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.

The bastard won’t resign unless he gets something from the Federal prosecutors in return.
that's something his father should of done...
hey - does anyone think this might have any tie to his embarassment of Hillary over the illegal alien license issue, which embarassed her?
wonder if his was one of those fbi files too
Another rumor, he liked to have his ears pulled.
Even Mark Geragos knows his days are numbered.
He’s already paid two grand up front credit to the service.
He shouldn’t pull out until he gets his refund at least.
I like Chrissy, but 5k is way too much.
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.
Yeah, real "battle-axes".... : )
when the hooker’s bodyguard gets his hands around spitzer’s neck.
Just a little prayer. Please, please, let the hooker be an illegal Mexican.
He is absolutely one of the most pretentious, arrogant politicians ever - and that's saying a lot as New York has bred an enormous number of pretentious, arrogant politicians. He should resign, but won't as he probably only feels he did one thing wrong - he got caught, i.e., the Bill Clinton syndrome.
I feel bad for Ava, Sienna, and Daniella. Only 3 diamonds? Myabe they should seek pointers from Sydney and Chrissy.
sw
He has NOTHING to offer.
Yeah, I gotta think that may go down as the most expensive sex ever, let’s see, four hours of sex, $2600, down payment on the next session, $1700, complete flushing of personal life and political career, priceless...
or... when will he pull out and spritzer?
