Eliot Spitzer is Having a Worse Day Than You

As most of us know by now, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is steeped in a scandal involving a high-class call-girl operation.

Spitzer went to bed last night knowing he was in deep, deep, deep shit.

But I doubt he expected to wake up this morning--assuming he got any sleep-- to find an unflattering picture of himself--and his humiliated wife-- splashed across the front page of the New York Post accompanied by the big bold headline "HO NO!"

I'm so glad I'm not that guy.

Also crappy for him, The New York Times is reporting that top aides expect him to resign; if he doesn't, assemblyman James Tedisco is prepared to impeach him within 48 hours. And Lt. Gov. David Paterson, 53, is readying to replace him as governor.

Not to mention, Spitzer is the subject of low-brow jokes abounding the Interweb.

Gawker is even conducting a poll for the best Spitzer headlines. Some of the front-runners are "From Blowjob to No Job," "Loose Lips Sink Spitz," "Tainted Gov" and "Up Spitz Creek."

And perhaps most importantly, I'm pretty sure his wife Silda Spitzer is mad at him.

All of which is why, Gov. Eliot Spitzer is having a worse day than you.

Update: Eliot Spitzer officially resigned. His resignation will, reportedly, be effective Monday.

According to The New York Times, "Spitzer is the first governor of New York to resign from office since 1973, when Nelson A. Rockefeller stepped down to devote himself to a policy group, and the first to be forced from office since William Sulzer was impeached and removed from his post in 1913 in a scandal over campaign contribution fraud."

Lt. Gov. David Paterson, his replacement, will be the first African-American governor of New York, and, I think, the first legally blind governor in U.S. history.
