“[NY Governor and former Attorney General] Spitzer denies any knowledge of what his closes aide was doing, which seems improbable. But hang on. Even [if] he didn’t know, isn’t this the same guy who wants corporate executives held criminally liable for the mistakes of their underlings, even if they had no knowledge of those mistakes? Isn’t this the guy who wanted to make not knowing about those mistakes a crime in and of itself?” –Radley Balko, on the current scandal NY Governor Eliot Spitzer is in
So I guess Bush can be held criminally liable for the perjury of Scooter Libby and Alberto Gonzalez.
I don’t agree that corporate executives should be held criminally liable for the mistakes of their underlings…Eliot Spitzer does. That’s the point.
Isn’t it always the most self-righteous ones who are the hardest to fall underneath their own hypocrisy? Rush Limbaugh and his rants about drug abusers, and now Eliot Spitzer. Let’s see if the Governor decides to hold himself to his own standards and admit guilt for the actions of his own underling’s misdeeds.
