Steamrolled
I got a chance to meet Eliot Spitzer last year.
We shot a short interview with him at his East 40th Street office for the Children's Hospital at Montefiore.
I am a hardcore Democrat, and I had really looked forward to the shoot,
primarily because I admired some of the things he had been able to achieve as a prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. Especially all of his work exposing the widespread corruption on Wall Street.
However, I must say that when I met the man in person, I found him rather arrogant, and not at all what I expected.
I really don't feel sorry for him.
I also don't feel much sympathy for the high priced call girl he slept with on Valentine's Day eve, Ashley Alexandra Dupre. (Pictured Below) Like Eliot, she made a conscious choice to go down the road that she did.
This guy has certainly fucked up a very promising career, but I think more importantly he has screwed up his entire life.
The four people I feel most sympathy for are his wife Silda and their three young daughters.
Can you imagine what must be going on in the Spitzer household?
I bet you can cut the tension with a knife.
However, there is a famous saying in Washington.
The only thing that can end your career in politics is to get caught with a dead girl, or a live boy.
By those standards, Eliot might still have a chance.
I think his next obvious step is to run for President.
If he does decide to run ...
I think I have the perfect VP choice for a dream ticket.

i so relish in your p.o.v.
post more
my only "complaint"
and as for spitzer:
1-you are remarkable, no background
check or stat-connect required
so he obviously is shady, weak
or worse...both!
and
2: his wife is most likely an enabler...his daughters, on the
other hand...they are the real victims!
