Spitzer Takes a Tumble
Eliot Spitzer' apperances on Mad Money are likely over due to his unfortunate participation in a prostitution ring. The Emperors Club VIP was unavailable for comment, but they are well known for service:
“Our services are professional, reliable and luxuriously pleasurable.”
At $5,500 an hour, it should be.
Our condolences go out to Spitzer's wife Silda, his three children and friend Jim Cramer. She is, by all accounts, a lovely woman.

Jim Cramer has leaned on Eliot from time to time, and it is time for him to repay the favor, if the allegations are indeed true.
Transcript from Press Conference:
Over the past nine years, eight as attorney general and one as governor, I’ve tried to uphold a vision of progressive politics that would rebuild New York and create opportunity for all. We vowed to bring real change to New York and that will continue. Today, I want to briefly address a private matter. I have acted in a way that violated the obligations to my family and that violates my — or any — sense of right and wrong. I apologize first, and most importantly, to my family. I apologize to the public, to whom I promised better. I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas, the public good and doing what is best for the State of New York. But I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard that I expected of myself. I must now dedicate some time to regain the trust of my family. I will not be taking questions. Thank you very much. I will report back to you in short order. Thank you very much.
