Think you are having a bad week? Republican candidate for Filling Elliot Spitzer's Shoes, Jeanine Pirro, has probably had a worse one.  Why?  Well, normally we don't have high ethical standards for our politicians - however, those running for Attorney General might be expected to score higher marks in that department.  And Pirro is under state AND federal criminal investigation.  The worst part?  She got caught because she was asking Bernie Kerik (our former NYC police commish and Republican thug) to bug her husband's boat (to catch him cheating) - and she asked this of Bernie while he was under investigation, and thus there is a handy little audio recording of their conversations.  Best part?  Rudy Giuliani's firm was called in to help plant the illegal bug.  Oh, her husband is a convicted criminal and notorious womanizer. 

Poor Jeanine.  It's sad, but amazing that she would subject herself to this for really no reason: she is running against Andrew Cuomo, whose famous name and party affiliation almost guarantee he will win.  Not to mention the top of the ticket landslides for Spitzer and H. Clinton will destroy NY Republicans everywhere.
