Spitzer A Bigger Scum Bag Than Originally Thought

[Sam Spade]

I was reading the NY Post today, as I always do for amusement, and there was a little snippet on Page Six saying that Gilda (Spitzer's wife) is rumored to have known about his prostitution habit this whole time and didn't really care about it.  Just FYI.

Also, I am now willing to place serious money that Bloomberg is running for Governor in 2010, very serious money on it.

As an Indy, presumably?

You can run on multiple lines in NY - if he wanted the Republican line as well as the Independent line in NY (or even the Liberal line), the Republicans would gift-wrap it and send it to him.  Don't know what he would call himself, however.  Conservative line is probably impossible.

Don't forget that he's still monetarily supporting Republicans full throttle statewide in the Senate and the House, so his "independence" is a little more questionable than it otherwise might seem.

My comment has to do with recent activities in the state government, actually.

I knew about the Fusion system, but I just wasn't sure if he'd have the support of either of the two bigger parties.

Of course he will - it's the only way to actually win an election up here, FYI.

It's large-scale and it's well-known.

The NY Post on Sunday had a story about how Bloomberg is going to try to get term limits removed in order to run for a third term as mayor.

Prediction:  It won't happen.  He will stay in public office, though, as mentioned above.
