Eliot Spitzer Resigns 12 Mar 2008 Gov. Eliot Spitzer, reeling from
revelations that he had been a client of a prostitution ring,
announced his resignation today at his headquarters in Manhattan.
Mr.

Spitzers resignation is to be effective Monday, and Lt. Gov. David
A.

Paterson is to be sworn in to replace him. [Too bad he didn't start
an illegal war or waterboard anyone - he'd be free and clear. BTW,
I am scheduled to be a guest on The Thom Hartmann Program (Air
America Radio) TODAY, at approximately 12:30 PM EDT. Laura Flanders
filling in for Thom today. --Lori Price]

Republicans uphold Bush veto of anti-torture bill 11 Mar 2008
President [sic] George W. Bush's fellow Republicans in Congress on
Tuesday upheld his veto of a bill to ban the CIA from subjecting
enemy prisoners to interrogation methods denounced by critics as
torture. A largely party-line vote of 225-188 in the Democratic-led
House of Representatives fell short of the needed two-thirds majority
to override the president.
