New York Governor Eliot Spitzer resigned this morning.
Much has been written about him this week and in the past. I'll just mention that he should have resigned (and not waited two days to do it), so this is good for the people of New York. Messing around with high-class prostitutes is a terrible idea for a politician, since he can become a target of blackmail by the organized crime figures who run the operations.
Also, as former and current Mercer employees have noted, he's a bad guy for whom no one is shedding any tears. It's even hard to be sorry for his wife, as she's been mentioned as pushing him on Monday to not resign and thus stay on as governor. By abusing his power as state Attorney General in attacking various corporations, he ensured that despite a record margin of victory in the 2006 election, he wouldn't have much of a base of support if things went south for him.
Good riddance to an arrogant, abusive man.

Indeed! Good riddance to bad rubbage! Now, if he could just refund me the few grand he cost me in MMC stock... It's about the same price as a blow job, I'm guessing.
Spitzer is such an ass. I hope that prostitute was a "scraper"
