[okay – I TOTALLY got that title from Jon Stewart, but it was too good to pass up]
Turns out good old Margaret B. Jones isn’t the only one devising a little fantasy life. The governor of New York, our third most populous state, seems to have a naughty little alter ego to go with his righteousosity (I can’t spell the real words). Did he forget for a minute that he wasn't Republican? For those of you who have been asleep since Monday, Eliot Spitzer was discovered to have been sending text messages to high priced call girls for the last five years.
No wonder my friends hate it when I text them – turns out those pesky little messages have a half-life longer than carbon. God forbid someone ever publish my txt messages containing all my lame excuses for not calling.
But back to the subject at hand…(sorry for the two-days-in-a-row of current event blogs – obviously I was trapped on an airplane with half a dozen newspapers. It’s a good thing I got carried away with the drink coupons or it could have been a whole week’s worth of current event blogs). Anyway, Governor Spitzer most recently arranged for a prostitute to come to the Mayflower hotel in Washington D.C. the night before his testimony to Congress on the state of the bond market. Now…..what says “preparation for a bond market hearing” more than a visit from a high-priced call girl??? I mean….do these guys just lose their moral compass ENTIRELY at the mere MENTION of going to Congress?? Apparently, the prospect of being on C-Span was not exciting enough for Governor Spitzer.
I guess you do have to hand it to Spitzer for expecting his blow job the night BEFORE his congressional hearing, which is more than we can say for Roger Clemens.
And this is no joke…the call girls were rated (and correspondingly priced) by a 7-diamond rating scale. I suppose its too much to expect employee relations in the prostitution business, but seriously….how demeaning is it to be the 1-diamond call girl? Do you think their MBO payouts were based on their diamond ratings? The call-girl ring also offered frequent customer rewards and volume discounts (and if I wasn’t so prim I could take this blog in a WHOLE new direction… I can’t even stand to make my frequent flier joke after that lead-in…)
Well, I hate to cut this entry short, but I have GOT to prepare for my bond market hearing tomorrow....

Poetic justice, the big gulp, rapid karma? The man who ruined careers in the press and then had no legal basis for going further with his accusations, faced a very public comeuppance. Now, if they only have the courage to send him to JAIL.
I don't know...Maeve gets a speeding ticket and less than a week later the governor resigns - COINCIDENCE?
