Ethics

A Prostitution Ring! Awesome!

Thanks, Governor Spitzer. You just added your name to a short list that includes the congressman who was hiding cash in his minibar. So now, everytime we talk about the Culture of Corruption, the GOP can get all, "But... but... wah-abah Spizter and the hookers! Gotcha!"

In case you're not aware, Governor Spitzer has been caught up in a prostitution ring. Whenever I hear that phrase, I inexplicably add "tone" to the end of it. As in "prostitution ring-tone." When Governor Spitzer's cellphone rings, it goes, "Hey baby, wanna spend some mon-ayyy!"

This is pretty awful and bad:

Mr. Spitzer, a first-term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform and end the often seamy ways of Albany, is married with three children.
