Hot Off the Press: Spitzer scandal editions

New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's use of a high-end prostitution service was huge news in the state. How Gannett newspapers (and the New York Post!) looked this morning:

The Democrat and Chronicle was among a handful of newspapers urging -- or nearly urging -- Spitzer to resign. "Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been too vague about his role in a high-class prostitution ring,'' the paper said. "He must step forward today to flatly disavow implications that he was involved in the illegal activity or resign."

The Journal News in White Plains . . .

The Poughkeepsie Journal . . .

And the New York Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., which also owns the Fox News network.

    The Journal News of Westchester wins top prize for dullest Spitzer headline of the day.

    God, I would love to work at the Post just for the headline-brainstorming sessions.

    That cover deserves top billing when the Newseum reopens.
