Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Barry, as a criminal defense attorney who had to deal with Spitzer's office, I'd be lying if I said I'm not laughing my ass off over this one; his sanctimony was off the charts. I truly feel for the guy's wife and daughters as they are the only true victims here.

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>I don't know if this is true or not, but the way I hear it, Spitzer used to just pick up his hookers on the streets (like most good New Yorkers) but...<br /><br />He began monitoring this board (probably to keep an eye on Lichtman). He became enthralled by the gospel of the Dorskind Group. He saw opportunity where others did not. He decided to pay more for the finest quality available. Whilst this was going on, the FBI was listening. <br /><br /><br />Thank God they caught him before he started taking out his own full page "want" ads.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Jim, good analysis. Unfortunately, Spitzer got me in the end. Because of his boorish behavior, I am required to wake up early tomorrow morning to do repetitive interviews about him. He's such a selfish bastard that he is now costing me my sleep. He'll pay for it tomorrow morning, however.

MVSNYC's Official Thread About Nothing
 

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Well, it has been a fun day -- I did WINS and WABC radio interviews in the morning, the Michael Reagan radio show tonight and some TV tomorrow including a Canadian show. Basically, I provided some background on Spitzer and what an incredibly judgmental and unforgiving prosecutor he was, who tried cases in the media in order to boost his career. I was especially disgusted that he made his poor wife attend the press conference with him yesterday. My feeling was that since he did this to himself -- and humiliated her by doing it -- the least he could have done was allow his wife to sit this one out. I did point out, however, that this is a man who is truly dedicated to the State of NY because, after all, he refused to sample the hookers of any other state when he traveled out of town and insisted that only NY product be provided to him.

MVSNYC's Official Thread About Nothing
 

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Brian, he's completely delusional. He actually thought that the public would forgive him -- which is absurd considering a) he barely barked out an apology during his 30 second press conference yesterday; and b) his approval rating was about 35% BEFORE this news hit. Apparently he's using his one bargaining chip left -- resigning the governorship -- in a negotiation with the feds on criminal charges. It's also come out that he spent upwards of 80K on hookers and liked to have sex without a condom. Not sure that a guy with judgment like this is fit to be a local dogcatcher let alone Governor of NY.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Brian, there's not much known about Patterson other than the fact that he is legally blind. A Lt. Gov. in NY is never thought of as a realistic major political power; it's really just a minor job -- until now, of course.<br /><br />As for Spitzer's inability to be embarrassed, this is what happens I suppose when your parents give you everything in life from Day 1. Arrogrance, entitlement and never having to say you're sorry. I would think that considering he's destroyed his family, humiliated his wife and has zero politcal future, the prudent thing to do was to resign immediately and work on gaining the trust of his family back. But who's to say what is in the mind of a guy who spends half a Wagner on hookers and doesn't like to wear condoms with them?
