Gov. Spitzer In Trouble
According to a story over at ABC News, NY Governor Elliot Spitzer has been linked with a national prostitution ring.
"I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself," he said. "I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family."
The New York Times reported earlier in the day that Spitzer told senior administration officials that he was linked to a prostitution ring. The report cited an anonymous administration official.
For anyone who doesn't know Spitzer, he campaigned his way into his governorship on a record of being hard on crime of all sorts. Being linked to something like this, even if it is "only" as a client, is a huge blow to his growing shaky credibility.
I'm not up in the Empire State anymore, but it's nice to see that there's still never a dull moment in NYS politics.
Some days, I think it's trying to keep up with DC.
