Check it out! After a verrrrry long dry spell I decided to plant my face in front of a camera in honor of a guy who has inexplicably become the host of a national cable “news” show.

The problem with Eliot Spitzer being given the seat at CNN in prime time is not that he hired a hooker. Or liked to have sex with his long black dress socks on. It’s that he basically abused his authority as Governor the same way Richard Nixon did as President.

Remember Troopergate? Spitzer’s Administration directed the state police to spy on his archnemesis, Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno. When it came to light Spitzer said he took “full responsibility” for the actions of his staff while proclaiming he knew nothing about what they’d done. Only after he’d resigned with his tail firmly between his legs did it become apparent that he lied.

He’s never answered for that. He’s never allowed himself to be grilled. I think as an act of courage he should bring NY Post Albany bureau chief (and tormentor of Governors) Fred Dicker on the new show as a guest. That would be some great TV.
