Ya had it all, kid
...and ya blew it.
This sounds like it should be juicy.
UPDATE/POST PRESS-CONFERENCE:
I can't believe the news conference Spitzer just held. The audacity. Sheer audacity.
He starts the press conference by talking about his political goals for NY, and then turns to the topic at hand by stating: "Today, I want to briefly address a private matter."
Umm, gov? Quick question: did the grand jury handing down the federal indictment find it "a private matter"? If you were hiring a state employee, would you discount a felon's criminal history as "a private matter"?
Sorry, El. This ain't merely an extra-marital affair between consenting adults (even though we've all become too desensitized to the scandal that such affairs represent). This is you. Taped on the phone. Working out a deal to fly a hooker from NY to DC. For cash money.
We all know the rules: Democrats don't resign when they are disgraced, only Republicans do. So I look forward to the next 2 and 3/4 years of you further sullying the office you hold, dragging the State of New York through the media circus of your trial.

What are the odds on a very public divorce... Train wrecks have endless appeal, don't they? Oy vez.
Better he doesn't resign.. If we can keep this thing in the press through the election it just might help.
Here's the democrats scorecard:
1. Deval Patrick - the original "Yes we can" candidate. In fact, it turns out what we can do is order $50,000 drapes, fly state helicopters for private use, and hire our wife a six-figure personal assistant.
2. Pelosi / Reid take over, Pelosi promises at least 10 actions in first 100 days. In fact they've done NOTHING, unless we count enjoying the LOWEST congressional approval rating in history.
3. Spitzer. 'Nuff said.
Check out this post at RedState:
...The media wrings its hands over Governor Spitzer’s future. I don’t. I hope he serves out his term. Any state in the union that would allow President Clinton to install his wife in a Senate Seat the way the Soviet’s installed Walter Ulbricht to power in East Germany, deserves to be serviced by Client 9.
Elliot Spitzer will go down in history as a grub. As hypocritical grub, he fattened himself off the very society he claimed to be virtuously protecting. He knows this. He sees it every morning when he looks in the mirror. He’s probably too jaded to even be full of himself.
The money and the hookers can only anesthetize so much. He will probably die a bitter man who stews in the own turgid juices of his personal shortcomings. He can lie to The People; he can lie to his flunkies. They could care less what he sticks into whom. They just ride his bandwagon for the rake-off.
As long as the rake-off remains, so does Governor Spitzer. The GOP will be lucky to get within 15 points of the man next election. There will be a next election for Governor Spitzer. Federal indictments don’t ever deter incumbent Democrats. He may have no religious taboos against hiring a call girl even on Sunday, but for The Progressive Man to ever relinquish the power that he abuses to the point of mockery is strictly verboten.
Besides, he like Bill Clinton, can always get Jesse Jackson to declare his moral fitness and decency. The required donation to Operation Push would probably not even run him as much as the hooker. Oh, and unlike the Emporer’s Club, it would also be tax deductable.
SHK:
If you'd like an expanded list of Dems getting trouble, check out this post from RedState. It's sweet.
Have never understood why every political figure simply MUST have new drapes and new rugs... but so it goes. Buh bye old drapes and rugs. Hello Paterson. Look forward to seing him find new and creative ways to waste our tax dollars. Taxes aren't nearly high enough in NY.
