The Democratic Party was rocked Monday by the revelation that N.Y. Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been connected to a prostitution ring.
The Times reported that Spitzer was identified as "Client No. 9" in a federal investigation into the Emperor's Club VIP, the subject of a federal indictment of four people last week.
- Bumpersticker idea: Vote for Client #9! (Too bad not Client #69).
- Campaign slogan: The Voters Come First!
- Afterthought: "Should've gone to Thailand."
- Excuse: Just went in for a deep-tissue massage, officer.
- Victory speech: "I came from behind!"
- Rationalization: "With campaign finance reform, each dollar spent was met with matching government funds. Just trying to help out the disadvantaged."
- Deflection: "At least nobody was taking advantage of an intern."
Got any?
(Hey, anything to distract us from the stock market!)
In edit: Wow, Spitzer resigned. I guess it was easier to give up the "day job." So to speak.
