…to bloggers, talk show hosts and, of course, the New York Post, which is having a journalistic orgasm. And what luck for the chattering classes – what with the Obama/Hillary duel veering toward the tedious – that El Elioto is not stepping down gracefully and easily. He may even be plotting to hold onto his job… no real surprise there, except for who is instigating his obstinacy. Answer here. (Yes, there’s that little matter of not wanting to be sent up. And, yes, my wife wrote it – full disclosure.)
UPDATE: Here’s an interesting detail from a very recent AP story saying Spitzer may have spent as much as 80K on hookers:
Atill another law enforcement official said investigators found that during the tryst with Kristen on the night before Valentine’s Day, Spitzer used two rooms at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington – one for himself, the other for the prostitute. Sometime around 10 p.m., Spitzer sneaked away from his security detail and made his way to the room where she was waiting, the official said. The three officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
Hmmm… “Spitzer sneaked away from his security detail…” Now how did it he do that? Slip them a Mickey Finn perhaps? Or was his security detail in on the drill? Sound familiar?
This thing has more leaks than California’s Spears at/and Hilton combined.
The only redeeming thing I can see it’s that apparently is not yet impossible to have some privacy
I mean he did not get found out for 6 years?
secrets can still last that long?
It’s comforting in a silver lining sort of way.
You know aside from the troopers, where was the fearsome NY press?
Oh yea, they were writing that story about McCain.
BTW – Lets hope the late night set has NEW material – and not a rehash with just different names.
Nice article by the wife, Roger; all your shilling is justified.
For all the tools that were sobbing away for poor Mrs. Spitzer: Can I collectively call you Kristen?
Letterman did the whole set on Spitzer and now has Martha Stwart saying (more like blungled) that she renamed her Mojito the Spitzer.
Weak, but she probably called him.

Conan is also going after Spitzer.
The whole episode is excruciating.
Monday: Spitzer revelation
Tuesday: Dow up 416.66.
Coincidence?
I expect some of the women to come forward and tell their story. They are being hunted I’m sure, offers are being made. There are probably dozens.
Oh yea, its going to get worst.
Someone wrote:
“Anyone who has ever endured a lawsuit in which the other side has unethically leaked misleading or false allegations to the press knows that Spitzer was a punk bully. Nor do I pity his wife and family. They’re heirs to grandpa’s $billion.”
If you read the entire report, he spent $80,000 just last year. He has been doing this for at least 6 years if not more than 10. For full disclosure I earn $90,000 before taxes, I would be hard pressed to find 800 bucks for sex (two college kids) not to say 80,000 bucks.
My mother used to say
“Contigo hay que mandar a buscar la muerte”
Dito Spitzer.
My good friend Hillary has just assured me that this is all part of a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy!
Apparently the Swift Boaters were involved in a scheme to entice poor Mr. Spitzer into this embarrassing behavior. It required years of effort to get Mr. Spitzer to repeat the offenses enough times to get noticed by the media. I am told that Sixty Minutes will be recalling Dan Rather to report that President Bush had a significant role and is personally responsible.
