Shows how much I pay attention to news outside Texas. I thought George Pataki was still Governor of NY. This guy is in for some major league heat, especially because of his stance as an anti-corruption crusader.

HUGE... HUUUUUGE STORY!

I live here in NY, and all hell is about to break loose!

The question for me, at least now (because I like national stuff, more than local stuff) is how will this effect Hillary's campaign?

Guess we won't be seeing this on any cars:

Holy crap!!! This is unfreaking believable. I can't believe I voted for this dolt for governor - but he was one hell of an attorney general.

The news about the prostitution ring just broke a few days ago - nice to see our governor is a patron. He should step down. NOW!

We had CNBC on when it was announced and they said he was going to have a press conference and there was all this speculation in the newsroom if he was informing his family at just that moment.

He was a good attorney general but he's not been the greatest governor this state has seen. Glad I wasn't here when he was elected (I was down in Corzine Country, only we had the gay guy in then, whatever his name was...I'm trying to wipe NJ out of my memory).

Let's hope Spitzer has the decency to step down when caught in hypocrisy and corruption, unlike some other arrogant leader I know.

The guy bought a hooker. Saying he was involved with a prostitution ring is ludacris. I bought beer today, am I now involved with a liquor ring?

He spent $4,300 or so-for one night, with "Kristen". How much was your beer and what was the brand?

Unless it was your money he spent, it's no big deal. Just sayin'. BTW, I bought solid gold beer and it cost $3,000 a six pack.

If it was taxpayer money he would be a deadman now.

Now I really want to hang with you. What would you pay for chardonnay/gold????

Back on track

Should Spitzer resign? I say "yay". I've been pissed off at him for his "illegals" drivers license policy, his budget...This just breaks the old camel's back.

What say you?

I dated a Kristen... if all he spent was $4300... he was lucky.
