"It’s time to let science and medicine, not politics and rhetoric, lead us to good, sound policy." ― Eliot Spitzer Topic(s): Politics More From Eliot Spitzer "In politics you learn to always smile." "Facts matter. Science matters. Reason matters. Mitt Romney has shown an inability to respect any of the three. President Barack Obama not only respects them, he relies on them. He is an overwhelming and unquestioned choice to continue as president." "Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don’t like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is, at the end of the day, the most compelling, persuasive, and winning argument against a death penalty."

Boorstin "Television is democracy at its ugliest."― Paddy Chayefsky
