We're sure this will be a small scandal, just like the Governor's, um...
Official statement from the Governor of New York's office is forthcoming, but in the meantime:
ALBANY - Gov. Eliot Spitzer
has informed his most senior administration officials that he had been
involved in a prostitution ring, an administration official said this
morning.
Mr. Spitzer, who was huddled
with his top aides inside his Fifth Avenue apartment early this
afternoon, had hours earlier abruptly canceled his scheduled public
events for the day. He scheduled an announcement for 2:15 after
inquiries from the Times.
We
sort of liked the as-yet-still-Governor, but he was turning out to be
kind of a jerk and, more importantly, The Missus just reminded us that
she always thought he looked like a creep. Guys, always listen to your wives. Anyways, when we see that announcement, we'll let you know.
UPDATE: Still no announcement, but The Times now sez that the Governor was caught on a federal wiretap arranging a $2,500 rusty trombone. OK, that last part is pure speculation. But the part about the bugged phone is true. Full text after the jump.
