Spitzer Scandal Hits Small Screen Tomorrow

Posted May 20, 08 11:56 AM CDT in Arts & Living,  Crime & Courts,  Politics 

(Newser) – If disgraced New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer was ever a Law & Order fan, he probably isn't anymore. Tomorrow’s ripped-from-the-headlines season finale on NBC tells a fictionalized version of the sensational sex scandal that doomed Spitzer’s political career, the New York Post reports. Actor Tom Everett Scott guest-stars as a charming governor who is caught planning a rendezvous with a hooker.
