F-ing Steamroller?
Spitzer Retaliates Against Elected Officials

"I'm an F'ing steamroller, and I will roll over you and anybody else that gets in my way. "
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- October 17
    Dobbs: Governor Spitzer is ignoring public opinion in his own state showing fierce opposition as well, to the plan. He's also ignoring a rising revolt within his own party.
    But, as Bill Tucker now reports, there are charges tonight that Governor Spitzer is retaliating against his opponent, and, in turn, hurting the very people he is responsible to represent. [...]
    James Tedisco, NY State Assemblyman: He wants me to back off my position of keeping this a secure state by not coming out in opposition to giving illegal aliens driver's licenses. And, if I don't, he reaches around me and goes into my assembly district and takes money away from kids who don't have health insurances.
