Viewpoint Extra: NY Governor linked to Prostitution ring!

Okay, so he's finally gone. Eliot Spitzer has finally decided the time was right to resign his post as New York Governor. Lt Governor David Paterson takes over. So I thought the time was right to use some video highlights from whatever sources were available.

First from MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, how Keith reported the story Monday, and fair play to him that he did report it.



And then from Tuesday's Countdown, the Worst Person award, which does relate... just!



Now, some of the Breaking News coverage from Monday's MSNBC daytime news cycle.



Next, the Monday announcement from Eliot Spitzer, that was long on reterick and short on detail.



Next, more coverage from after the announcement.



Now, fast forward to today, and the announcement from Eliot Spitzer of his resignation.



and finally in our video roundup, MSNBC analyses what happens from here on in.



The most interesting thing about this whole affair is just how little Eliot Spitzer has said. He's given very little detail about the allegations, and it would seem that he is preparing to face justice and probably serve time, so he is avoiding saying anything that would damage any defence he can come up with.

We'll keep our eyes on the video screens and let you know what else we find in this story.
