New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (R) holds a news conference in New York City with his wife Silda by his side, on March 10. Spitzer came under mounting pressure to resign Tuesday, a day after the Democrat crusader once known as the "Sheriff of Wall Street" was linked to a prostitution ring.

Notice the (R) next to Spitzer's name. Has he switched parties?

“R” as in “right”?

It would be funny, if this stuff wasn’t so predictable.

Somehow I get the feeling if Eliot were on the left in the picture, you wouldn’t have seen, “Eliot Spitzer (L)....”

First they refused to acknowledge his party, now magically he is a Republican. Nice.

I’d gasp, but nothing the Democrat Media does any more surprises me.

“Sheriff of Wall Street”

That would offend me if I was good sheriff.

Let me actually make a prediction... when they finally fix this they will remove the (R) completely rather than replace it with a (D).

R stands for registered trademark?

Son of a [bleep]! Just when I think the leftist media can't sink any lower, they whip out a backhoe and really go to work!

Come on guys, the (R) is so the reader does not mistake the lady of having the name Elliot.

I mean, a woman and man standing next to each other, and one of them has the name Elliot. How the hell are we supposed to know which one is named Elliot?

I'm thankful to the editors for making that clear to us.

It's a picture caption. (R) means he's the one on the right.

Why they snarfed the caption for a headline, I don't know.

He should have a capitol “A” next to his name.

Note that it has an “(R)” but then calls him a Democrat just a few lines further down.

These news organizations, they need editors.
