Client 9

As the whole world knows now, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer got himself caught shipping a hooker from New York to DC last month. Whoops.

The much-heralded former Attorney General was elected about a year ago with a mandate to "clean up Albany." Unfortunately, Eliot interpreted "cleaning up Albany" as "fucking whores."

Eliot is a member of the Democratic Party (and endorser of Hillary Clinton--irrelevant point!) and, as I'm sure you can imagine, I usually find this to be a lot funnier when an anti-gay Republican gets caught having a tryst with a go-go boy.

But you know, this is pretty good stuff, too. I mean, Eliot was absolutely disgusted when he broke up a prostitute ring as A.G. a few years ago. So yes, dear B&E readers, Democrats can have their tawdry tales come to light, too. And when they do, they give us gems like this:

I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and violates my, or any, sense of right and wrong.

What's he talking about? I don't get it. He didn't violate his family or a sense of right and wrong. It sounds to me like he violated a whore.

I sure wouldn't hold it against Mrs. Spitzer if she decided to John-McCain the New York Governor, who will now be referred to only as Client 9.
