Man – you can only trust them as far as you can throw them, eh? Ol’ “Hang-Em High Spitzer”, champion of Wall Street Justice who parlayed his publicity into running for governor went and
threw it all away:
New York Governor and Democrat Eliot Spitzer may be involved in a prostitution ring Fox news is reporting. The New York governor was involved in the ring according to a report from the New York Times. He was quote involved unquote according to a report from an insider that is on air at CNN.
Governor Elliott Spitzer is married with three daughters. The Times story is breaking so details are sketchy, but the story is a shocker and news broadcasts continue to report that they are stunned because Spitzer is married with children and vowed to clean up corruption when he ran for governor.
It appears that the information is solid as the story has now been published by the New York Times website. Spitzer was elected Governor in November of 2006 with 69% of the vote. He faced Republican John Faso and John Clifton of the Libertarian Party of New York among others. That was considered a mandate but he has struggled at times to get things done.
He is a former attorney general that has actually gone after two prostitution rings in the state. The story will continue to develop all day.
What’s funny is that he apparently went to this “lady of the night” the night before Valentine’s Day. Ooooooh that’s gotta hurt. He should have told CNN that is was just part of his undercover job, or that he was counseling her.
But even better with this is the fact that he was caught using a wire tap. I don’t know if it was granted from a judge, but if it wasn’t – this sure makes you feel good about the wire tapping being used for terrorism. And I’m sure Spitzer being a Democrat had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Still, it’s amazingly and disappointingly hilarious. Valentines Day. Wife and 3 kids. Attorney General.
I’ll be anxiously awaiting his resignation, so that Lieutenant Governor David Patterson can succeed him, becoming the first Black governor in New York history. Yay blacks!

Eliot Spitzer = Stupid Idiot. I don’t care that he was shelling out money for a prostitute. IMO, prostitution should be legal, or at least regulated. But it is illegal, and he’s stupid because he got caught… and by a wiretap, no less. I’ve heard rumors that he used his real name when engaging in said activities. What??? I do feel bad for his family. He is a lying, embarrassing cheat. Congratulations to Lieutenant Governor David Patterson. I suppose this isn’t the way he would have wanted to take over the Governorship, but it is now going to be his, so, good for him. Yay blacks!
