Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer [1] announced this afternoon that he had engaged a prostitute. Speculation is he will resign.

Three quick observations:

• This is payback for the Wall Street Crusader stuff. He's also gone after NY State Senate Leader Joseph Bruno, who is extremely powerful. Bruno is a Sith lord of dirty politics
• He may have violated the Mann Act as the prostitute is thought to have come to DC to visit him from New York. This is considered "white" slavery, though it probably will be a charge that the leaders of the prostitution ring will face, not the johns.
• He's a Hillary supporter. Will she repudiate him?

Another thought: I think he has to go as this is a executive position. GOP creeps* like David Vitter can ease along in these cases because of the limited scope of their office. The State of NY is different from some Louisiana congressional district.

*Spitzer is a creep too. The look on his wife's face should tell every jerk who cheats what pain stepping out on your wife causes.
