Elliot Spitzer Grooming Himself For A Whitehouse Run?

Elliot Spitzer's ruthless ambition knows no bounds. Does anyone really doubt that the would be satisfied with anything less that president, or emperor of the world?

Has anyone considered the possibility that he was just fleshing out his resume for the Democratic nomination? Look at the last Democratic president. Every time he trespassed, he approval ratings went up. San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome has an affair with one of his best friend's wife, then goes into alcohol rehab and emerges with sky high approval ratings and is planning to run for governor.

This isn't the end of Spitzer's career. It's just taking off. For Democrats, this kind of stuff is a resume' enhancement.

Elliot Spitzer Too Arrogant and Abrasive For The New York Times?

I get the impression that the Times is not especially upset about Spitzer's fall.

Alas for Mr. Spitzer, his shiv-in-the-kidney style, which served him so well in facing down skittish bankers and mutual fund executives, met its match in Albany. He relied — too often, said some — on his tough-talking crew from the attorney general’s office, and tended to speak loudly when he might better have listened.

"Shiv in the kidney:" Now that's a good blogger line.

Perhaps if he had been a better listener he would have learned what goeth before the fall.
