His wife is there again.
He’s said it’s a private failing.
It’s about his remorse. He’s “begun to atone.” Bess loves that. It’s a pop culture reference and a Jewish thing! This guy might have a future as a blogger. Or as Maureen Dowd.
My God this man is full of himself.
He apologizes for letting down those who believed in “what he tried to stand for.”
He’s bragging about his accomplishments.
And it's done. He has tendered his resignation.
It’s effective next week! Ten days after the news broke! Someone put a net over the Hudson to stop Spitzer from ditching his computer into the river!
Downside for citizens of New York: Another week of government paralysis. Chaos. Possible dark deeds.
Upside for DealBreaker: We get another week of Spitzer coverage!
Query: Is that Eliot’s best impression of contrition?

The downside for New Yorkers should be added to the upside category.

C'mon somebody now find the girl for the messier details....
Life is sweet and it was the best news for the entire week - oh yeah!

I'm betting that Eliot's Lt. Gov. David Paterson was lending a blind eye to these activities all along.

As a fellow Jew, I am calling on Spitzer to resign from the faith. A real Jew would never pay full retail price for a hooker.

We need answers from Kristen! Then the Hustler centerfold of her complete with interview of how small eliot's pecker is.
She said " is it in yet?"
Eliot " I am done."

Ok, someone explain to me where they find these women that are willing to stand by their husbands at press conferences where the guy announces he's been cheating on them? I'm pretty sure no women I know would stand there. Bess, what do you think?
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:15PM
At least he serviced his cuntry well...I'm guessing...given the #9 title and all.
At least he wasn't #4 1/2 or #5 1/4 or something demeaning.

His wife looked so pained. She didn't look ready to forgive or forget any time soon.
on a more salacious note, what about we let him off as long as he agrees to confess everything in a very public setting, with his girls as backup chorus.
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:20PM
In a weird way, Silda may be enjoying this.
For once, Eliot's pecker is on everyone else's tongues.

@AJ:
Are you fucking kidding me? She knows the fucking score. She's a fucking hey seed. He's worth $500 mil. If it weren't for him she'd be back in North Carlina husking tobacco plants. SHE was the one trying to get him to stay on. Marrying him is certainly the best thing that ever happened to her.
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:23PM
AJ 12:14 - She's already putting together the team for 'Silda Spitzer for AK Senate!' Why else do you think?

@ dungeon master-- you're a moron. girl graduated from harvard law prior to marrying her idiot husband and specialized in mergers, acquisitions and corporate finance at Skadden.

"UGA" -- Gasoline Index Fund -- any thoughts on this?

Dungeon Master
His wife was an attorney at Skadden Arps. Somehow I think she would be doing something above husking tobacco plants, like hand scrubbing the streaks out of my speedos.
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:28PM
Silda Wall Spitzer has a Harvard Law degree. I don't think she's a "hey seed." (Usually spelled "hayseed.") I hope she divorces him, gets the kids and a very generous settlement, goes back to practicing law, and finds someone new who will treat her better.
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:28PM
oh cock...just when the US was getting a european political system (ie where all the elected males hump like thirsty frottering dogs and have 2 mistresses) now you throw someone out with perfectly normal habits... albeit he over paid quite definitely... and will no doubt elect some holier than thou mormon type who shags his wife twice a year through holes in sheets.... boring.
Elect normality USA please, elect real people with real faults.
Ok Spitzer was a cock... but not for his sex scandal.
Posted by AJ , Mar 12, 2008 12:30PM
... must be one hell of a pre-nup then...
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:31PM
What are the bets on how much time will pass before either Silda or Elliot come out with a book? Best titles?
"How I Got Steamrolled"
"$4,300/Hr: How Silda Turned Me Into Client #9"
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:31PM
Yawn.... are we done with Spitzer yet? This is seriously getting annoying. I'll simplify it for everyone. (1) Spitzer screwed over Wall Street, (2) Spitzer screwed a hooker, (3) Spitzer got caught and resigned. So go ahead, cheer and get the hell on with life. I come here for colorful commentary and news on Wall Street, not gratuitous political scandal coverage.
Posted by The Dungeon Master , Mar 12, 2008 12:31PM
I know where she went to school and I stand by my statement. Ok, so if she hadn't married him she be married to so light weight MD making $3 mil a year who's fucking one of the analysts or associates anyway. She's lucky, period. He's got all the power in this situation, which means he gets to fuck who he wants. I'm if Silda, awesome name btw, doesn't like i'm sure he can find a model to marry. She better know her place.
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:33PM
....at least we know now that Mrs Spitzer doesnt do bare back anal with a few intermittent spanks....
Shes not gonna get many hits in the bars she frequents post divorce... and the first John she meets is gonna ask her for it and fall over laughing...
...wondering which bars I shoudl go visit...he he
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:34PM
@Dungeon Master...man are you an idiot! comments like that show how scared you are of females as you type from the basement of your mom's subsidized house. Silda gaduated from Harvard...worked in M&As and worked for Chase...she's rich too dumbass.
Lex
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:35PM
@dung master - you're an idiot. Silda is pretty hot, well educated and probably has her own dough. I hope she gets a few hundred mill - she deserves a whole lot more
Posted by The Dungeon Master , Mar 12, 2008 12:39PM
is she rich? Her dad was a "hospital administrator" whatever the fuck that is. She worked for Chase in INTERNAL LEGAL! are you fucking kidding me? Yeah, that's where the real hitters are for sure. Commercial banking, internal legal. She's a real prize.
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:42PM
...maybe she will do BBBJCIM instead... waddya say Silda?
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:46PM
Spitzer or Spritzer (the second is german for fizzy drink, or ejaculator)
too funny
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 12:46PM
@Guest: According to my Anglais-Francais dictionary it should be "turn a blind eye" and "lend an ear", not "turn a blind eye" you uneducated American "connard". At least here in France we do the right thing. I divorced my wife and married my "Kristin". Nicolas Sarkozy

Casse-toi pauvre con! Her name is Carla, not Sophie and the wife of the Presidnt de la Republique does not merde and has no boite-a-merde!
Sarko

pede
Posted by guest , Mar 12, 2008 1:34PM
@1.16, Sarko is definitely pede.
Overall I do not see how Carla = Kristen, Carla is a successful supermodel / chanteuse, Kristen is a prostie, and not even a "regular" prostie of ES.
