On CNN, he posed the question why was Spitzer targeted? That's exactly what I have been wondering the last two days. It's just too big of a coincidence that a scandal of this nature breaks during a critical election season. Is it possible the two are connected: the taking of the New York Governorship and the Democratic primary season -- or is that simply beyond the pale?

Keeping in mind the current controversy over the conviction and imprisonment of the Governor of Alabama, is anything today politically beyond the pale?

Granted, living inside the Beltway and observing politics for decades now has made me unquestionably suspicious of political coincidences. Granted, Elliot Spitzer has made many political enemies. Granted, Spitzer crusading on cleaning up corruption, first as Attorney General, and secondly, as Governor while patronizing prostitutes is clear hypocrisy, but he's not the first political hypocrite we have observed in office. Bill Clinton, for instance, experienced sexual scandal of an unprecedented Presidential nature but prevailed in retaining his office. Why is that beyond the reach of the Governor of New York?

Is the Governor of New York well positioned to manipulate the political machinery of the State during close political calls? Of course, but would Spitzer be so inclined? How can we know the answer to that question as we learn there are dimensions to the man that we would have never imagined in our wildest political dreams ....

And what about Bloomberg's recent reference to election irregularity in the recent New York primary? I was surprised Bloomberg would go so far as he did in his statement -- you might recall he used a different noun other than "irregularity" -- is that a random statement disconnected to current events?

I pose these questions because it seems just too coincidental, if Spitzer has been patronizing prostitutes for as long as possibly ten years, as reported earlier today by MSNBC, the FBI by mere happenstance aired his misconduct during this critical political moment. Possible, yes. Probable, I doubt it.

Further, Alan Derkowitz asked the question, who in violation of Federal law, leaked Grand Jury evidence to the press? That is a critical question -- who did it -- but just as importantly, why?

These are serious questions we must address, I believe, so I ask for your read on this. My best guess is that during the days to come, we will find there is a lot more to this story than currently appears on the surface. In that process, the timing of the taking of this Democratic Governorship at this critical juncture will, in that revelation, have an entirely different prism reflected.

Your response?
