Ripped from the headlines indeed.........
AP:
A scandal involving a New York governor and a prostitute has the makings of a classic ripped-from-the-headlines plot for NBC's "Law & Order."
But Wednesday's season finale about a governor and a call girl isn't about Eliot Spitzer, cautions series star Sam Waterston — although it's fair to say anyone, even Waterston, could get a bit confused.
Asked recently if the show was dramatizing Spitzer's story, the actor replied, "That's what we're shooting right now." Then he quickly offered a clarification.
"I shouldn't say we're doing the Eliot Spitzer story. I should say we're doing a story about a politician who gets into trouble because of sexual questions ... involving prostitution," Waterston told The Associated Press.
