OH HELL, EL.....

Our fair city was rocked by scandal yesterday as our "tough-as-nails" governor, ELIOT SPITZER found himself embroiled in a controversy so heinous, that he may have to step down as the state's top executive. What did our fair governor do? He got caught up in a federal wiretap, while partaking in extra-curricular activities with a prostitute. Ouch.

It's bad enough that you get caught cheating on your wife. It's even worse when you're caught on a federal wiretap doing such things. If you follow AFRIKA BAMBATTA'S "RULES OF CREEPIN" (copyright 1996), the first rule of thumb is to "never leave a paper trail"... To complicate matters even more, this is a guy who based his campaign on clearing out corruption, smashing prostitution rings, and running the government the right way. That last part is the stinger that will ultimately come back to haunt him. As a result, everyone in NY State government is calling for his head. The media is in a feeding frenzy, stalking him at his home and his office like the villagers chasing after Frankenstein.

You have to feel for the poor wife and the three teenage daughters who were probably blind-sided by all of this unwanted attention. Many people (myself included) were genuinely shocked by the news. ELIOT SPITZER, CREEPIN'? Say it ain't so! I guess you can't take anyone for granted these days.

In the meantime, it looks like NY State will be hanging out a shingle for a job opening in the next few days. One interesting note: The Lieutenant Governor, DAVID PATTERSON is slated to take over office if/when SPITZER steps down. If/when that takes place, NY State will have made history by having its first African-American Governor. As a matter of fact, PATTERSON will make history twice: He will also be the first legally blind Governor of New York.

Strange times in New York.
