This is the lead paragraph in this mornings featured Associated Press story on AOL:
"Gov. Eliot Spitzer's role in a prostitution scandal grew out of a public corruption inquiry triggered by his movement of large amounts of cash from several bank accounts to one that operated by a call-girl ring, a law enforcement official said Tuesday."
The Associated Press truly is despicable. The above sentence is simply not true. Spitzer's "role" "grew out of" the fact that he patronized a prostittution ring--period. He was CAUGHT because of the public corruption investigation.
I am amazed that Governor Spitzer did not try the old "undecover sting" ploy (it once worked for Cullen Davis and others). After all, Spitzer seems to have brought down a major prostitution ring--prostitution rings being something that Spitzer himself has called (as a prosecutor) a major scourge on society, often connected to organized crime.
