Nothing will happen to Gov. Spitzer (“Spitzer’s Spite,” Editorial, July 9).

He’s a Democrat, and that means you never have to say you’re sorry. You can imagine the media frenzy if Spitzer were a Republican.

I have no doubt that if Spitzer sent Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno to the gulag, the majority of the media would remain silent.

It appears that Spitzer was born with a silver foot in his mouth.

Lighten up on Spitzer.

For several years, The Post has chronicled the dysfunction of our government in Albany, the centerpiece being the cozy relationship between the legislative leaders and the governor around budget time.

The “three men in a room” style that has brought our state to the brink of ruin no longer seems quite as possible, given the current atmosphere in Albany.

The way I see it, this is a case of the enemy of my enemy being my friend.

Maybe what’s really so shocking about the Spitzer-Bruno feud is that we finally have a tough governor, like Spitzer, who has the courage to tell an entrenched, do-nothing career politician like Bruno where to get off.

Can anyone think of anything positive Bruno has done for New York except to collect a hefty paycheck at taxpayer expense? I sure can’t.

I don’t care what language Spitzer uses to get the point across – the main thing is that he brings Bruno’s gravy train to a screeching halt.

I was deeply disturbed to read that our governor is continuing his hostile and profanity-laced behavior toward those who disagree or challenge him.

Politics in our state have hit an all-time low and have left the voters praying for morally strong and accountable leaders who can step up to serve the public with courage and decency.

Are abuses of police power unique to New York?

At least in Albany there are some powerful Republicans like Bruno to fight back.

In some places, like Massachusetts, there is one-party rule. Similar police abuses are customary where there’s no Republican Party to oppose them.

As in Albany, the new Massachusetts governor promised change, but he is doing business as usual.

Is this something that is common to all politicians? Or is it something in the New York water?

Bravo for Bruno, for once.

What’s next on Spitzer’s agenda? Shutting down The Post and Fox News?

The governor is clearly doing everything in his power to ensure New York remains a one-party state, and, with the liberal media, he just might do it.

So much for democracy in New York.

I hope that an adequate investigation into Spitzer’s questionable tactics will take place.

A special investigator should be appointed who is more independent than Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

If there is an abuse of power, Spitzer should be removed from office.

As offended as I am by the oligarchic politics of Albany, I am more offended to think that the governor would use the police powers of the state to harass his so-called enemies.

Spitzer’s Gestapo-like use of the state police to help prosecute a political vendetta against Bruno is despicable and appalling. But, given his behavior during his first six months in office, it isn’t surprising.

I wonder if this is what he meant when he said, “From Day One, everything changes”?

If Spitzer wants to end the dysfunction in state government, he should start with himself.

In the meantime, George Pataki, please phone home. You are sorely missed.

Charles T. Compton

The reason for the special attention the governor has bestowed on Bruno is quite simple.

Spitzer came to Albany six months ago with two major misconceptions.

He thought the Legislature was a democratic institution and that he would be the top dog. Then he found out that it really is an autocracy, and he was a poor third in the hierarchy.

He couldn’t obviously attack the tsar, so he picked on the No. 2.
