TOO GOOD!
Eliot Spitzer Vows To Crack Down On Excess Prostitute Pay
Okay, a serious comment on l’Affaire Spitz: The GOP is overreaching one more time. They can't help it. Rep Peter King was fulminating on Kudlow Last night, and a Yahoo/AP Headline (since changed) was "Republicans Push for Spitzer Impeachment."
Folks, just look grave and mouth about how serious this is and how the Governor will have to make up his mind. Let his own party push him out or allow him to stay damaged for a while. There is no good that can come from Republicans pushing this, and plenty of bad from appearing to capitalize.
UPDATE: And one more, unserious, comment. Don Luskin points out "There's one advantage of having Spitzer replaced by his legally blind lieutenant governor: the new guv can make do with less expensive hookers." I really wish I were too good to post that. That's not what ThreeSources is about. Maybe tomorrow.
