Here he comes to save the day!

Elliot Spitzer is one ambitious Attorney General. I have written about his adventures on this blog and in columns previously. But clearly, his habits are not only continuing, they are escalating.

Let's review.

Spitzer, as AG of NY, is an AG with a mission -- not necessarily with an eye only for justice, but his own campaign coffers. In an effort to avoid prosecution, investigation or to settle once in Spitzer's crosshairs, several companies are writing enormous checks to the State of New York. And Spitzer's campaign account for governor.

If there is one thing I can't stand, it is ambitious lawyers who abuse the justice system for their own gain. It twists the very purpose of the courts, gives a bad name to decent lawyers who really do love the law and makes the public even more cynical and suspicious of an institution that should be revered and protected.

So now Spitzer is investigating the payola in the music industry, rife with payola to play music since the beginning of time. Although the DJ's are no longer recipients of cash and gifts, the owners of radio networks are clearly reaping big benefits and Elliot is hot on the trail.

Here's the question.

Since the music industry has seemed a bit whiny lately about downloads, etc. and since liberals truly cannot stand folks who have made "more than their share of money", what effect will Eliot have on his base by going after the liberals in the music industry?
