As you may have heard about through the similarly dignified way the United States media reports on the significance of yet another governmental sex scandal, New York governor Eliot Spitzer is linked by payments totaling a few thousand dollars from various bank accounts to an expensive call-girl service. As Michael Lando of international.jpost.com writes, in one instance:

Spitzer allegedly paid for a call girl to take a train from New York to Washington - a move that opened the transaction up to federal prosecution because she crossed state lines. The governor has not been charged, and prosecutors would not comment on the case. A Spitzer spokesman said the governor had retained a large Manhattan law firm.

The case started when banks noticed the frequent transfers from several accounts and filed suspicious activity reports with the Internal Revenue Service, the law enforcement official told the AP. The accounts were traced back to Spitzer, prompting public corruption investigators to open an inquiry.

It's comical to think that had Spitzer been the governor of Nevada and spent time in Elko or Las Vegas (and of course, not been married), his frequenting of expensive call-girl services would have been legal. Gov. Spitzer is now facing intense pressure to resign due to the national attention this scandal has received. If Spitzer had not crossed state lines, staying within New York, there would not have been a federal investigation nor the media attention that will most likely result in his resignation. This would be the time for the Democratic party to take a page out of the Republican playbook as to how to keep explosive, heterosexual sex scandals from surfacing.

On the bright side, Spitzer's resignation might mean one less super-delegate for Hillary Clinton.
