Wait, wait…
…it’s a TIE!
The award goes to both the legislative and executive branches of government over the mishandling of the financial industry crisis!
But this just in… inspired by the sheer genius of the Olympic gymnastic judging system, in cases of ties, the Spitzer Award is now awarded according to the following formula:
[(# of buffoons involved) + (magnitude of current buffonery, on a scale of 1-100)] x (expectation of buffoonery based on past behavior, on a scale of 1-100)
And here’s how the math shakes out:
Congress: (435 + 100) x 89 = 47,615
White Hse: (1 + 100) x 100 = 10,100
Congress, congratulations, you lose!

How can we possible judge Spitzer when prostitution is so available on the net. I think you just need to look at sites like http://www.tnareview.com and eros.com to know how public it really is. Not making it legal is the problem
Hi Tommy. We can judge Spitzer b/c he held himself out as a holier-than-thou crime crusader. It’s not what he did, per se, it’s the hypocrisy of what he did.
