heh... well i thought the Dig at pelosi was funny...
look, I realize he might not have been Mr Popular before this all blew up (or even a decent guy.. sounds like sleeze to me) but, I still think that is a very big issue he was trying to highlight (crimes much worse than fucking a hooker IMO), and one that wouldn't just make bush look bad (file under AX123425565T), but the Republican party who are out trying to sell an older slightly smarter model of the Chimpemperor..
is anybody else trying to bring attention to it?
Greg Palast has a go at this also:

This week, Bernanke’s Fed, for the first time in its history, loaned a selected coterie of banks one-fifth of a trillion dollars to guarantee these banks’ mortgage-backed junk bonds. The deluge of public loot was an eye-popping windfall to the very banking predators who have brought two million families to the brink of foreclosure.
Up until Wednesday, there was one single, lonely politician who stood in the way of this creepy little assignation at the bankers’ bordello: Eliot Spitzer.
Who are they kidding? Spitzer’s lynching and the bankers’ enriching are intimately tied.
How? Follow the money.
The press has swallowed Wall Street’s line that millions of US families are about to lose their homes because they bought homes they couldn’t afford or took loans too big for their wallets. Ba-LON-ey. That’s blaming the victim.

And that very same day the bail-out was decided – what a coinkydink! – the man called, ‘The Sheriff of Wall Street’ was cuffed. Spitzer was silenced.
