<p>Gotta love New York politicians. Almost as bad as their counterparts in Jersey:</p>

<p>Beat me to it zooser - at least he won’t be harassing us poor utility companies for a while, he’ll be quite busy</p>
<p>I bet Joe Bruno is throwing a party.</p>
<p>Here in Seattle we had “strippergate”. I wonder how this one will be called, LOL.</p>
<p>Shocking. Although a total grandstander he did some good work on grounding Wall Street. A set-up??</p>
<p>From LA Business Watch: “News of Spitzer’s reported involvement comes after the first-term Democrat had pledged to bring in ethics reform to New York’s capital of Albany.”</p>
<p>Hey, does his resignation mean that Hillary loses a superdelegate?</p>
<p>I think you can take solace in the fact that your governor was just a client. (toblin = NJ res)</p>
<p>Yeah, when I first saw the headline I thought it meant he was involved on the business end. Now that would have been quite the scandal.</p>
<p>Hillary must now “reject” Spitzer’s support as “denouncing” isn’t strong enough of a statement.</p>
<p>I am so angry I want to scream. He has three daughters, ranging in age up to a senior in high school. How do they go back to school tomorrow?</p>
<p>Can’t believe she was worth it!</p>
<p>I was just going to post this [Report:</a> N.Y. Gov. Linked To Prostitution Ring - Politics News Story - WGCL Atlanta](<a href=“http://www.cbs46.com/politics/15555336/detail.html]Report:”>http://www.cbs46.com/politics/15555336/detail.html) when I saw your “sleazebag” thread, zoos, and knew it had to be on the same topic.</p>
<p>How utterly stupid and pathetic. Spitzer had been a major disappointment even before this cropped up. NYS politicians never fail to prove themselves even worse than humanly thought possible.</p>
<p>“I think you can take solace in the fact that your governor was just a client. (toblin = NJ res”</p>
<p>Snort. So does this make my governer a “pervert American?”</p>
<p>1sokkermom, I don’t believe he has resigned.</p>
<p>I’ve never been a Spitzer fan, even back when he was zealously pursuing a political agenda as an attorney. I do think, however, that this abominable behavior is his personal business (as it has been with other badly behaved politicians) and his family will have to make the decision as to how they deal with it. I feel for his wife and family and it matters little to me in terms of his being governor.</p>
<p>Can we trade your governor for our mayor, even up? I’d take a john over a perjuror any day.</p>
<p>“The most highly ranked prostitutes cost $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said.”</p>

<p>Holy Rate of Inflation Batman!!! </p>
<p>Jokes aside, I feel just horrible for his wife and children. The humiliation and pain they must feel. UGH…what a low life and hypocrite.</p>
<p>“1sokkermom, I don’t believe he has resigned”</p>
<p>No resignation, and the tv news is reporting that he’s been indicted.</p>
<p>Re Post #14 - Resignation </p>
<p>From National Ledger</p>
<p>"Sources are telling Fox News now that the governor will resign. The announcement will be sometime later today the source told the news channel. The 48-year-old Spitzer is married with three children and the news is a shocker.</p>
<hr>
<p>He earlier had told some of his officials that he is linked to the ring where a federal prosecutor arrested four people in connection with a high-priced prostitution ring. NBC is reporting that he is linked to the “Emperors Club”. The first-term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform when he was elected to office in 2006.</p>
<p>The governor has been indicted by the southern district of New York sources tell Fox News and that would surely lead to the resignation."</p>
