One of Arab News’ most irritating journalists, Barbara Ferguson, is doing the New York Times special “I’m not saying, I’m just saying” maneuver by falling just sort of making an accusation against Israel’s government in having a hand in taking down Spitzer.

Wayne Madsen says Emperor’s Club VIP, the prostitution firm that entangled Spitzer in a call girl ring, is viewed by US intelligence as a front for Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad.

“The sources claim that Spitzer was ‘outed’ for his aggressiveness in attacking money launderers connected to Russian-Israeli organized crime syndicates and other Wall Street malfeasance.”

Internet journalist and ContrarianCommentary.com Executive Editor Andy Martin said: “Spitzer may have stumbled into a prostitution ring run under the auspices of the Israeli government, namely the Mossad. It is entirely possible that Spitzer was assured that his participation in the prostitution ring was protected precisely because it was run by an Israeli asset.”
[...]
Whether any of this is true is difficult to confirm at this time, but what is sure is that the FBI and Homeland Security officials revoked Spitzer’s security clearance early this week as the criminal investigation into Spitzer’s alleged use of prostitutes broadened, according to officials familiar with the case.

Yep, wherever you go, those darned, sneaky Israelis are conspiring to steal money and take down their political enemies.

Of course, Ferguson, like the Times going after McCain, offers up the near accusation without anything other than hearsay, speculation, and a healthy dose of bad will. I know it’s not the height of persuasive argumentation, but can I simply end this post by saying that I despise the Barbara Fergusons of the world?

Because, let me tell you, I despise the Barbara Fergusons of the world. Especially, it should come as no surprise, Barbara Ferguson.
