Chutzpah: Client Nine Weighs in on AIG, the Company He Set Out to Destroy
By Debbie Schlussel
If you were an attorney general and then a governor–who moralized against everyone else, tried to destroy companies, and then got caught being, well, not so moral–you’d think you’d have some shame and disappear from public life or comment.
But not Client 9. Remember him?
That’s right. Eliot Spitzer–the man who helped put AIG in the place where it is today, through huge government interference in the wrong ways–is weighing in.
Yup, him again. He’s BAAAAAACK.
Talk about chutzpah. That’s an area of the peanut gallery we really don’t need to hear from . . . unless he’s providing similarly lecherous men tips on the best call girl outfits.
In these hard economic times, he apparently mistakes what it means to be an advocate for “working” women.
This guy repeatedly sought the headlines for harassing these companies that are now in deep trouble. Yet, he didn’t catch or stop any of the problems that were festering. He made them fester and, in many cases helped create them.
Make no mistake: Eliot Spitzer’s advice is not part of the solution. It was part of the problem.
Eliot Spitzer? Our first Jewish president? (It was in his dreams–besides that other stuff.)
