He's just there to pick the bones and we're just here to pick his bones. It's a beautiful ecology.

There's nothing wrong with so-called vulture funds. They guarantee liquidity where none or little of it exists. In their way, they keep a segment of the markets functioning. Besides, it takes skill to spot a shiner amongst all the sh-t out there. I think it's a good move for him.

west side: I thought Spitzer's problems resulted from selective prostitution.

I thought he was working for his LL Daddy? Vultures are an endangered species. Meanwhile his hooker Dupre has the most famous tattoo in the world who writes her script? I wonder how much i can get for my "Spitzer-Patterson" bumper stickers on Ebay? Feds are still trying to go after Spitzer but our moral ex Gov.lawyer says if they do "it will be selective Prosecution".

This is called capitalism. Spitzer is a dirtbag for all sorts of reasons, but this isn't one of them.

[2] no need to stick up for this creep, there are people on his payroll who do that for a living. He pays for that too, BTW. And Gothemist and the rest of NY media have not dedicated themselves to a career in public service. With guys like Spitzer to work with, the stuff practically writes itself anyway.

Where's the story here? It's not news that a government official, in office or not, is trying to make money off of the misery of others. That's just SOP for them.

A vulture fund doesn't buy distressed "properties", it buys distressed debts.

Hey, I don't remember Gothamist ever running for public office or getting elected for Governor. Sure, Spitzer tried to expose Wall Street's bad guys and wanted to reform Albany, but Troopergate was a bad idea, hookers or not.

Good point there. But I'm still waiting for my hooker options to vest.

The NY Media & pathetic blogs like Gothamist.com are 1000X more guilty of being Scumbags than Spitzer. At least he did some good for NYC- what has NYC media ever done than glorify murders, scandals, and peoples misery for their own profit?
