Eliot Spitzer’s statement, allegedly involved in a Prostitution Ring
Govenor Elliot Spitzer (D-N.Y.) stated in a very brief statement, today, that he had violated the obligations he had to his family and the people, though he offered nothing about a report that he was involved in a high-end prostitution ring (probably a good move overall). As a customer, I am assuming.
“I am disappointed that I failed to live up to the standard I set for myself,” Spitzer said. “I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family.”
Talk of him vacating his post is rampant.

Is it just me, or is Spitzer getting railroaded here. I know he has a ton of enemies.
I have heard the guy speak in person and thought he was a pretty cool cat. Defending the little guy and all. A Peoples Champ of sorts. (Come to think of it, I think I have a photo of myself and Spitzer somewhere.)
He should have been Governor of Amsterdam, then he wouldn’t run into these problems.
Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao VS Juan Manuel Marquez II Prediction
Manny Pacquiao (45-3-2, 34 KOs) of General Santos City, Philippines, rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez (48-3-1, 35 KOs) of Mexico City will take place on Saturday night at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
The fight fight between the two warriors ended in an action packed majority draw in 2004. Marquez was dropped three times in the first round by Pacquiao. Marquez came back and dominated many of the succeding rounds to force a draw on the judges cards.
This fight should begin where the first fight left off. Look for a quick start by both fighters. By the middle rounds, I think PacMan’s training with Freddie Roach will start to pay off.
I have see a few of Manny’s workouts at The Wild Card Boxing Gym in Hollywood, and he has never looked sharper. Pacquiao tends to throw straighter punches than Marquez and because of that he should be able to beat him to the punch.
Don’t take anything away from Marquez however. He is a true warrior that for sure will come to fight.
Manny’s sharpness in the later rounds are going to give him a close, rough and tumble unanimous decision.
