Spitzer Bombshell Apparently a Minor Story

Today the huge story about NY Governor Elliot Spitzer and his involvement with a prostitution ring came to light. I was curious how some of the media would cover this. For some reason I was particularly curious to see what Keith Olbermann would do with it on his often-raving-loud one-hour show from 8-9 EST. Well... it was quite interesting... I missed the first two minutes of his show, so likely he did mention it briefly then. However, he then went on and on about relatively minor Hillary vs. Obama drama items... for about 30 minutes! He didn't really cover the Spitzer bomb until after the half-way point in the show. I think it was big-story #3 on his program, and he only spent about 5-7 minutes on it. Doesn't this strike anyone else as strange?

I'll also note that the Atlas Society was quick to send out a brief blurb on this news, noting correctly:

It is ironic that New York Democrat Governor Eliot Spitzer has had his undeserved reputation for high moral standards tarnished by his sexual escapades which, while perhaps sleazy, did not harm any of us. In fact he deserved our moral scorn for his assault on productive individuals and flaunting of the rule of law when he was New York attorney general, done arrogantly in the name of "morality."

I had the exact same thoughts while watching the coverage tonight.
