White Knight, Client 9

More "JohnHuang2" on Eliot Spitzer

Now it's clear why Spitzer said he saw "betrayals of the public trust" everywhere, since he was probably committing most of them. As attorney general and then as governor White Knight, Client 9 racked up so many enemies, he had to turn to big-ticket hookers to find love on Valentine's Day. Spitzer got caught on a wiretap trying to arrange a meeting with "Kristen" to discuss Spitzer's $4,300 Economic Stimulation Package. But am I going to mention any of this? No.

Puh-leeze. If I were gloating, wouldn't I mention how Mr. Moral Crusader, the same chap who trashed everybody's financial dealings and nuked reputations for kicks, is now reduced to apologizing to the public for paying a hooker big bucks and bargaining with prosecutors to stay out of the pokey?

Topping it all off, it's often said that it's not the act itself but what follows up afterward -- the reaching for the cigarette. It's a problem if you Google "anti-big tobacco lawsuits" and the name Eliot Spitzer pops up.
