All the papers really love that picture of him with his mouth all scrunched up, don't they? Well, except for the Times, of course, which decided to take a higher road. How about we call this incident Spitzer's Spritzer? What a waste. If he survives a thousand years, he'll never live this down.

I like that the NY Times headline specifies that Spitzer is linked to a sex ring "as a client". Like anyone would pay that ugly dude for sex.

i guess the post honored colbert's calling of dibs on "eliot mess" he has sucked as a governor. he needs to resign for the sake of the democratic party & the election. can we do a california style re-call & vote in Carl Weathers? (so that, finally, all the major stars from predator will be able to say that have served as a united states governor.)

I like how so called Wall street is gloating, like they don't use hooker services and other vices. Have they ever prosecuted people and put them in prison for using/being/employing prostitutes? No? Then it's not the same thing.

This is the most depressing political fuckup since Monica Lewinsky. Makes McGreevey look like a loveable oddball in comparison.

I like how so called Wall street is gloating, like they don't use hooker services and other vices. or Academia when they found that guy in some SM place.

Gothamist... did we really need another -Gate? Couldn't you have called it like... Hookerpants or something?

99% do it. The only difference is that he got caught. I say leave him alone? Jeez, I don't know... maybe because there are people who were involved in prostitution rings sitting in prison because of him?

He's the number one law enforcement official in the State of New York and he has committed a federal crime for trafficking prostitutes across state lines. I think it's time for him to go, get the heck out of office and let us try to put the last 14 months behind us. I have never been so disappointed with a politician in my whole life. I was actually excited to vote for Spitzer for governor. I thought he'd do some good for a state that had suffered for so long under the incompetent and cynically corrupt George Pataki. But he turned out to be an even bigger loser, if that's possible. What a huge failure and disappointment, and at this point he should just leave already.

Other than the monies involved and how they were gotten, what is the big deal? 99% do it. The only difference is that he got caught. I say leave him alone? The only ones hurt here are his family. Feel sorry for them that they are humiliated in front of the whole world.

Oh give him a break! With a face only his mother could love, of course he has to pay for it.

What about his carbon footprint? NYC to DC? No one's talking about that.

Speaking of Troopergate, what was Spitzer's security detail doing while he was otherwise engaged at the Mayflower?
