Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced Wednesday that he is resigning, completing a spectacular fall from power for a politician whose once-promising career imploded amid allegations that he paid thousands of dollars for high-end prostitutes.<\/p>\n

“I look at my time as governor with a sense of what might have been,” Spitzer said, with his expressionless wife Silda standing at his side. “There is much more to be done, and I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people’s work.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The fact that he resigned means that he reached a plea deal with prosecutors – his political office is all he had to use in a bargain. So whatever deal he reached, you know it’s a relatively sweet deal. Not one you nor I could’ve negotiated.<\/p>\n

The New York Legislature should have worked through the night to impeach him so he’d have nothing to bargain with the Federal prosecutors and they could give him a couple of years of jail time. Let him tell his story and waste his “work of the people” horseshit on his cell mate, Tiny.<\/p>\n

Spitzer got off a lot easier than he ever would have let the victims of his fishing expeditions. I’m pretty sure karma has something for his ass, though.<\/p>\n

Bill O’Reilly<\/a> and Radio Equalizer<\/a> plumb the depths of the Left for their mitigation of Spitzer’s crime. Folks, there’s no mitigating here – he was a prosecutor who sent other people to jail for the same damn thing.<\/p>\n
