Today, we all found out that a guy who looked like he used prostitutes did in fact use prostitutes, albeit apparently high-class ones.
That guy being New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, duh.
I think it's (mildly) interesting (for a journalist) to note that three major papers-The New York Times, the New York Post and the Washington Post-all used almost identical headlines:
Wash Post: "NY Governor Linked to Prostitution Ring"
NY Post: "Spitzer Linked to Prostitution Ring"
NY Times: "Spitzer is Linked to Prostitution Ring"
Come on, New York Post, that's the best you can do? How about: "Hypocrite Gov. Indulged in High-Class Whores?" I think the question mark would maintain the Post's integrity.
