MINNEAPOLIS—At a breakfast for the New York delegation to the R.N.C., Joe Bruno called Barack Obama a “wimp” and implied that, like Eliot Spitzer, there may be a side to him voters don't know yet.

The attack by the former State Senate majority leader got a standing ovation.

Bruno called Spitzer “glib, articulate, fancy, dancey, prancey, all of those kind of things,” and said it was those qualities that helped him earn 70 percent of the vote when he was elected governor in 2006. “Broke a record, OK," Bruno said. "Why? Because of marketing. Selling. Think about it. Was that him? Was that for real? Was it? No—hell no.”

Bruno went on to tell his version of the Spitzer saga. “He gets elected, something snaps, something goes out of his mind. The real person comes out," Bruno said.

“You got to remember what he did once he was in office," Bruno warned. "He became like a despot.”

Spitzer is someone who could "fool the people," Bruno said.

"Now, lets fast forward to Barack Obama," Bruno added. "Everybody says, ‘Man! He’s articulate—what a presence.’”

Then, he asked ominously, “What has his life been about?”

This vile innuendo from a man who keeps close company and takes advice from the surreally sleazy Roger Stone.

makes perfect sense... one liberal is involved in a sex scandal, therefore all liberals must be sexual deviants.

just ask mark foley and larry craig.

He is absolutley right. The glib presentation of Obama and his hubris belies the fact that baggage always comes along with such attitudes. And he gave a perfect example. Good job Bruno
