Gov. Jim Douglas today expressed surprise at the situation his New York counterpart is in and called it a shame, but he did not specifically call for Eliot Spitzer to resign, though the Republican Governors Association has.
"It's a decision for him to make," Douglas said.
The timing of Spitzer's apparent meeting with a highly paid prostitute had Douglas' mind whirring because the the National Governors Association met around the same time in Washington, but apparently Spitzer's encounter was a week or two before that meeting. Douglas said that is most decidedly not the atmosphere surrounding governors' meetings.
