Lake George

Eliot Spitzer just fielded questions from reporters at Lake George, where the main topic was still Alan Hevesi's use of a state employee to chauffeur his wife.

I asked Spitzer, the attorney general of the state of New York, if it was "fair to say it happened on your watch."

Spitzer: "What happened on my watch?"

Me: "His misuse of a public employee as a private chauffeur."

Spitzer: "My watch? No."

The Newsday blog has a nice dispatch from the meeting of the NY Association of Counties in Lake George, featuring a jaunty Christopher Callaghan - the GOP's new, post-Pirro Great Hope for 2006 - and a contrite Alan Hevesi.

Callaghan: "It's great to be among good honest folk and away from Albany, city of mandates, regulations, chauffeurs."

Hevesi: "I'm taking a pounding and it's well deserved."
