This Just In From Client #9

Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer is doing whatever he can to get back into the spotlight…heck, any spotlight for that matter. His latest remarks come on the heals of the Senate take over in Albany, NY.

“Yes, the Senate takeover is being orchestrated by a rogue’s gallery of politicians and their associates, grabbing for power in a base, self-interested way,” the disgraced ex-governor wrote in his latest column on Slate.com.

“If you look at the upheaval from a different angle, it begins to make sense and to seem like a step forward in New York politics.”

“The use of that power by two Democratic senators, though perhaps for questionable purposes, is emboldening others to use their leverage to bargain for worthwhile causes,” like same-sex marriage,” wrote Spitzer.

Or the legalization of prostitution, perhaps.

When Barney Walks

U.S. Representative Barney Frank loves to be in front of the camera answering questions. Well, actually, he likes to be in front of the camera when he can answer questions he likes. Ask him something he doesn’t like, and he walks.

Like he did just now on CNBC.

Our representatives in congress act like kids on an elementary school playground. If they don’t get their way, they take their ball and go home.
