Eliot Spitzer, the former New York governor who resigned amid a prostitution scandal five years ago, will seek a return to public office in the New York City comptroller’s race this year.
The Democrat will begin collecting signatures for the campaign this week, spokeswoman Lisa Linden said. The deadline is Thursday.
“He’s throwing his hat in the ring,” Linden said.
Spitzer confirmed his plans in an interview with the New York Times, which first reported that he would run.
Spitzer becomes the second scandal-tarred New York politico to seek office in the Big Apple this year. Former congressman Anthony Weiner (D), who resigned after his own scandal, is running for mayor and has made progress early in his campaign. And earlier this year, former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford (R) won a congressional seat four years after an affair derailed his political career...

New Yorkers like to recycle their garbage.
Weiner and now Client #9.
NYC is pathetic.
Huma-Weiner-Spitzer?
Sounds like a food.
High class hookers ain’t cheap.And nobody would miss the occasional $5,000 missing from NYC coffers.A perfect job for Client #9....like an arsonist signing on with the Fire Department.
One suspects that they will both be successful in their bids with the foolish and ignorant "gimmie, gimmie" New Yorkian electorate.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
Thanks for the ping!
Just following the Marion Berry template. The party of criminals has a big tent for them.
Thanks for the laugh. My family was rooted in NYC. Fortunately they’re all gone now. Dear old dad had a business trip to NYC in the mid to late 70s and swore he’d never go again. And didn’t.
Rudy did an incredible job cleaning it up. With Weiner and Spitzer all that gets undone.

With Weiner and Huma in Gracie mansion, that would make Weiner decisive
in the suitability of the proposed Mosque at “Ground Zero “.
Thus , Huma , with known Muslim Brotherhood family connections, would be instrumental as a counselor
to her husband in the construction of this Mosque .
We already know that Muslims celebrate their victories by raising a Mosque.
Follow the money , and see how much “foreign money” comes in to support her husbands candidacy.
Look for the sources !
Look for the supporting media !!
Consider the alternatives ..
Ah, the jokes write themselves!

Did you ping this one out? I don’t recall seeing a NY ping for it or maybe I’m not on your NY ping list. If I’m not, please put me on. I want to keep up on CNY news.
Spitzer asks for forgiveness ..
but I have seen no repentance !
Involuntary removal from Public Office is NOT repentance
it is called consequence !
Anyone seen repentance ...?
Anyone ,.. Buehler ,.. Buehler ...?

LOL!
Spitzer also waged a personal vendetta against AIG and its then CEO, causing great damage to the once great company. Details can be found in the book The AIG Story by Greenberg (Section 2).
