Comics cash in on fallen politician

A PROMINENT politician, especially one known for a certain righteousness, is alleged to be a customer of high-priced call girls. For comics, that’s a hanging curveball over the plate.

New York governor Eliot Spitzer has become the butt of jokes faster than, well, faster than it would take a prostitute to ride Amtrak from New York to Washington.

“It’s just mind-blowing that he spent $4,300 on a hooker,” said New York comic Lisa Landry. “It just shows how high the cost of living is in New York. That same hooker would cost $50 in Newark.”
