Spitzer has officially resigned.
I was trying to come up with a clever headline for his resignation, but the best I could come up with was the title of Douglas Adams Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy title.
Can anyone come up with anything better?

“Spitzer Goes Down”
Or would that be a poor choice of words in this context?
Ahem.
LOL
Say this Mr. Clean doesn’t clean like it used to
Spitzer Given The Hook(er).
“Will the last clean politician please turn out the light”
How about:
“We apologize for the inconvenience.”
Spitzer is off the hook(ers).
Couldn’t rsist Guru. :>)
How about Rosana Rosanadana –
Never Mind…
Dennis, I will never tell!
Old Joe Kennedy
Dwight Eisenhour
Georgie Patton
Jack and Bobby Kennedy
Ted Kennedy (at least Spitzer didn’t kill anyone
Bubba Bill Clinton
What did these men have in common. They didn’t have to pay for it. Spitzer must be a real loser.
Call Girl Margin Call takes out Spitzer
He came in swinging and went out schwinging.
Ross, I’m thinking Napoleon Complex.
Paul in NYC, LOL…I quit because there is no way to top yours. Very quick wit with some wisdom hidden in there as well. BRAVO!
Spitzer swallows.
There ain’t no such thing as free you-know-what. The only question is the terms and instruments (freely adapted from R.A. Heinlein). As for titles as long as you’re on an Adams roll how ’bout
1) The Answer Was NOT 44
or better yet
2) The Long Dark Tea-time of the Sour
Does Eliot Spitzerswallows?
Nevermind
Good one JKB! shorten it to
Margin Call (Girl) Sinks Spitz
dblwyo:
No, the answer was 42.
Willy Eliot…nice movie
How about:
Only Zaphod Beeblebrox could get a head on the side and still be president.
btw, I hope she was “the best bang since the big one.”
He took it hard.
She dropped to her knees when she heard the news!
Bye, Eliot. Here’s hooking at you, kid!
(sorry, I’ll go back to lurking.)
She swallowed hard when confronted with the news!
He’s gonna have time to fish, so why not buy a boat and name it the “Happy Hooker”.
“He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.”
Poor kid fell hard for Elliot!
The mention of Client #9 took me back to my Sesame Street Days (actually college days) and this segment from Schoolhouse Rock called:
“Naughty Number Nine”
Number nine will put you on the spot.
Number nine will tie you up, oh, in a knot.
When you’re tryin’,
Multiplyin’ by nine,
You might give it everything you’ve got
And still be stopped.
If you don’t know some secret way you can check on,
You’ll break your neck on
Naughty number nine.
You could use those tricks.
‘Cause you must have some secret way you can beat it,
Or else you’ll meet it
With naughty number nine.
If they don’t add up, you’ve made a mistake.
‘Cause you must have some secret way you can check it,
Or else you’ll wreck it
With naughty, nasty, mean old number nine.

Read the last words jerks…(The words in Spitzers mind as he stood there)
SPITZER’S ACTUAL WORDS [Not reported by the media]
[Responding to the first question]
Well … my wife whom I love has been hurt by this, and I am very sorry for that. Very. I never intended to hurt her …
[The Governor, struggling to gather himself for nearly a minute, then continued.]
… But now I have to ask why a man’s or a woman’s sexual peccadilloes have to be splashed all over the media in this country. As though private sexual relations between men and women are news.
You know … the religious NAZIs in this country …. the so-called religious leaders … and the completely corrupt media that are always going on about this sort of thing … maybe it’s time for people to grow up.
See, I’ve got news for you. All humans are sexually active. And most of of us do have sexual relations outside our main family relationships. That may uncomfortable to hear but its true.
So-called “religious leaders,” most of whom are certainly “getting a little” on the side — sometimes with men, sometimes with women (and a LOT of politicians too); even some media moguls know this. Everybody knows this. So why is it NEWS?
I’ll tell you why: Because SEX is used to blackmail and control people by all these so-called “leaders”. They control politics with it. They use SEX for power, the same way rapists do. And that, I grant you, is a slimeball thing to do.
First they lie to convince you that sex outside marriage is always bad. Then they lie again, pretending that they themselves and other so-called “good” people never do such things. Finally, they lie when they tell you all it’s NEWS … that a political figure sought and found a bit of sexual comfort, in privacy.
Humans seek and need a lot of sexual comfort in this screwed up world that these so-called leaders have foisted on us all — every one of you does and every damned one of you knows this.
So if you want to understand our so-called religious leadership in America today … and our so-called political and MEDIA leadership. There is a WORD you should keep in mind … more clearly even than these words: MONEY and BRIBE. The word you should keep in mind is BLACKMAIL.
An awful lot of politics is controlled by blackmail.
Think Bush. Think NSA spying. That’s how they’re running the country.
[Spitzer then abruptly left the briefing room.]
Probably his is listening The White Album (The Beatles)

Spitzer Pulls Out
Spitzer goes down!
Spitzer, I don’t even know her.
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, good night,
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, adieu,
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.
For $5500 an hour they should call her Swallow-zer’s Call Girl.
Elliot Spitzer was seen as a modern day Robin Hood while in fact he was doing Robin for way more than Hood prices”.
LANG GONE. In honor of his nemesis, Ken Langone.
Spitzer Stimulous Plan Backfires!
In a bold initiative, a public figure sought to use own personal funds to boost interstate trade and alleviate a sagging economy. However, Republicans were quick to criticize the plan as wasteful spending: “Typical of Democrats Spitzer wanted the extras!”
Spitzer’s wife rumoured to be intereted in NY governor job.
“Elliot Spitzer was seen as a modern day Robin Hood while in fact he was doing Robin for way more than Hood prices”.
His real name was “Throbbin’ Wood”
Deep Throat follows the Money
81K in prostitution fees!!! Boy did he get screwed!
“Whadda’ makin’ a Federal case outa dis for?”
I mean, The Mann Act? Really?
In other news, Dick Grasso is still on trial.
“Will the last clean politician please turn out the light”
How about the first one? Any one? Are there ANY clean politicians out there?
As for the headline, how about
NY…Spitzer….out
Hookers aren’t for little kids, they’re for Daddies. Now go get Daddy another beer!

The Spitz is over?
He had to do it because it would have been impossible to function but at least he did the right thing which is more than can be said for many. I do find all the self righteous moralizing a bit hard to take though. After all it’s a fair bet that the fifty high class escorts of the Emperors Club are mainly doing overtime with Wall Streeters some of it being paid for with stockholders money. Otherwise why would this high priced meat market exist in NYC and not say Independence, MO. The WSJ ed page indulged in an absolute Spitzer Auto da fe this morning. But then hypocrisy is one of our major national failings.
all I can say is that if Spitzer were a GOP product none of this would have come to light.
Spitzer was stupid and got caught. Does that make Ah-nold any better????
that this “broke” the evening before the fed crap is purely a coincidence….
Just like gay marriage was “important” when questions about Iraq became louder and louder. The douche’s that pass as “leaders” couldn’t wait to take him down for all of that pesky regulation he forced them to accept.
having said that….he should have seen the target on his back…….
Not an issue at all were he GOP material.
Ciao
MS
Sorru I messed up on the previous post…..
Here is Spitzer at his new job with The BBB…..

RIP Elliot Spitzer,
A man who went to Stomping Corruption to Schtupping Corruption wherever he found it.
You are number 9
I am not a number; I am a free man!
(Well, freer than he really wanted to be, now.)
Cmon, this is too easy:
Spitzer Swallows His Pride

I think that he will be the media boy for Virgin…

Spitzer hires new assistant, Jack Off.
MS, I guess you don’t remember the Speaker of The House who resigned because of an affair during the Clinton Administration. Sheeple make me laugh so please don’t stop with the comedy.
I hope he doesn’t do constuction work because every time they yell heave ho he’s gonna be looking for one of his girls.
Brings a whole new meaning to the song, “Love Potion #9”.
He went after Grasso for excessive compensation while he’s toast because of excessive ejaculation.
You have to know when to Ho em and when to fold em.
MS, the target on his back was probably just a stain. It happens.
She bent over backwards to please him!
Maggy, I don’t give a rat’s ass what he said. You true believers are scary as Hell!
If he goes to a Dude Ranch, when they yell, “wagons Ho” he will think he has a date.
He could do a Campbells Soup Commercial, and the jingle could be…”Ho do you handle a hungry man?…with a man handler!”, sung by one of his lovely ladies of course because they work for their living.
Spitzer gets Spat????
Who spat Spitzer???
in a similar vein, when and if any important female hedge fund manager gets into trouble or passes, the obit could read:
Devoted Manager
Beloved Qu(a)nt
Thank you LD

Spectre…..get a life.
Read again….made up.
Maggy, Your thoughts regarding Spitzer scare the Hell out of me. True believers like you scare the Hell out of me. You sheeple who lean on one Party or another scare the Hell out of me. Got it true believer?
Slate headlined their coverage, “Tainted Gov,” which I thought was pretty good.
