Spitzer resigns after stunning fall from power
ALBANY, N.Y. - New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned on Wednesday, completing a stunning fall from power after he was nationally disgraced by links to a high-priced prostitution ring.
"I cannot allow for my private failings to disrupt the people's work," he said, with his wife at his side at his Manhattan office. “I’m deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me."
I'd love to know just how many calls from high-ranking Democrats at both the state- and federal level it took to get Spitzer to resign. Up until this morning it looked like he might try to ride this out...
That is all.

I would guess that "surprise" would fall somewhere between "burnt umber" and "chartreuse"?
According to the NYTimes, even his wife was trying to get him to ride it out.
PS: I think "surprise" is somewhere's between periwinkle and blueball.
O/T but our old buddy Jay Caruso is now officially a gun-blogger:
