As you’re aware, Eliot Spitzer’s been trying to talk AIG for the last couple weeks, which is what he would’ve been doing anyway but from a more authoritative post had he not fucked a hooker last year and been forced to resign from office. And thank god he was, otherwise we would never have had the opportunity to behold this exchange:
Lauer: You were not prosecuted for your actions. As a result we don’t know the extent of your actions. I just wonder if you could give me some ballpark, some estimations of how long this went on and how frequently this went on.
Spitzer: Not frequently…not long in the grand context of my life.

    Haha! Lauer’s such a fucking schmooze. “Ballpark.” Comedy gold.

    That is one handsome man. Almost as handsome as a certain Mr. Ratigan. Almost.

    I wanted my wife to “spice up” our marriage and the next day when I arrived home my wife met me at the door in a see through negligee. Trouble is, she was just getting home too!

    One day a banker at Lehman gets laid off and his wife picks him up from work in a limousine. Laid off banker says we can’t afford this! How will we ever retire? Wife says they can. How says the banker? Wife says remember 20 years ago how we agreed you’d give me $100.00 everytime we had sex? Remember?… You didn’t want me to get a “real” job? Well I saved all that money you gave me and invested it. I cashed out all my investments in 2006 and went to cash. We own the limousine company and many other small service businesses. Despite the economy, we are wealthy and can now retire in comfort. At that, the laid off banker breaks down in racking sobs. Wife says there, there honey…no need for tears. Laid off banker says through sobs, “After hearing what you’ve done honey I regret I didn’t give you all my business!!”

    Laid Off Banker sez to his wife – honey – I’ll never get another job –YOU’LL have to go to work.
    “But what can I do!?!? — I’ve always stayed home and had maids — I have mno marketable skills!”
    “OMG – you’re just going to have to become a prostitute”
    The wife cries but eventually reaslizedthat’s her only choice.
    THe next evening she gets home exhausted and bedraggled and gives her husband the take from the night’s work — $210
    ” Two hundred ten bucks?? So who gave you just $10??” askes the husband?
    “ALL of them” sez the wife

    The tag had me in tears. The comments not so much.

  14. Posted by guest | April 6, 2009 at 1:57 PM

    @13- that’s why one person’s paid to write and the others are not to comment.

    I was in stitches on the floor @ gremlins! Nice tag Bess!

  16. Posted by guest | April 6, 2009 at 2:12 PM

    @15-listen to the interview. spitzer says “these are gremlins I’ve been dealing with.” Pretty sure he meant to say “demons.”

    gremlin is Yiddish slang for hermaphrodite
