Now available at the New Yorker site a long profile on Spitzer from last December (12/10/07). It was fascinating then -- maybe more so now:

Elliots main squeeze uncovered! Elliot's Girlfriend
I just heard Congressman King call Eliot (client # 9) the most self-righteous person he had ever met.
Maybe I am jaded but this type of behavior from politicians no longer shocks me. What I find inexplicable is the wife is always there by the disgraced politician's side. I would hold my own press conference announcing my intention to file for divorce. The call girl got $ 4300 for this tryst. If I was the wife I would be mad about that waste of money as well.
The national governmental trust gage just dropped another notch, which puts it at below zero, I suppose. If what he is accused of is true, that puts him in the super-hypocrite category. That category keeps growing way too fast.
