Girlieman: Governor Eliot Spitzer
Antics: Playing the blame game

In the waning days of September, New York Governor, Eliot Spitzer, stepped in it when he strayed into well-charted, shark-infested, driver's licenses for border jumpers waters. From the instant he unveiled his scheme to give this essential form of identification to border jumpers, this pathetic piece of political crap got hammered by the public and members of both political clans. He endured the unrelenting pounding as long as he could, but when the polling results showed him sitting at a lowly 25% approval rating, he went girlie and furtive.

A few weeks ago, unwilling to completely abandon his border jumper coddling, Spitzer scuttled his September plan and came up with something much more insane. It was a three-tiered driver's license monstrosity that had one license for American citizens, another for legal (green card, etc.) immigrants and a third for border jumpers. That, he assumed, would be hailed as a Solomon-class solution. Did everyone start building shrines to his glorious wisdom? Not exactly.

The wheels started coming off the licenses for border jumpers bus after Comrade Hillary signaled her support in response to intense questioning by Tim Russert at a Demoncrat candidate debate. When, within minutes, Hillary started getting the same pounding that Spitzer was getting, the license's for border jumpers fat was in the fire, big damn time. In the days that followed, while Comrade Hillary spouted contradictory views on the issue, Spitzer started to 'get it'. We can't be sure if Comrade Hillary and her Clintonista minions assisted Spitzer in seeing the error of his ways, but that's one of the popular explanations.

This week, for whatever reason - the untimely demise of his political career topping the list - Spitzer finally announced that he was dumping the whole driver's licenses for border jumpers idea like a bad habit. Unable to accept any blame for this steaming load of border jumper coddling crap, Spitzer reeled off a laundry list of culprits. Topping the list was Uncle Sam and the Elected Tormentors on Capitol Hill who couldn't ram through comprehensive immigration reform. Spitzer also blames "we the people", xenophobes that we are, who support the insane idea that immigrants should enter America through the front door. Why, he caterwauls, do proud American citizens go postal when some Elected Tormentor piece of crap paints a bull's-eye on American sovereignty?

For being a gutless scumbag who can't admit that he made a mistake...for putting his own political career and Comrade Hillary's bid for the Oval Office ahead of what's good for his state's legal denizens...for blaming everyone else for his mistake...for being so gutless he makes Jimmy Carter seem like a tower of strength...for all these reasons and many more, New York's sorry excuse for a governor, Eliot Spitzer, is the Politically Incorrect Gazette's Girlieman of the Week.

[Hambo note: Spitzer was on the fast track to a Steaming Load Award, until he went weasel at the end. I always knew he'd blame anyone and everyone but himself. He locked up Girlieman of the Week, when he scurried off to D.C. where he announced that he was dropping this driver's licenses for border jumpers bull crap. That reeked of girlieman, so here he is, a steaming load who earned Girlieman of the Week.]
