A Future Judge of the Day?
So Governor Eliot Spitzer is scheduled to speak in half an hour. We'll cover that when it happens. Meanwhile, a tipster points out:
Little notice has been given so far to the other "Client Xs" in the federal complaint at the center of the Spitzer prostitution scandal. But one story semi-buried in the Post this morning certainly perked up our ears at the Court of Appeals!The money quote:
"The feds' sensational criminal complaint listing 10 'clients' allegedly includes a top New York judge and even a former law-enforcement official and longtime pal of the disgraced governor, two sources said."
So even if Governor Spitzer exits the political stage today, the fun may not be over yet. The Emperors Club may be a gift that keeps on giving.

Firstness? Sadness.
Please please please let it be Kimba Wood.

betting pools on the future judge of the day? Calabresi anyone?
Kerik? Anyone want some action on this?
Calabresi is based in Connecticut, so he's not exactly a New York judge even though he travels to Manhattan for 2d Cir. oral arguments.
there goes the argument for judicial pay raises!
NY Hookers to 190!
9:05... see?
I bet it will be a state rather than federal judge. "New York judge" suggests Court of Appeals to me.
At these prices, the judge should be pretty easy to figure out. Which NY Judges have the personal resources to afford such an expensive call girls? $5k/hr does tend to limit who can afford?
11:28,
I kind of doubt the Post is sufficiently sophisticated to appreciate the distinction between state and federal judges. "New York judge" could easily refer to either.
ATL says "The Post" has a story on this, but links to something called "The New York Post." What gives?
It was established in a hilarious flame war yesterday that anybody who is anybody knows that "The Post" refers unambiguously to The Washington Post, even when discussing a scandal in New York, which has its own Post of sorts.
Why isn't anybody talking about this??!! Please!
1. Calling it "the Post" was in the blockquote. So it's the reader's language, not Lat's.
2. The citation to the source at the end makes clear that "the Post" in question is the "New York Post."
11:59-
No such thing was established. Nor could it be. It is a fact of common usage that in NYC, "the Post" almost always refers to the NY Post. In a crowd of fed soc toolbags and wannabe politicos it might refer to the Washington Post. But the typical new yorker has not even seen a copy of the Washington Post in the last decade, much less bothered to refer to the crap it prints.
"The Post" = New York Post
"WAPO" = Washington Post
Vindication.
Kerik and Lowe.
OK, let me see if I have this straight: When someone just says "The Post" they are probably referring to the New York Post, which is sort of a snooty, upscale, liberal-leaning paper -- right?
Is that the Post published by Penn Law School and owned by JoPa, or is it the other one?
No, No, NO!!! The Daily Pennsylvanian is the student newspaper of Penn State University. You can get the paper either in Happy Valley (aka "Main Campus") or on the Philly Campus, which is where the law school is.
Penn State and its law school, PENN law, have NOTHING to do with "The Post," or it's red-headed stepsister, the left-leaning, liberal rag, called the Washington Post.
No, it's the Post Office.
That Tanya pimp is pretty decent looking. At least they're female pimps.
