Spitzer Eyeing Possible Comeback, Considering Run for Office
NY Post ^ | 9/1/09 | Staff NY Post

Disgraced former Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been privately talking with friends about a possible comeback, and is considering a run for statewide office next year, several sources told The Post.

Less than 18 months after he left Albany in a prostitution scandal, Spitzer has held informal discussions in recent weeks about the possibility of making a bid for state comptroller or the US Senate seat currently held by Kirsten Gillibrand, sources said.

The hooker-happy Democrat has also discussed his own halfway-decent poll numbers in recent surveys, which have shown him more popular than Gov. Paterson, whose own numbers have tanked.

ABC News in NYC just said that Elliott Spitzer denies that he is eyeing a comeback ( that was during the Mark Levin Show newsbreak ).

Further evidence that politicians are the lowest form of life on the planet. Consider how much we abhor such behavior and how much other politicians of both parties excuse it, champion it, ignore it, and embrace it. They all are beneath contempt.

Modern politicians constitute an occupation populated almost entirely by people with a severe mental disorder.

Excuse me but isn’t Spitz responsible for Patterson being his second in state Gov. and now first in command of NYS.

Poor decisions are just that. Then and now.
