And the Difference Between Spitzer and Vitter Is ...

Translate Into:

Via CQ's  Ground Game, we get a look at a press release from the Republican Governors Association:

The Governor of New York should immediately resign from office and allow the people of New York to pursue honest leadership.  The American people are tired of corrupt and hypocritical politicians.  The Governor of New York is just another in the long list of politicians that have failed their constituents." – Nick Ayers, RGA Executive Director

Still waiting for the Republican calls for the resignation of David Vitter.

And speaking of Vitter, Ken Silverstein over at Harpers shares an email he received from a skeptical reader with an astute observation:

Amazing how Senator David Vitter’s name never leaked out of the Justice Department after the arrest of the D.C. Madam, but Eliot Spitzer’s name leaked out of the Justice Department within a week of the initial arrest in the Emperor V.I.P. case.

Amazing indeed.
