Here’s the most pertinent point of the Soares report on Troopergate and shows former Gov. Spitzer’s deep role in the scandal, after saying he knew nothing about it.
Former Communications Director Darren “Dopp stated that he walked from Baum’s office to the Governor’s office and said to Spitzer, ‘boss, you’re okay with the release of the plane records?’”
“According to Dopp, the Governor replied ‘yeah, do it.’”
Still inquiring further, Dopp asked Spitzer “are you sure?”
Spitzer replied that he thought Dopp wanted to release the records.
Dopp said “Joe probably will be pissed.” To this, the Governor replied, in reference to Senator Bruno: “f—- him, he’s a piece of s—-t, shove it up his ass with a red hot poker.”
Dopp stated that during this conversation with the Governor, the Governor was “frustrated” and “angry” and “he was letting it rip against Mr. Bruno.”
Dopp also testified that the Governor had “turned a little red and . . . he was drinking a cup of coffee and . . . as he was saying it, he was like spitting a little bit. He was spitting mad.”
Dopp explained that, in an effort to try to defuse the Governor’s anger, in reference to the “shove it up his ass with a red hot poker” comment, Dopp jokingly inquired “sideways” boss?”
Dopp stated that no one else was present during this conversation.”

District attorney Sores, Spitzer and the Albany newspaper all played roles in this. Along with top members of Spitzer’s staff. For David Paterson to have any chance, all of Spitzer’s remaining staff should be replaced.
Never trust most Democrats or “wanne-be” liberals.
Dopp is a slime. And he worked for slimes.
Most New York State Democrats today are slimes. Think “Bill Ryan” or any of his ilk.
It’s like an Aristotelian syllogism.

“With a red-hot poker?” I think I remember this playground taunt from the second grade, which speaks to the RollingSteamPaver’s emotional and poetic age. Goes to show how some of these guys would shrivel up into insignificance if they didn’t carry around with them a passelof consultants, writers, and PR firms.
