New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, otherwise known underground as Client 9, has formally announced his resignation from office. Earlier this week, FBI agents discovered that Spitzer was involved in a large scale, international prostitution operation.

When the news broke out, Spitzer’s image as a crusader fighting against corruption was shattered. Ironically, Spitzer often criticized violent video games, the Grand Theft Auto series in particular, for allowing players to “simulate having sex with a prostitute.”

Good riddance.
