Elliot Spitzer should resist the temptation to speak when the urge strikes him in the near future. He continually proves to be a bigger, more embarrassing version of himself nearly every time he does.

Most recently, and evidently tiring of the comparison to South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, Spitzer is essentially claiming he's better than the Governor, because he didn't "fall in love" with the two bit hookers he partied with...

From the NY Post Page Six:

THERE'S a huge difference between what South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford Eliot Spitzer did. "I didn't fall in love with any of them," Spitzer was overheard telling LMDC executive director Avi Schick the other day at Solo in the Sony Building on Madi son, where they had the $24 prix-fixe lunch. And Spitzer didn't use any taxpayer money on his trysts, while Sanford is reimbursing the state about $12,000 for travel expenses to Buenos Aires. Schick had Vietnamese beef spring rolls and a grilled chicken salad.

Further illustrating why left and center left people have nearly no ability to ever discern actual moral shortfalls, and seemingly can only find visceral outrage at hypocrisy, Spitzer is a voice who's time came, went, and really went, a while ago. His desire for personal relevance aside the moron would be better to keep himself to himself.

Today on the KMC Show:
1. Barack Obama will respond directly to the most objectionable statements put forward by his "pastor" Dr. Jeremiah Wright.
2. The markets are in free fall, what you should be doing to protect your future in this atmosphere.
3. The Supreme Court WILL take up the indecency case...
4. And all the new twists in GovernorGate... and uh the OTHER GovernorGate too!

Given the generally hardened viewpoint of the Lovely Bride - particularly when it comes to the whole adultery/prostitution thing. She tells me - they're not even close to the same thing - and he should take this opportunity...

The jury is still out for me.

Personally I'd rather him knock Hillary out of the Senate because after she's demoralized in this year's primary she will literally then be out of places to go live off my tax dollars...

But that's just me...

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what both sides of the partisan aisle would prefer Governor Spitzer to do - LEAVE. The editorial pages in all the NY papers agree today.

I mean for crying out loud - if the complaints are true - the most recent incident occurred about a month ago. And he once busted two different prostitution rings.

I wrote yesterday that the delay in making a statement to the public was likely due to his trying to configure a way to hold on to office. The more time goes by the more likely he will believe his chances to be able to remain.

This after his drivers' license initiative for illegals raised the collective ire of the voters of his state leaves him with little if any political capital.

Well today the State Senate is sending the message that his ride will be a bumpy one should he not decide to do the right thing. They have given him 36 hours to resign or face impeachment.

Unlike recent Washington congressional members who HAVE survived similar scandals, I do not believe Spitzer will be able to raise the public support necessary to hold on to power.

But we'll see... the clock is ticking.

In a matter of seconds, he walked in, "I apologize to my family and to the public."

And left...

It was so fast most media was not even able to capture it...

Shep Smith has Napolitano on...

The short of it is Spitzer could get 5 years for each phone call made to the prostitute/service. Evidently the use of a cell phone in a crime makes the charge an automatic felony...

Repeat Gov. Spitzer INDICTED... charges involving a prostitution ring.

Multiple reports now confirming... Spitzer will call it quits. Darn that whole not being able to pull a Clinton thing...

David Patterson, legally blind and minority leader in the New York Senate WILL assume Governorship.

NBC now saying that his own text messages, cell phone records may link him most directly as "Client #9" in the prostitution investigation.

He's a half hour late for the presser that called for 2:15pm.

Probably not enough time to run a flash poll, so he has to decide how to ride this thing out.

"Do I resign? Do I try to buy a week of time to run polls and see how bad the damage is? Do I do the Clinton thing and say, everybody does it?"

The reason he isn't appearing yet is because he's most likely NOT going to do the right thing which would be to step aside, go away with his family, and attempt to keep his family from falling apart.

This is going to be a nail-biter...
