"Yikes, Eliot. Everyone is swarming all over the story of how New York&amp;#x27;s governor was part of a very expensive prostitution ring: the &amp;quot;nut graph,&amp;quot; as they say in the news business, is golden: &amp;quot;Self-righteous Pol who built his name attacking others for their transgressions is caught with high-class hookers!&amp;quot; Okay, so that&amp;#x27;s not exactly the nut graph that they&amp;#x27;re going to use. But it&amp;#x27;s pretty close. Spitzer made his name attacking Wall Street stockbrokers and financiers, crusading for high standards in government ethics, and, irony alert, prosecuting prostitution rings. Now he&amp;#x27;s fallen on his own sword, and I don&amp;#x27;t think he&amp;#x27;ll survive this. Spitzer made so many enemies during his first term as governor that the odds anyone will stand up to support him are slim. My hunch is that he&amp;#x27;ll resign by tomorrow. That means New York will have its first African-American governor, as well as its first blind governor (David Paterson, the state&amp;#x27;s lieutenant governor, is both.) The news has thrown Democratic officials across the country into disarray. Spitzer could have been a very big figure in the Party, but now everyone&amp;#x27;s running to distance themselves from him. Hillary Clinton can&amp;#x27;t be very happy right now, either: Spitzer was one of her supporters, and the last thing she wants to see are the associations &amp;quot;sex scandal&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Clinton&amp;quot; in the papers. What do you think of Eliot Spitzer? Caille"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
