NEW YORK (CBS) ¯ Gov. Eliot Spitzer was not expected to continue as governor and may resign by Monday evening, sources told CBS 2, after it was reported that he was linked to a prostitution ring.
Reliable sources told CBS 2 Political Reporter Marcia Kramer that Lt. Gov. David Paterson could be sworn in as governor as early as 7 p.m. Monday.
Here ya go.
Payback's a bitch...GTFO NOW, Spitzer...
"New York State Attorney General Elliot Spitzer was accused of threatening unspecified action against talk-radio station WABC after getting embroiled in an on-air quarrel with talk-show host Sean Hannity and author and Clinton critic Laura Ingraham.A spokesman for Spitzer denied the charge leveled by producer Eric Stanger. The fracas began during the regular program featuring Hannity, a host with conservative leanings. Spitzer appeared via telephone as the Democratic participant in a discussion with Hannity and Ingraham, author of "The Hillary Trap: Looking for Power in All the Wrong Places."
Spitzer spokesman Scott Brown said Spitzer had been told the subject was to be Republican vice presidential candidate Richard Cheney. The debate grew heated, straying from the subject of Cheney.
But as Hannity continued talking over his responses, Spitzer attacked Rep. Bob Barr as a hypocrite who had fathered an illegitimate child -- apparently mistaking Barr for Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.), who has admitted an extramarital affair. Spitzer kept to that position, although Hannity gave him a chance to step back. Spitzer hung up when the show went to a commercial. But shortly afterward, according to Stanger, Spitzer called the station control room and began speaking with him.
"At one point," Stanger said, "he says to me, 'Let me assure you, I intend to use my capacity of the office of attorney general to act on this.'" "My eyebrows went up," Stanger said. "I said, 'Sir, is that a threat?'" Stanger said Spitzer immediately responded, "No, no, no. What I meant is that I am going to call my friends in government to tell them to boycott the show." -- Newsday, July, 2000, as referenced by Prorev.com

Great for us if so, keeps it in the press.
Couldna happened to a nicer guy!
LOL!
SMILING???
Somewhere Dick Grasso is doing his "Happy Feet" imitation!
LOL!
The MSM will not feature this relentlessly like they would a Republican.
He won’t resign tonight, tomorrow night, or next week.
He’s a Democrat and, therefore, above the laws - moral, legal, or otherwise.
Seems he is behaving like a RAT after all..no resignation
He should resign but Dems do have another standard. Sin is not sin. But, if Eliot sent money via across state lines, who knows? Carvile of course defended the gov. It is odd that so many Dems hate him too. Carvile always blames Pubs for the unfolding Dem scandals.
Now the pundits need to be very loud in pointing out how there is a double standard, that most RATS slide while the pubblies resign over speech that is less than PC.Pundits = anyone in conservative MSM.
As if there are any with reproductive capabilities.
/Hope and expectations
I must say those women do have some outstanding attributes. LOL!
He paid for one night, and he will continue paying for it.
What a way to screw up (no pun intended) a marriage, a family, a career, a life.
ROTFLOL! You can't make this up, folks.
Has he blamed it on gun dealers in Georgia yet?
