Spitzer ...

To all of you who are screaming for his resignation. STFU. He should stay in office until David Vitter and Larry Craig resign.

Update:

And something I've been thinking since the McGreevy scandal is put into words by Dr. Attaturk (Podiatrist to the Stars):

Stop fucking up, then dragging your spouse out to stand there and suffer while you talk about how sorry you are -- especially since they are the most aggrieved party of all. It's bad enough that you fucked up, and fucked them over, don't punish him or her by making them stand there with a pasted on look on their face while you drone on.

Thank you.

Update II:

Our pal Lambert has some questions:

...

And interesting, isn’t it, that this whole story, that starts with a wiretap, breaks the same day and completely buries a story on how these guys can wiretap entire cities whenever they fucking want. Odd, that.

...

Update III:

And Watertiger basically sums it up:

...

I'm of the belief that it takes a special kind of person to be a politician - the level of arrogance and chutzpah to build your entire career on crime-busting, and you wind up IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING PROSTITUTION RING? WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!?!

...

And just some thoughts of my own. What the fuck can this woman do that's worth $5000 an hour? I mean, seriously, for that kind of money, sparks better shoot out her ass and Hail to the Chief play out her ears. No public pussy* is worth that, I don't care how 'high class' she is.

Update IV:

But should Spitzer have to resign (he's a Dem so the Republican Noise Machine will be cranked into high gear until he leaves), the man who would take his place is inspirational.

*And let me be absolutely clear (before I come home to see a crowd of women on my front lawn with pitchforks and a noose), this prostitute wasn't some victim (or a woman forced into the business by slavers) who ran way from home and had to sell herself to survive. A woman who can demand that much is in it for the money, period, and I'm looking at it as a purely business transaction. For $5K, that sucker better be gold plated at the very least. Goin' to work now ...
