Yay, NY-NJ Democrat Governors!

Oh, please don't resign, Governor Spitzer! We're already lost another dashing young democrat governor with a pronounced chin to a sex scandal. If Larry Craig can hang on in the senate, surely Spitzer can weather this.

My favorite part of the coverage so far has been the labeling of the prostitution ring as "high-end". Are there low-end prostitution rings? Who exactly is defining these tiers? Are there rating agencies?

On top of that, I'm not sure if it's supposed to make it better or worse. Is it too fancy-pants, too high-brow? Will voters be turned off that Spitzer's prostitutes are of a higher quality than their own?

The way this is playing out, it looks like we're going to be getting a lot of details about Spitzer's peccadilloes. I don't think resigning will spare him the embarrassment either.

ps. It turns out I don't know how to spell "peccadilloes" or "embarrassment". Thank god Firefox has spellcheck.

I think he should hold a press conference to confirm that he's totally an alien!

This is good because it's forcing us all to learn to spell "peccadilloes."

I think he can tough it out! Especially if he uses his face squeeze from outer space. It might not be good for Hillary and Barak, however.

I mean, come on, maybe he and his wife have an agreement. People are so quick to feel all protective of her, but you really don't know what's up in their marriage.

Spitzer should make a speech that's like, "I am a kinky American."

Tom said...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If people ask him about the "scandal" he should be like, "You know what? I like to have kinky, dirty sex."

Whenever I hear the words "high-class prostitute," all I can think of is the Flight of the Conchords song "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room." If you haven't heard it, you should check it out.

I'm also very amused that her name was Kristen. What kind of prostitute name is that? One would think that she would have a fancy name like Kinky Stardust.

Well, it's looking bad folks. I think he's holding off on resigning to manipulate the news cycle. Maybe because the dems don't want the client 9 story to push the story about the general who doesn't want to invade Iran being forced to retire off of the front page.

Wait? What the hell happened?

Don't you read the NY Times anymore CBAM? Elliot Spitzer was caught on wiretap soliciting sex from a DC prostitution ring.

So now they're saying he's going to resign this morning. (Paving the way for New York's first black and first legally blind governor. Sweet!)

Also, does anyone find it odd that they basically busted this international prostitution cartel as part of an IRS investigation of the governor of New York?

I just love the fact that Kristen is a Jersey Girl! I bet she was just trying to pay her way through Princeton.

This is truly a New York-New Jersey scandal. I feel that as a New Jersian, I helped bring down the NY governor. Go, us!

Yes, the IRS investigation is apparently weird, they must have gotten a tip. Which means that how they got the initial warrant is probably shady.

Last night this woman who was advertising a comedy show yelled at me that NJ is not sexy (because I was like, I cannot go to your comedy show, I am going back to NJ). And I was like, au contraire my friend! NJ is WAY sexy, it is too sexy for NY to even handle!
