Eliot Spitzer may have little to show for the brief 14 1/2 months he served as New York’s governor. But one thing he did accomplish was to clarify the rules regarding the use of state resources for personal trips.
As he looks to resurrect his political career by running for city comptroller, that effort will come back to haunt him.
After the prostitution scandal broke, federal prosecutors ultimately declined to pursue charges against Spitzer. As Charles Gasparino reported in Friday’s Post, this was partly because he resigned as governor, and partly because at the time they had “no evidence” he’d misused public funds.
But from Gasparino’s column, it sure seems likely that Spitzer’s trip to Washington in February 2008 was meant primarily as a date with prostitute Ashley Dupré. His testimony before Congress about bond insurance was arguably a cover story cooked up at the last minute to make the trip seem official.

RATS is as RATS does...
I am the registered trustee on my uncle’s house in Queens. He’s now in a nursing home. I’m tempted to register to vote from his address and vote for both Weiner and Spitzer in the primary and general. NYC needs a lesson before it becomes Detroit and these two perverts could provide it. It would be more entertaining than standing in line to vote for Nassau County Executive.
Thanks for the ping!
LOL!
