Spitzer let his Wall Street targets go with settlements amounting to about two weeks of their profits. Has he ever seen the inside of a courtroom? Yeah, he really fought for the little guy.

I love this quote from the Pirro article...

"We prosecuted and convicted about 100 made members and associates of organized crime for murder, loan-sharking, assault, organized criminal enterprises and gambling,” she said, "including my husband."
