Eliot Spitzer wants New Yorkers to give him the one thing he has never shown anyone else: forgiveness.

[mosaicwolf]

These liberal elitists are incredible!

Putman Mutual Funds went to Spitzer, for help, with a large client who was moving funds around wildly, causing huge expenses to Putnam for the “free” exchanges under their contract with a Labor Union Pension Fund.

Spitzer refused to help, saying it was Putnam's responsibility to figure it out.

Then Spitzer decided to prosecute Putnam for these expenses as they were passed on to all customers.

Sadly they will.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me...

[Mr. K]

So, spitzer was doing the same thing he was prosecuting people for doing... and he wants us to let him off the hook for that?

[Buckeye McFrog]

He built his street cred by smacking around EEEEEEVIL bankers. IMO it won’t be hard for him to do it again. That allowed the Fake Indian to overcome all her baggage and attain the Senate.

In America 2013 trash have no shame, no self imposed limits on their behavior. In healthy times a politician guilty of this man’s acts would have retired to a well deserved retirement out of the public eye. Today they wear their vice as a ‘Badge of Honor!’ Because they are vile they feel they deserve our votes. They do not exhibit our virtues but our vices.

These liberal elitists are incredible!

Client #9 figures any electorate that elected him for governor, elected The Weiner as representative, and elected Hillary to the senate twice will fall for anything.

And if Anthony Weiner gets elected he’ll be known as,

Mayor Crotch

[E. Pluribus Unum]

New York deserves no better than Eliot Spitzer.

They were made for each other.

[aimhigh]

If Spitzer's wife can trust, then cant we all?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Not necessarily. She could be motivated by a lust for power, glamor,celebrityhood. Women are attracted to men seeking and/or holding office.

Putnam Investments once went to Spitzer for advice. They had a client/customer doing things they did not like but did not know how to stop it under their contract with the Union Pension Fund.
Spitzer told Putnam to “get lost” or that it was their problem.
About a year later, Spitzer filed criminal charges against Putnam, based on the information Putnam placed in Spitzer’s hands in the first place. The man is a snake.
