Spitzer's Swan Song

Disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned his post today, though he denies having met with a hooker known as 'kristen,' who the New York Times has revealed to be a 20-something aspiring singer that goes by the name Ashley Alexandra Dupre.

CNN reports that federal agents ascertained the Governor and former state Attorney General used the escort service at least 8 times in the past few months.

8 times! How freakin' stupid is this guy? Couldn't he bang chubby interns like Bill Clinton did? They even claim they had him under surveilance on two separate occasions this year.

His resignation takes effect on Monday, when Lt. Governor David Patterson will become the first African-American governor of New York, and perhaps the first legally blind governor in the nation's history.

Spitzer has not been charged yet, though there is talk that his stepping down will have no effect on whether he will be prosecuted or not. Yeah, we'll see.

So here's the thing...who does the state's former top lawyer get to defend him?
