It was recently in the newspapers that New York State Governor Spitzer accidently released the email addresses of people applying for jobs in his administration.

Where were they released? Who got to see them? Are they still available? Where?

Spitzer is in a brand-spanking new chunk of trouble --

Spitzer Is Linked to Prostitution Ring
ALBANY - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has informed his most senior administration officials that he had been involved in a prostitution ring, an administration official said this morning.

Mr. Spitzer, who was huddled with his top aides inside his Fifth Avenue apartment early this afternoon, had hours earlier abruptly canceled his scheduled public events for the day. He scheduled an announcement for 2:15 after inquiries from the Times.

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

In June 2005, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson hailed Eliot Spitzer as "the future of the (Democratic) party."

He is resigning as I type this ....

I wonder what "involved in a prostitution ring" means. Was he the receptionist, the pimp, the service provider or the customer?

Makes me glad there isn't a governor with all that demonstrated management experience running for president this time.

He was caught soliticiting a hooker while FBI was running a sting on hi-$$$ prostitutuion sting -- wiretap by the FBI.


Not only is it interesting, as he was best known for being THE best-known hard-charging State's Atty. General, He vowed to clean up NY State politics.

Perhaps he was just doing deep under-cover work?

I sure hope that hummer he may have gotten from that $1000-$5000/hr hooker was worth it?

Maybe he got caught as he was trying to make arrangements for it? Man, talk about political suicide.

HE's gone because after his stance after his 'Trooper-gate' problem, he was on the ropes. Now you can stick a fork in his political career.

LOL for 5k you get a lot more than a hummer.


No word if he will resign. At this point, it is assumed he was involved as a john.

He'd be foolish not to resign for the sake of gov't and his party. My prediction is that within 24 hrs to 72 hrs tops he will resign.

One of the johns complained that his hooker looked like a butcher. I guess she wasn't one of the Seven Diamond Girls...

Isn't Spitzer Hillary's NY campaign coordinator, head of NY state's democratic party and one of her super delegates?

hmm..is she THAT good that he would punt away the Governorship, a shot at the Presidency in 2012, AND potentially ruin his marriage?

What a colossally arrogant idiot!

sheesh
that's just stupid

he'd done a pretty good job on cleaning up insurance fraud in the NY/NJ area - I'd hoped that would carry over into other financial areas

So far, no resignation. And there shouldn't be if what he'd done was visiting a prostitute (outside of some political history where he gained or kept power through campaigning on this matter... his pursuit of corruption in the financial world didn't include going after execs for using prostitutes, for example). But it will hurt his future as America has a pathological condition as regards penises and vaginas.

Something tells me his "releasing days" are over, for quite awhile.
