All the beat writers/reporters are saying that this is coming from way out in left field. None of them
heard anything about this!
I have wcbs880 http://www.wcbs880.com/ running live.

OK, who wants to guess how long before this makes it onto Law & Order?

I predict May sweeps.

Sad but very true.

And keep an eye on tomorrow tabs front pages.
New York Post, Daily News and Newsday will fighting each other for the best front page "Statement".

Judging from the very brief interlude between the outing of Larry Craig and his L&O docu-episode... they're writing it as we speak, filming during the next two weeks, and it will air sometime in April?

ETA: the more interesting question I think is what will be the last-seven-minute-twist in true L&O style?

Do I want to know what a prostitute has to do to earn $5,500 an hour? Probably not...

Nor does he as he "conducts his research."

Can I bring up a little something here: have you noticed a difference in where in the story party affiliation gets mentioned when a sex scandal, in particular, hits the news? When I read the Atlanta Journal Constitution article about Spitzer which was from an AP report it's a fifth paragraph kind of thing, but Larry Craig's was always a first mention, first paragraph kind of thing.

Ooops. Hand in the cookie jar.

No, but for a split second it made me rethink my career choice!! hehe I'm kidding :)

I suspect that if Spitzer wasn't really high profile and well known from a big state that his party affiliation would have been mentioned early is most of the coverage.

Generally it would be given with the first mention of his name.
