    Apparently NY governor Eliot Spitzer is about to hold a press conference saying he's been involved with a prostitution ring, in a blatant attempt to get the hooker vote.

    I don't understand. Why would you give a ring to a prostitute?

    Unclear from this report is whether Spitzer was a client or an actual prostitute.

    I'm sure he was involved in the prosecution of it.

    That's some quality work right there 21. Well played.

    And lest anyone else try to play the card, it's a damn shame this guy was a Democrat. People on both sides have clear ability to be scum.

    Especially for this line...

    "Mr. Spitzer, a first-term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform and end the often seamy ways of Albany, is married with three children."

    So he was either kicking back, laying back or getting a kickback?

    Wow.
    Still, though, even if the D's mount -- you should pardon the expression -- a late rally, I think the GOP lead in this category is still secure.

    I'm not sure there's been a bigger clown in any governor's mansion than this guy.
     
  10. Oh, come on.
    He's not even in the same phylum as Edwin Edwards.

    I'm talking right now, currently. And I can't say I know about every governor out there either, but Spitzer sure seems to draw a bunch of unwanted headlines.
