Julianne Moore Fumes Over Spitzer 'Embarrassment'

New York Governor Elliot Spitzer apparently won't be getting off easy with his celebrity constituents.

"A f---ing embarrassment" is how Julianne Moore, once a fan of the former attorney general, termed the politico's involvement in a prostitution ring – for which it is anticipated he will resign on Wednesday.

"I'm really pissed," the fiery New Yorker, 47, told PEOPLE during Tuesday's TSE flagship SoHo store opening. "I honestly don't care where or how people have sex, or with whom, but prostitution is illegal. For someone whose got such a reputation for having a real attitude towards crime, you have to walk the walk. I'm sorry."

Meanwhile, TV hosts were more than happy to have a new political punching bag for their monologues. For instance:

• Stephen Colbert remained deadpan on his Comedy Central Colbert Report, saying of Spitzer, "I sat next to the guy three times and I didn't pick up on any of this, and I usually have excellent whore-dar."

• "They're talking about impeaching Eliot Spitzer if he doesn't step down," said Late Show's David Letterman, "and I'm thinking, 'Whoa, a Democrat being impeached for extramarital sex. Well, happy days are here again!' "

• Spitzer, who was accused of being Client 9 for the call-girl ring, was even topic one with Late Night host Conan O'Brien, who joked, "Not surprisingly, clients 1 through 8 were Charlie Sheen."

• Finally, The View co-host Joy Behar opined, "Aren't you sick of men? Viagra is destroying our government."

	i dont really get why he has to resign....It's not like he did something against the government or the people....just his wife. It is illegal and he should prosecuted for that, but I don't see why he should resign. (Reply to this)(Thread)(Expand)

	I hate hypocrites. Don't preach to me about not to do this or avoid that and then do it yourself secretly. Also, prostitution needs to be legalized in the States. The current situation is just ridiculous. (Reply to this)(Thread)(Expand)
