NEW YORK - Resigning won’t spare Eliot Spitzer from the heat of a criminal investigation - federal prosecutors must still decide what to do with the case of the disgraced New York governor and the prostitutes. A law enforcement official said Spitzer’s high-powered defense team was believed to be negotiating a plea deal with prosecutors over his connection to a high-end prostitution ring, but attorneys would not comment Thursday about the discussions. “Corruption cases often pose a dilemma for the prosecutor,” said Evan Barr, a private practice lawyer who once handled such cases for the same Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office that is now weighing how to proceed with Spitzer.

“If you charge a public figure under an obscure or rarely used legal theory, the critics will say the prosecution is politically motivated; if you decline to charge under the same circumstances, the critics will say the prosecutor is going easy on the would-be defendant because he or she is a prominent person,” Barr said. The legal snarl was being untangled as Lt. Gov. David Paterson prepared to take over the state following Spitzer’s spectacular fall from power.

NEW YORK — The offers are already coming for the woman at the center of the Eliot Spitzer call-girl scandal. She’s wanted on the pages of Penthouse. The magazine has been trying to reach out to 22-year-old Ashley Alexandra Dupre, but has not succeeded.

Penthouse Magazine Group president and publisher Diane Silberstein says Penthouse would “love to have her in the magazine” and would consider offering her a cover shot. Dupre has been identified in news reports as the prostitute whose hotel-room tryst with the New York governor led to his resignation Wednesday. Silberstein says the aspiring musician sounds like she’s very interesting and talented and has a great story to tell. She adds that the magazine would make a photo shoot worth her while.

Is Spitzer’s apology enough? Should he resign? 1. RE: COMMENT 50. “I think if we ask every man, in a high level executive or political position, to resign for this type of indiscretion, there won’t be many left to run Corporate America or political office.” ………….AND THIS WOULD BE A BAD THING???

It’s absurd that they ask for his resignation IN A PROSTITUTION RING! It’s not like he politicized the justice department, suppressed scientific data, illegally spied on citizens, or engaged in a war based on faulty intelligence. No, nothing like that. He just paid for sex. Besides he’s governor, not some deity incarnate.
