New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer said Wednesday he was abandoning a plan to issue driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, but said that the federal government had “lost control” of its borders and left states to deal with the consequences.
“I have concluded that New York state cannot successfully address this problem on its own. You don’t need a stethoscope to hear the heartbeat of the public on this one. There are some moments where emotions are simply too hot.”

Spitzer’s way of saying: “Whoops!” “I thought I could make my way through this cow pasture blindfolded, but I guess I got my shoes dirty anyway”
He looks like Doogie Howser (Neil Patrick Harris).
He must be planning to run for President one day.
