N.Y. Governor Eliot
Spitzer was di-honored for his cowardly attempt to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens, an act that not only would threaten
our national security but also would further the massive voter fraud that has been perpetrated upon New Yorkers for decades.
Spitzer and his top aides also are alleged to have attempted to frame a political rival in an unfolding scandal known
as "Troopergate." Spitzer easily defeated baseball slugger Barry Bonds, who receives the "Dis-Honorable
Mention" for placing second in the balloting. Bonds is under indictment as part of the widespread investigation
into steroids abuse and athletes.
