Silda Wall Spitzer Works at a Hedge Fund

New York Magazine reveals Silda Wall Spitzer has been working at a hedge fund since last month. The former corporate attorney will "be helping recruit new investors at Metropolitan." The Observer thinks the job "sounds suspiciously very much like what a hedge fund 'marketing executive' does," citing a W magazine article, where one person explained, "Guys who have a load of money [invested] in these big funds are often pigheaded, type A male personalities. They want a hot chick with a nice ass and nice boobs who is going to come in and sell the fund to them." Still, the Observer points out given Wall Spitzer's age (she's 50) and accomplishments, she's "hardly a bimbo," and suggests she's up for "a little revenge socializing."

I'd much rather have a giggling Japanese schoolgirl try to make me write that check but if Silda's good with her hands, I'm all for a flutter.

Just because your good looking, doesn't mean you're any good in bed. She could be as cold as ice for all we know.

What was Spitzer thinking?

REALITY CHECK

Some of you need to get out more.

I'd hit it.

Color me crazy, but I think she's got a nice ass and nice boobs, plus she'd be a wild ride all that anger to let loose.

The Observer should do some research before making generalizations. The president of the fund, Metropolitan Capital Advisors, is Karen Finerman. She's one of the panelists on CNBC's Fast Money. So unless she swings the other way, I don't think Spitzer's wife got the job for her looks.

When you think about it, most women (And men, I guess) in marketing are good looking, and for good reason. Men will pay more attention to a hot sultry woman trying to pitch them a product then Sarah Plain & Tall.

And if using sex appeal can give you an advantage in the marketplace, not to mention net you and the company millions of dollars, then so be it.

Feminists... eat your heart out.

but I think they would like her because she stood by her man, that is the type of integrity these pigheads like.

Hedge fund managers are pigs but in fact a pig like them can sell funds to them. A lot of them don't even pay mind to what she is selling. They think all women are bimbos. But sometimes they have a pretty girl just sitting next to the male seller to "harden" them up

She looks great and I commend her ability to rise above the muck through which he dragged her.

There's a good chance Dupre won't be anywhere near as attractive when she hits the big 50, especially the way she worships the sun. Although if her mother is any indication, maybe the odds aren't that bad. Still, E. Spitzer is an idiot for risking a perfectly good marriage like that.
