Ah, the esteemed Mr Spitzer…
For all that’s been said about the recent Government Official Paid Too Much For Poonani affair, I can’t help but to notice a rather conspicuous absence:
Quotable lines.
I hardly expect anyone to top Marion Barry’s infamous bitch set me up (which, by the by, we all know Bill Clinton must have uttered once or twice) … but I’d like to think Eliot Spitzer could still give us something worth repeating. We all read the news, we saw the terse statement, and expected more. Came home empty-handed, we did.
This is the same man who, having busted firm after firm, having struck fear in the hearts of publicly-traded companies everywhere, gave us:
Never write when you can speak.
Never speak when you can nod.
-and never put anything in e-mail.
Why be so tight-lipped about spending time with rented lips? Show a little emotion, really!
Perhaps he’s following his own advice, in which case I’d prolly add, “don’t get caught with posh hookers” to that list… but if I were smart enough to say that, I’d prolly be governor of New York. -and so would our recently-deposed friend …
