Eliot Spitzer's gubernatorial legacy might not just include his inability to enact change of any sort, but his ties to an upper echelon call girl ring. Spitzer, who's been a staunch advocate of ethics reform, is said to have told senior staffers of his involvement in the prostitution ring. Without actually raising a finger, the Times points out an uncomfortable, shall we say, coincidence between the governor and the $5,500/hour Emperor's Club: "But a person with knowledge of the governor’s role said that the person believes the governor is one of the men identified as clients in court papers. The governor’s travel records show that he was in Washington in mid-February. One of the clients described in court papers arranged to meet with a prostitute who was part of the ring, the Emperors Club VIP on the night of Feb. 13." [NYT]

Update: Fox News claims its sources say Spitzer will resign his post, with David Paterson assuming his post. Matt Drudge, meanwhile, headlines the same conclusion, but links to this AP story that doesn't mention anything about a resignation. His brief statement makes no mention of his leaving office.
