Weiner-Spitzer Double-Team May Sound Distasteful, But New York City Might Eat It Up

Well, we had Captain Hardon announce for Mayor and then leap to a good-sized lead (25% to 20%) over his strongest rival.

Now disgraced whoremonger Elliot Spitzer is running for NYC comptroller. I can't wait for these guys to menage with NYC's finances.

And if there's anyone you want minding the city's funds for excess, it's a guy who spends $3000 a night for a whore ($80,000 over "several years").

Oh, by the way, on that: I was trying to track down how much Spitzer spent and found an old Gawker piece, spinning the number, claiming that the Media Is Blowing This All Out of Proportion because it wasn't $5000 a night, it was at most $4700 (and $200 of that was a tip, not a charge), and it's ridiculous to say it's $5000 per hour, because it works out to a much-more-understandable $750 per hour.

Well, at those costs, what are we waiting for? Let's get some high-priced callgirls.

I don't want to link them but if you search for $4700 Spitzer, Dupre, and $750 per hour you should find that.

Egregious.

Anyway, I think Spitzer is counting on the "It's only $750 per hour" Gawker demographic for his new hustle.

“I love public service,” Spitzer told the Daily News. “I believe in it, and hope I will be given a second chance.

This should make for a spirited debate:

In an odd twist, the ex-governor — who resigned in 2008 amid a high-priced call girl scandal — will be competing against Kristin Davis, the ex-madam who says she supplied him with hookers and who is running on the Libertarian line.

Yes, the madam who supplied him with whores is running against him.
