Revelations Began in Routine Tax Inquiry
The rendezvous that established Gov.

There, in the Hauppauge offices of the Internal Revenue Service, investigators conducting a routine examination of suspicious financial transactions reported to them by banks found several unusual movements of cash involving the governor of New York, several officials said.

It Wasn't the Sex; Suspicious $$ Transfers Led to Spitzer
Officials Say Spitzer Is 'Client 9' in a Federal Complaint Against the Prostitution Ring
The federal investigation of a New York prostitution ring was triggered by Gov. Eliot Spitzer's suspicious money transfers, initially leading agents to believe Spitzer was hiding bribes, according to federal officials
It was only months later that the IRS and the FBI determined that Spitzer wasn't hiding bribes but payments to a company called QAT, what prosecutors say is a prostitution operation operating under the name of the Emperors Club.

I just find it interesting that apparently he was an advocate against organized crime and prostitution during his time as Attorney General, and apparently was one of the bright and up-come stars of the Democratic Party...

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.

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.

Spitzer's party affiliation is in the first few words of the 2nd sentence in this article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23561606/
Back to topic, idiot idiot idiot idiot schmuck. How stupid are these high-powered, high-profile guys that do this crap and think they'll get away with it? And WHY do they make the poor wife stand behind the louse as he makes his statement? Like they haven't already been humiliated enough. Look how drawn his poor wife looks in that picture! Excellent example to set for his 3 teenage daughters. Loser.

Pretty quick turn-a-round, but they can do it.
Good thing the writers strike is over.
