I'm taking the night off.
But why go a few hours without a funny jibe at a politician's expense? The Daily Show is on right now and they're doing a fine job on Spitzer. Now it's your turn. Sorry, it's the teacher in me:
Step 1: Watch this Campaign Video from 2006
Step 2: Contrast the Video's Message with the News Regarding Spitzer's Behavior
Step 3: Connect the "Road" Theme of the Ad & the News Via Pun/Pithy Witticism/Visual
Extra Credit:
Make a snide observation about the fact that
(1) Spitzer, a superdelegate, endorses Clinton, a woman with well-publicized experience with infidelity.
(2a) at the end of his ad, it says "Day One everything changes."
(2b) one of Clinton's favorite catchphrases is "Ready on Day One."
(2c) Obama insists we are "Ready for Change."
(2d) clearly ALL of them are involved in a slogan-plagiarizing ring.
Also, Andrew Sullivan posted a reader's comment from another blog that to me seemed so obvious and logical that it must have been hiding in plain sight:
Why is it illegal to sell what it is perfectly legal to give away?
Calling all of my lawyer friends! Is there any corollary to that anywhere else in the law?
Just wondering. O.K. Wasn't I taking the night off?
PS. On the list of superpowers most people wish for, the "ability to summon lawyers" isn't even in the top 100.

It should be noted that the same rule applies to favors from politicians. How's that for full circle?
I saw a comment that Glenn Greenwald noted to the effect that it's illegal for one person to pay or charge another for sex, unless someone sells a video of it.
