Governor Spitzer, do you really want to stay in office?

Ok… try this.

To hang in there…

Reiterate that this is a private family matter; doesn’t affect how you do your job.

Pledge to work harder than ever!

Blame the sex-starved prosecutors; accuse them of using Bush’s illegal spying program to catch you.

Charge them with abuse of power for leaking the identity of “Superdelegate Number 9.”

Next, send your surrogates out with these messages: “Everybody does it.” “Sex with a prostitute isn’t really sex — it’s just a transaction.”

And then send out your wife to claim that it’s a vast right-wing conspiracy.

In the end — at least among liberals — you could end up a hero!
