New York Governor???????

How does something like the prostitution ring that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer even happen in the first place.

A few days after the story broke and a day after I originally posted this, he has resigned. What I love about it is that only minutes after CNN.com had the story posted, someone has already updated Spitzer's page on wikipedia.org

It's dumb enough to get caught up in this type of thing if you are an average Joe on the street. With the media's overbarring coverage of politicians personal lives at an all-time high, what did Spitzer think would happen? That he would never get caught in the state that has a city that is the biggest media market in the world?

The possibility that he possibly used public money to pay for his "expenditures" is unbelievable. If he was going to do what he did, using his own money might have been a saver way to not get caught instead of taking money out of the public fund.
