquiries follow a report by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo that found aides to Spitzer acted improperly, though not illegally, in compiling police records on Bruno's use of state aircraft so they could plant negative news stories about him. Two of Spitzer's aides declined to testify, leading Bruno, the state's most powerful Republican, to say more investigation is needed. Spitzer has denied knowledge of his aides' actions. Cuomo's report also said Bruno's use of state aircraft on trips to New York City that included fundraising and state business didn't break rules existing at that time. Stone said on his web site that the phone call could have been fabricated, and that his apartment isn't secure because it's in a building owned by a Spitzer supporter. Spitzer couldn't be reached immediately for comment. To contact the reporter on this story: Michael Quint in Albany, New York, at mquint@bloomberg.net . bloomberg.com
