NEW YORK
Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer was cut from CNN's prime-time lineup on Wednesday, having spent less time as a TV host than he did as governor.


Spitzer, who resigned in March 2008, 14 months into his term as New York governor amid a prostitution scandal, began his nightly show on CNN in October.

CNN reshuffled its schedule move Anderson Cooper's flagship newscast into the tough 8 p.m. time slot and eliminate Spitzer's "In the Arena" program.

Spitzer signed off his show Wednesday, saying it would be his last. He ended with a quotation from President Theodore Roosevelt praising people who get "in the arena" to try to improve society, a passage he said inspired the name for his show. CNN talked to Spitzer about staying with the network as a commentator, but he decided not to. /snip

This bums me out. I'd like to see him replace the Tweety re-run on MSNBC, or maybe even get a show on Current? The more I watched him, the more impressed I became. He's a good guy.

1. He should go to Current TV. Maybe he was getting too tough on

banksters and they are pretty desperate right now. I watched a few of his shows on the economic collapse and wondered how long it would be before he got the memo to be quiet about. CNN continues to move to the right and Anderson Cooper although he tries, cannot hide his conservative leanings.

2. That could be why he chose not to be a guest consultant. I DO

think we need his voice SOMEWHERE!
