Or — gasp — Schroeder?!? Please name a more disfunctional, ass-covering governmental entity in Orange County than the D.A.’s office? There’s no question but that Todd Spitzer is a media hound and is as ambitious as the day is long. I’m not even going to argue one way or another about his qualifications or lack thereof to be D.A. But your post leaves a lot to be desired in the way of research and balance. First of all, Spitzer is undoubtedly not waiving confidentiality as a tactical ploy, but read the appellate court opinion on what T-Rack did to Mike Jacobs. T-Rack & Co. are fully versed in the arts of dirty tricks. Hell, if I were in Spitzer’s spot, I’d use anything I could to my advantage, because you damn well know that T-Rack is going to come at him with guns blazing. Second, before jumping on Spitzer for playing the martyr, maybe you should ask the question why a relatively minor complaint about Spitzer asking questions about an obscure guardianship case suddenly became a fireable offense? God knows, there are Deputy D.A.s who have done far worse, far more frequently and not only survived, but thrived. So, what’s the motivation? Get Spitzer out of the D.A.s office just so T-Rack can run again? Or is T-Rack going to try to pull the old switcheroo on the eve of the election to put his toady Schroeder in as “interim” D.A. so she can run as the incumbent? But, hey, don’t let me get in your way as you run with T-Rack’s prefered spin. God forbid you actually start using your brain rather than just your tape recorder.

Board of Supervisors, on the pension spiking law. If O.C. goes bankrupt — again — blame Spitzer first.

If so, why? Maybe the answer is here?
