Spitzer
I am of two minds regarding the Elliot Spitzer news.
Spitzer was like a super-hero, capable of single-handedly bringing powerful, multi-national investment companies to their knees. This guy brought a lot of change to Wall Street. Hearing of his downfall is a little like hearing that Luke Skywalker has turned to the dark side. I just want to scream, “Why?” How could he let this happen?
The other side of me is a little giddy. Finally, this dork that caused all this trouble on Wall Street is shut up. He has caused investment companies no end of new hoops to jump through, i’s to dot, t’s to cross. Whatever he does for the rest of his life, he will no longer strike fear in people’s hearts. Good riddance.
