What a pair! CNN announced Wednesday that disgraced former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer will co-host a prime-time news program this fall with Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Kathleen Parker.

The roundtable-format program will air at 8 p.m. EST, replacing Campbell Brown's show.

Spitzer resigned as governor of New York in 2008 after he admitted to consorting with a call girl at a Washington hotel. As governor and New York attorney general before that, he was known as an aggressive liberal crusader with an abrasive, in-your-face personality.
Kathleen Parker and Eliot Spitzer
Parker describes herself as a "rational" -- read moderate -- conservative. She won the 2009 Pulitzer for commentary and her columns appear in 400 newspapers. CNN quoted Parker describing Spitzer as "one of the nation's most brilliant, fearless and original thinkers. With Eliot Spitzer as my co-host, Wall Street and Main Street will finally meet. It can't be boring."

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.

What is CNN thinking!? Yet one more reason I rarely watch this network anymore. A year ago they spent an inordinate amount of time on Michael Jackson after his death and I started watching less. Now, by hiring Spitzer they have really turned me off!
