Never Mind...

Hey kids, remember that plan to give illegal aliens drivers license' that New York Governor Elliot Spitzer introduced? You know that one that HILLarry stumbled and bumbled with at the last debate? Yeah...that one.

Well, it's gone.

Seems Gov Spitzer has thrown in the towel. Conceded defeat and pulled the plan from consideration.

Gosh Rumbear, why?! Go here and read the Main Stream Media take on why then come back for a few salient points from the Olde Bear. Gahead...I'll wait.

Okay, welcome back, oh enlightened ones.

Tenacious has always been Gov. Spitzer's middle name, but the beating he's taken over his plan to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants turned him into a timid tiger. He dropped the controversial plan with angry rhetoric saying political partisanship did him in.

Partisan politics....hmmm?

The pressure on Gov. Spitzer to drop his license plan was intense. Republicans clobbered him with it and the spillover effect hurt Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. It even angered members of Spitzer's own party, still the governor didn't go quietly.

Did you see it? I even highlighted it for you.

As to those points...there is a Democratic debate tomorrow night, do you think Hillarry wanted to be exposed to any follow-up questions as to her perfectly opaque position on this issue? Me either. I'm betting ole BJ Billy was on the telephone to Elliot laying down the law according to Clinton within days of that last debate.

But you said "points" Rumbear...Well, let's look at when the plan would have taken effect. May 2008 was reported to be the projected implementation date. Do you think Hillarry wanted this little gremlin popping up in May with five months to go in the Presidential race. (Remember she is on record supporting it.) Five long months of being hammered on an issue that 80% of Americans are against. No way, pardon the pun, Jose.

So we have the plan dropped. Wolf Blitzer dare not mention it. To bad so sad, nothing here, move along. As Emily Litella used to say, "Oh!, Never Mind."
