MARCH OF JOURNALISM NEWS – AT 7:59 P.M. ET:  CNN, not exactly wealthy in the ratings, is going rogue with a new show featuring a disgraced governor.  No word yet on whether the governor's former, er, business associates will be involved, but it will be quite a show if they are:

Eliot Spitzer, until very recently known primarily as the disgraced former governor of New York, will formally re-emerge as a regular television personality as the host of new prime-time news discussion program on CNN next fall.

The news network announced Tuesday that Mr. Spitzer would be joined by the Pulitzer Prize-winning conservative columnist for The Washington Post, Kathleen Parker, in a format that the CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein is describing as a “roundup of all the best ideas” of the day.

I wonder if hiring prostitutes would be considered a "best idea," since that is what Spitzer did while governor of New York. 

Spitzer has always wanted to be president.  The governor thing got buried between the sheets.  Maybe his new role as TV host will fare a little better...if he can keep his hands off Kathleen.
