Spitzer's Act of Congress

Say this for Eliot Spitzer's judgment: it's gratifying that NY may soon have the first legally blind governor in U.S. history. Give Spitzer the "bone"-headed at least one point for choosing David Paterson as his running mate.

Maybe something good will come of this. Besides 1001 wisecracks and "Love Gov"/"Eliot Mess" headlines.

Y'know, I don't have a water cooler here in my home-based workplace. So permit me to observe among the weirder ironies in all this: Spitzer is one of maybe 347 males in NY state ever to have learned that inducing a prostitute to cross state lines is a greater crime--a *federal felony*--than picking her up on the street corner.

And maybe the only one to discover that detail before getting arrested. (Granted, I'm just presuming that someone who has prosecuted two prostitution rings would have absorbed this....)

From the wisecracks: my wife's pal Bill Bragin observes that it's a shame that Spitzer couldn't stick to his campaign promises—the governor at least could have patronized a brothel from some economically depressed town upstate.

WARNING THE FOLLWING PUN IS APPROPRIATE FOR A FAMILY BLOG:
"here i am slaving away and I could be making 4200 bucks an hour on Spitzers' staff".
Get it? staff.

Sorry, but I wanted to get that recorded before someone else did.

You may now return to your thoughtful mature discussions of today's events.

OOPS I MEAN THE ABOVE PUN WAS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR A FAMILY BLOG.
Actually, I am not even sure it's a pun, more of a play on words or a double attendre. I guess what I am trying to say is that i really wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and you should just ignore me. I'll go away now.

Does that mean that this is a staph infliction?

Well the big laugh line around the office here was about his "firm stance on prostitution."
