Will Eliot Spitzer resign in time for this evening's network newscasts? I wouldn't if I were him. I'd wait until right afterwards, so that my smiling face wouldn't appear simultaneously on every TV set in the Western world.
This is not New York provincialism. Spitzer is practically the most prominent and powerful Democrat in a huge state — Hillary Clinton's state, Wall Street's state, the state of millions of Democrats.
Spitzer's boner really sticks out, even in this day and age. He didn't just get some on the side. He violated the law, if the federal complaint and published reports are true.
Yes, it will be more important to the country when Citigroup finally collapses. That will be a real disaster.
Still, there's some meat to this Spitzer thing. In any case, the way it went down was a case of exquisite timing, coming on the heels of last night's final episode of HBO's The Wire.
My buddy and former colleague Adamma Ince just texted me:
Looks like Lester got Spitzer on the wire too. She's referring to Lester Freamon, the ace detective on that ace investigative entertainment series about political corruption. Lester, adept at tapping and taping politicians, lawyers, and drug dealers, was the shining cop of all "murder police" on that instantly legendary series.
Judging from the complaint that apparently involves Spitzer, there was some pretty good bugging going on against him too.
Lost in the babble over the Spitzer story are the dubious prostitution laws. Why exactly is prostitution criminalized? However, it is, and Spitzer just got finished with a long stint as attorney general, where he hounded others for breaking laws. And now he's governor.

“Judging by the look on his wife’s face resigning is the least of Spitzer’s worries.”
why is she standing next to him? My wife would be gone to Canada for a year, just to keep herself from violence. Funny how all these wives suffer from Tammy Wynette Syndrome-—again.
Yes indeed...mine would already be dead, or they would be calling me Mrs. Bobbitt!
He won’t pull out until he’s done dispensing Love Potion #9.
Oh, no, he dint.
My understanding is that Elliot will not be pulling out. He will, however, have the common decency to offer his young lady friend a reacharound.
(...R. Lee Ermey, a role model for us all.)
OR A .......
OMG That classic photoshop I think Governor Spitzeer is playera i think he has his wife, probably two or three ho on the side
What kinda of dude you have qualitfy get the TOP hos
Wow, family background and education are part of the hooker payrate system. Who knew?
I don’t think he will either. He will be a hero to the Democrats and obvious Presidential material. After all he went Wild Willie one better, he paid the working woman and the Democrats are all about the working people aren’t they? He’s disgusting, but he’s a true blue Dem, no denying that.
She needs time to make his impending murder look like an accident.
LOL!
What a piece of dung.

If you're guv
And wish you knew
Where to get love
Why don't you do
Like hypocrites
Prostitutin' Spitz
Girls with names
You find out after
Play their games
And soon you hafta
Call it quits
Prostitutin' Spitz
Hooked up with a thousand-dollar hooker
Now you're stuck inside the pressure cooker
Lookin' snookered

Of pure excitement
Pay for kicks
With your indictment
Paging Fitz
Prosecutin' Spitz
Have you seen the prostitute
Chargin' high and lookin' cute
You're a famous VIP

Phone calls
And wiretapping
Net falls
It's you they're trapping
Spendin' lots of cash
For a thrill and a rash
If you're guv
And wish you knew
Where to get love
Why don't you do
Like hypocrites

The media is already trying to cover for him by questioning why prostitution is illegal. I think he made that comment in his so-called apology, yesterday.
The latest talking point will be that he is a victim of an outdated, puritanical mindset that makes a "natural" business illegal.
Like Hitlery, I think she is an enabler.
Better!
