1. They are both great Democrats.
I'm more familiar with Spitzer. Both smart wellspoken men.

10.  NEITHER, THEY NEED TO BE OUT THERE FIGHTING!!
They are not TV personalities. They are thinkers, fighter and champions of the american people. they need to get back into public arena leading some of the battles against these repug criminals on WALL STREET AND IN DC.

3. I'd rather see Spitzer as Attorney General
and Weiner back in Congress, since his so-called "replacement" is a useless Wall $treet shill.

7. Spitzer, although I think a lot of Weiner. I just get the sense
that Spitzer is more willing to not be in the spotlight. My impression may be wrong, but there you have it.

I'm very sorry he (Spitzer) was axed at CNN and HOPE to see him soon on MSNBC or maybe Current.

I hope to see Weiner soon, too.

Why are you asking the question? Have you heard a rumor???????

36. I hadn't heard that (and I'm not familiar with the show). That
would be great (or is this facetious?)

39. Cool - although I'm not sure what the "adult" crossfire show
is. That's what made me wonder if I was missing the joke.

If true, good for CNN!

42. This is all I could find on it --
“Time for a CNN Crossfire return? Spitzer & Weiner debate their wives over the topical issues of the day."

8. I like them both. I want to see both of them on TV. How about
on alternating evenings? Then their show would not get stale.

Or, co-hosts? That would be really interesting.

9. Other.
I don't know either of them.
I don't own a TV.

But I had already open the thread, so here I am with no reply that fits the parameters of the question.

11. I like them both. Too bad they tainted themselves.
It's always hard to take someone seriously when you've seen their shit spread all over the teevee. But they are both powerful intelligent men who have a point of view that I admire. I thought Spitzer was doing some incredible work as the DA on the Wall Street case. Anthony was on the verge of taking down Clarence Thomas. I'm not sure if there is such a thing as "testosterone poisoning", but if there is, those might be case studies.

12. I'd rather see Spitzer on TV. That said,
I'd rather not see anyone on TV. I'd like to see Weiner back in Congress, because despite his, er, eccentricities, he's a real fighter for everything I believe in.

Dammit all.

15. No, I do no like them..
Spitzer can go fuck himself. He was a hypocrite and should have gone to prison.

Weiner is an idiot with no personal control. WTF can I learn from an idiot like that?

The two of them and Bill Clinton should all get together and go fuck themselves to death.

Assholes like them keep tearing the party down.

Edited on Fri Jul-08-11 06:44 PM by a kennedy
Had at one time the most admiration for both of them......d*mn is right. Hate when the little head rules the big head, that being said, we NEED their voice though, not sure if they should both be on one show or if they should have their own show.......just need them in any conversation. edit to correct spelling.

22. Weiner... Spitzer... this is a joke that almost writes itself.
Actually, I see both of them as men with absolutely no self-control and terrible judgment who although given much responsibility, access, perks, and all the trappings of political office, could not help but engage in destructive behavior.

Fuck 'em both.

I really don't give a rats ass about people's sex lives as long as it's consensual and not rape or pedophilia.
