Eliot Spitzer

Back when I was first starting out in TV news, I worked closely with a male reporter who had a reputation for being an insatiable office lothario. A considerable portion of his spare time while on the clock was spent trying to seduce one impressionable, post-collegiate hire or another; these...

...But why, then, is it so funny?

I feel it my patriotic duty to weigh in on the Spitzer scandal, since after all I am both an American citizen and a native of New York State... unlike my husband, a resident ALIEN, who said last night that he didn't...

Like most New Yorkers, I've been watching the news over the past few days with a mixture of astonishment and, well, astonishment, as Eliot Spitzer has completed the Tri-State Trifecta of disgraced gubernatorial resignations. That's right -- you forgot about John Rowland, right? So here's a prediction: voters and pols...

When are politicians and public figures going to wake up and smell the headlines? America's favorite stories don't just occur when juicy crimes are committed. They occur when juicy indiscretions are coupled with sexy hypocrisy and dazzling double-speak.

Spitzer and a hooker. How remarkable. So much to lose. So much hubris. A DWI, maybe. Cruising down the Taconic at 80 mph with no seat belt, sure. But hookers and electronic trails of evidence? Doesn't seem possible.

I was one of those who danced in the streets,...

After a week in which the Clinton campaign has sunk yet further into the gutter with its aggressive manipulation of Geraldine Ferraro's mad comments, the time feels about right to send a clear message to our superdelegates, specifically those whom we elect to public office. To start with,...

He just has to be the weirdest trick I've ever turned, and let me tell you, I've seen more than my share of them.

Don't get me wrong. He wasn't into anything kinky -- no S/M, no bondage, no whips or chains, nothing risky. And the only...

I'm going to throw the remote through the TV if one more news twink says something on the order of "When we come back, we'll look into what drives a successful man like Eliot Spitzer to risk it all..."

Oh yes, let's convene a panel of experts for that....
