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.

Please keep us posted on the presser.

FOX reporting he has been indicted.

I hope this is true. He is one of the worst tyrants since Gray Davis.

-what goes around comes around. Give your wife a high five from tioga!

blago, in IL

Given Spitzer’s pugnacious nature, I’d be very surprised if he resigns this fast.

Maybe he'll do Hillary a favor and suck up the oxygen for a few weeks fighting it, giving her cover to maneuver against Obama in the shadows.

“Rest assured, this type of abomination is bipartisan, and it doesn’t just happen in NY.”

yeah but the party is only highlighted if an R gets caught like the LA Senator. Press bias my friend makes us want to be certain that everyone knows when a Dem behaves badly

[wideawake]

Just heard it. He didn’t resign. He is “taking some time” and he “wuill report back to” us “in short order.”

[torchthemummy]

Another democrat party criminal gets caught and bites the dust.

And another example of the LMSM not identifying the culprit as being a Democrat.

I actually thought New Yorkers would be too smart to vote for Hillary. Now this. What a bunch of idiots they really are.

[freespirited]

Spitzer is independently wealthy. He can afford pretty much anything. Family has a real estate empire, I think.

[Red in Blue PA]

And who knows how many prostitution rings he has?

[milwguy]

No resignation, more to come later. Said he had to talk to his wife. What a putz.

[BibChr]

Yep; my already-not-too-high opinion of NY dropped when they elected her.

[Wil H]

Or that he was just a client, but paid for services in an improper manner (eg, using public funds or campaign funds)

Or maybe the prostitute was underage..?

True, but as governor he can't just come and go as he pleases. He has a state police driver and bodyguards wherever he goes. So if he went to visit the "club" some government money had to be involved.

[Aria]

How did he get away with firing your wife? I thought that was almost impossible in a government job. I’m glad for you guys ....go out tonight and drink champagne!

[Long Island Pete]

So Hillary! and Obama have some competition now, sounds like.

Or a running mate.

[catbertz]

HAHAHA HAHAHA

FOX really drops the ball here. While CNN and msnbc broadcast Spitzer’s comments, Fox was fumbling around unable to provide video or audio. Then Shep Smith says the guv is resigning, which he wasn’t. The Little Rascals could’ve put on a better show in Spanky’s garage.

LOL!
