Spitzer Going for the Plantation Owner Vote?

I know politics makes for strange bedfellows, but I don't know that this approach will work in New York.

From Page Six of the NY Post:

STAFFERS at the engineering firm owned by Bernard Spitzer - the father of state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer - are accused of driving the office's lesbian receptionist positively batty.

Evelyn Quinones was fired from her job answering phones at Spitzer's Fifth Avenue firm last January. She has since filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging that four female staffers at Spitzer Engineering harassed her so badly, she suffered panic attacks and had to check into a psychiatric ward.

Now her girlfriend, legal aide Lisa Padilla, charges in a letter to PAGE SIX that Eliot Spitzer is unfit for office because his "campaigns and lifestyle have been financed by his father . . . Since the younger Mr. Spitzer is attempting to build support in the gay and lesbian community for his gubernatorial run, it is akin to an abolitonist[sic] running for office financed by slavers."

That tactic (supporting slavery) is at least 140 years out of date, Elliot, but if you are going to hold one set of views privately and project another when it comes to minority relations, then at least you're in the right party.

Of course this allegation against Spitzer's father has absolutely nothing to do with Spitzer himself, but it is amusing to watch the moonbats turn on each other.
