New York Governor Spitzer May Be In Trouble

I can only say "may" because where this would have been the kiss of death for a politician some years back, perhaps today it would be a sign of his liberation from traditional morality. (He is a Democrat, after all.) From the March 10, 2008 Idaho Statesman:

NEW YORK — The New York Times is reporting that Gov. Eliot Spitzer has told senior advisers that he had been involved in a prostitution ring.
On its Web site, the newspaper cites an anonymous administration official as the source and says Spitzer was meeting with his top aides.
Spitzer officials wouldn't immediately comment on the story to The Associated Press. An announcement was scheduled for 2:15 p.m. at his Manhattan office.

In light of how Spitzer's staff misused state police and resources against a political rival, nothing surprises me anymore. Even better: Spitzer has played a major role in promoting restrictive gun control.
