Spitzer: Everything I always thought he'd be – UPDATED

Never liked him. Always thought he looked like a punk, talked like a punk, acted like a punk – I wrote that a loooong time ago.

So, now it seems Governor Eliot Spitzer, (D-NY) is in hot water due to what Flip is already calling Shtupergate (better than Putz-gate, I think), a scandal about a prostitution ring. Imagine that. Will he resign? A Democrat Governor resigning and it’s “only about sex?” He’ll fight on, I predict; if he does not, I’d bet it’s about more than just a little patronage.

His rather in-character remarks are here on video. I feel badly for his wife.

We know almost nothing about his Lt. Governor, David Patterson. But really, whatever; he can’t be much worse.

As Spitzer is a Hillary Superdelegate, I’m sure she is not happy today, and I’m pretty sure you’ll be seeing a resignation down the pike.

[Update – ] You KNOW Hillary is going to want this story to go away fast; there are only two places she can go with it, she can play “I sympathize with his victim wife” which doesn’t work, because it reminds everyone of all the Fight-it- Out Cinton High-Drama, or she can try to joke and say, “hey, at least Bill never had to pay,” which probably would not be appreciated, but really, her best bet is to make this go away. Instapundit says Hillary’s website has scrubbed references to Spitzer. I think that gives you your answer. Almost could say that was monsterously efficient. I’d love to see the talking points.

Gateway Pundit has the picture Hillary can’t scrub.

Recall, Hillary’s own troubles began, when she could not find a comfortable answer to Spitzer’s idea of giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants among other issues.

Pirate’s Cove notes that you have to read 15 paragraphs in before you read that Spitzer is a Democrat in the NY Times article. The CNN article doesn’t mention Spitzer’s party at all. Imagine that. NRO notes that in this photo gallery only Republicans are ever identified with their party.
