Legislature? I Don't Need No Stinking Legislature!
Governor Eliot Spitzer stands ready to streamline New York's bureaucracy by governing without the legislature.
Contemptuous of the state's Republican-controlled Senate, the Democrat Spitzer says he favors regulatory changes and executive orders, which do not require prior approval from the legislature. He's been making political hay from the Senate's decision to go home at the end of their 6-month session, even though there are still more laws that could be passed.
Shouts Spitzer:
We will use the capacity of the executive branch to govern the state, whether or not the legislature joins us in this pursuit.
Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno noted that Spitzer, "ought to understand that we're not a third-world country where he is a dictator."
Not yet, anyway.
On a tip from Wiggins.

I love how every photo of him crops off the top of his head to hide his (rather unflattering) baldness.
Ah vanity, the mark of a true leader.

But, I thought that's what the Bushhitler was doing?

Maximum Leader? Try Dear Leader, like one of our favorite Asian heads of state.

Considreing that New York is the Gun Control Nuts' 2nd haven, he's unlikely to be pulled from office, tried and strung up by his bootheels by the enraged armed mob that would materialize in other states.
