Aides Say They Expect Spitzer to Resign

Top aides to Gov. Eliot Spitzer said Tuesday morning that they expect the governor to resign his office, although the timing of the resignation remains uncertain. Lt. Gov. David A. Paterson and his staff have begun laying the groundwork for him to take over as governor and are reaching out to members of the Legislature.

Looks like Governor Spitzer's days are numbered. A rather shocking and sudden end to such a long road to the statehouse. It darn well proves that you better be squeaky clean yourself if you want to be or are a merciless prosecutor of those who break and/or break the law. I am not saying that his targets did not deserve their fate, just that his unwillingness to give any quarter in his zealous prosecutions precludes any ability to ask for any quarter himself now.

Made our own fate now, didn't we?

Next up? Who the heck is (most likely) soon to be Governor David A. Paterson?

Comments welcome,

Pat McGovern
