Former New York governor Eliot Spitzer’s life just gets more and more complicated. Which is what happens when you pay women to take your pants off, isn’t it? Spitzer has now been named as a client by a famous madam, Kristin Davis (not to be confused with the Kristin Davis of Sex and the City fame) who was arrested yesterday after her high-priced call girl ring, Wicked Models, was taken down by New York City vice cops.

David Paterson has learned a thing or two from the former New York state governor's sex scandal: He’s not keeping any skeletons in his closet.
On the same day he was sworn in, Paterson, 53, admitted to having an extramarital affair.
He tells New York’s Daily News that he began seeing “a woman other than my wife” for a few years beginning in 1999 when his marriage of 15 years “appeared to be going sour.”
Paterson insists he did not use government or campaign funds to pay for his romantic getaways.

If the GOP really believes that merely counseling people about end of life planning equals death panels and pushing euthanasia, I can't wait to hear how they spin this
After the mortgage business imploded last year, Wall Street investment banks began searching for another big idea to make money. They think they may have found one.
