Eliot Spitzer is back and he's talking. The thought of this, no doubt, brings a small shiver to the boardrooms of some of the perps walking around trying to figure out how to hide the money this week. Today Edward Liddy testified that there have been death threats made to or about executives who received bonuses, so no names will be put on the record, but these anonymous players must know that the jig is up in the land of easy-money. Isn't what to do a no-brainer for these great Americans?
Spitzer may be as "disgraced" as any anonymous sex loving Republican loser, but America is known for its great second acts, and we may be witnessing the curtain rising on Spitzer's.
Wow, interesting. I have new respect for the guy. And really, it wasn't a problem (with respect to his political position. His family, of course, would feel differently) that he couldn't keep it in his pants. The problem was that he couldn't restrain himself from pontificating on the morals of others. I still think he's a hypocrite for that.

I agree, Dennis. But hypocrites can still uncover criminals, eh? :)

Absolutely. Interesting the timing of the discovery of his hypocrisy, too.

I-n-t-e-r-e-s-t-i-n-g? O yes, almost divine in it's timing. I suppose we never know -- perhaps god is on the side of the power-structure as was, ya think? :)
