Your Afternoon Spitzer Update
- If Spitzer doesn't resign, the Republicans will try to impeach him.
- The evolution of New York Times headlines: we've moved on from "weighing" and are on to "expecting."
- Spitzer got caught after the IRS noticed odd financial transactions. But is taking a couple grand out here and there really that odd? Or is it the further politicization of Bush's Justice Department? Did Cheney do 3/10?
- Spitzer could be prosecuted under the Mann Act! He "trafficked" his lady across state lines (ironically, considering that Spitzer signed New York's landmark anti-trafficking law last May) because he was too snobby for regular DC prostitutes.
- All the New York papers called for Spitzer's resignation. Except the Times!
- Does this mean we'll never get a Jewish President?
- Our NSFW brothers at Fleshbot take the pro-high-class prostitution position.
- Spitzer's alias: George Fox. The name of a major Spitzer findraiser, a Quaker theologian, and a "ho-bustin' Wild West Rabbi."
- Meet our first blind black governor!
