Spitzer Resigns
Coverage, including the paragraph where Republican opponents are first mentioned, followed by when Spitzer’s Democratic Party membership is mentioned):
- AP (7, 13)
- NY Times (18, never)
- Newsday (11, 11)
- Forbes (7, 7)
- Bloomberg (18, 2)
Looks like the further you get away from the newspapers and wire services of record, the more reasonable the coverage becomes.
I would say “later, Mr. Spitzer,” but I suspect there is more of Eliot’s Mess that will come out in the next few months. Given Old Media’s lingering love for the guy, we may have to check the agate type to find it.

UPDATE: “Experts: Indictments Loom for Spitzer”
UPDATE 2, March 13: (Humor alert) Darke County GOP notes that Spitzer already has a commercial endorsement.
I agree….I would think that more is to come here for sure.
