NEW YORK (1010 WINS / WCBS 880 / CBS 2) — Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer said he will back Democrat Andrew Cuomo come November, but it sure didn’t sound like much of an endorsement.

“Everybody knows that behind the scenes that he’s the dirtiest, nastiest political player out there,” Spitzer said of Cuomo Thursday.

Al Jones of 1010 WINS reports Spitzer, in his new role as CNN commentator, also said the Cuomo will likely face a stiff challenge from Republican Carl Paladino. The tea party candidate also appeared on the news network Thursday, and accused Cuomo of playing dirty.

“He’s sent out in the past week and a half every surrogate he could from the cesspool of Albany and from the cesspool of city government in Buffalo,” Paladino said.

Spitzer predicted the attorney general will carry the city and his opponent upstate.

“The suburban ring and the independent voters will determine the outcome of this race,” Spitzer said.

In a recent poll, Paladino had pulled within 6 points of Cuomo in what is traditionally a blue state.

Cuomo’s campaign said his record, credibility and honor speak for themselves, then added: “As do Mr. Spitzer’s.”

Spitzer, who resigned in 2008 amid a prostitution scandal, has said he’ll support Cuomo for governor, although they’ve had conflicts.

Thats just what NY needs, more DIRT http://www.kriegsview.com to see unemployment facts that are alarming.

Cuomo and his party are deconstructionists/de-industrializationists. He and his party have been taxing and spending NY into Oblivion for greater than 40 years. Paladino is a constructionist who has built a highly successful multi-million dollar business. In order to build some times you must first get out the wrecking ball. Carl has the wrecking ball out and it’s swinging.

Paul B that about sums it up as clearly as possible. I agree!

of course hes nasty and dirty he learned from his wacko father

Not only did Cuomo put Freddie Mae/Mac on steroids, but he “lost” a couple billion running HUD. Whose pockets did those billions line? A vote for Cuomo is a vote to finally sink this state for good.

Nobody ever lost a job because Spitzer visited a call girl. Didn’t hurt the ecomomy one iota.

Really? Nobody hurt from a guy who spent his career prosecuting and imprisoning people who were involved in an activity he was patronizing?

No, Sandra Lee, the Food Network TV personality is doing that.

That rainy November day in 2003 when I crossed the GWB for the last time and drove west until there was no more land before me was one of the best days of my life.

John C. Randolph

You got to the west coast in a day? What were you driving? Is it street legal?

Spitzer’s ability to send mixed messages is getting to be legendary. The law-and-order voters were confused. His wife is confused. What will the gutless Cuomo say about being the dirtiest NY hack alive?
Chris

If this crook gets elected I’m taking my soon to be sprouting engineering firm out of the capital district and out of the state. I need to see some serious changes to convince me to plant roots here. It would be painful to leave the state I grew up in and love, but I worry the corruption is far beyond control.

I’ll take my business and new jobs elsewhere…thanks

Please stay there. People that come from such places are toxic to the rest of the country.

Cuomo is bad news, but then Spitzer is no prize. It’s telltale that the former Sheriff of Wall Street seems to relish kicking Cuomo while he’s down.

By the way, am I the only one who has ever wondered what Spitzer was doing while Madoff was ripping people off? It’s hard to imagine that questions about Madoff were never referred to the Sheriff of Wall Street. I’ll bet that all the losses that occurred as a result of the late trading activity that Spitzer prosecuted when combined don’t begin to approach $50 Billion.

New York’s people are crazy if they elect Cuomo the Snake. They will reap what they sow, if they even care about dirty governance. Shame on the human race.

What’s the world coming to?? Not only this, but you can’t even get a nice girl up to your hotel for the night for a couple thousand bucks anymore.

Ellen O’Day

But Spitzer was going after people who used prostitutes at the time he was caught.

Sit down and think carefully about this: he was attacking people for doing what he was doing. C’mon, it’ll come to you. You’ll see the inconsistency there. You’ll get it in time.

Lori

Remember when President Bush stood on top of that pile of rubble, with construction workers and firefighters and police officers, telling the entire world that “Everyone will hear us real soon?!” Well, I can visually see Paladino standing in front of the site of mosque, with hundreds of construction workers who won’t work there, and firefighters and police officers who lost hundreds of their colleagues, and family members who lost their loved ones, telling the whole world that only over his dead body will any bulldozer start clearing that land for a mosque. And that, my fellow Americans, is what NY needs, and what America needs right now.
Bubba

what, wearing his socks?
bobalou

Let us be reminded that Cuomos is pro-abortion like his father. Pro-life voters should dot the right thing and vote for Carl Paladino who incidently honorably served in the Army as a Captain.

JohnB

So? Im democrat and pro-choice. I’m still voting for Paladino. Did you really think you can have a candidate that will be in favor of absolutely everything you believe in?

RobbieK

Anyone who votes for this crook Cuomo who caused the sub-prime mortgage meltdown is not an American!
Ck

If someone manages to lose to Carl “I have no problems spreading racism and horse porn” Paladino, this country is irredeemable.
StandUpForChuck

Absolutely right. “Evil eyes” Cuomo was one of the architects behind the subprime mortgage scheme under Clinton. He, along with Barney Frank and others, are among those directly responsible for the 2008 economic collapse.

Elliot

If New York elects this twerp then New York deserves to be more impoverished then it already is.

Wow! This coming from the King of Dirty and Nasty!
nathan

You dont have to wonder why DanTe. Its because you bring absolutely nothing to the table.

DanTe

Oh goodie. And here I thought your bosses at CBS stopped you from posting because it’s just so embarrassing to see the rambling lunacies.

So I guess, being a nice fascist libturd that you are, you’re back to censoring any facts that disagrees with your version of reality. Freedom Of Speech only applies if they agree with you, right? Typical two-faced libturds. No wonder you support Cuomo.

And since it obviously annoys you, here it is again. And being a free country (not a CBS dictatorship), I’ll just keep posting as you delete it (cut and paste, stupid)

Why does the libturd media still refuse to ask Cuomo what he was thinking of when he was in charge of HUD? You know, when HUD mandated that FNMA and FHLMC come up with some creative ways for people who can’t afford it to by a house. And once FNMA and FHLMC set up the ponzi scheme, banks were forced to “accommodate” it and sell it to the market. I believe this mortgage scheme thingie is what this current economic mess is all about? Or have you libturds conveniently forgotten that little event too? You really thought banks wanted to lend to deadbeats if they weren’t forced to do so?

Steve Riley

Cuomo?….HVCC?…..was that susposed to make us feel better about how you miss handled HUD….

JOHNNY99

Eliot Spitzer isn’t dirty of course. He’s clean — ho wore a raincoat.
