No, thankfully not for the State of New York. Eliot is back from being hidden away upstate to do what it seems his wife always wanted him to do. No more fighting criminals (while being one in a way) or trying to fix the tangled web that is Albany. No, the ex-Governor is going to take over the family business for his ailing father.
From The Gothamist:
Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has emerged from his upstate seclusion and now has his nose back to the grindstone--this time in the private sector. There was no need to polish his resumé, however, as his new boss is his father. Bernard Spitzer, who is 83 years old and suffering from Alzheimer's, amassed a half-billion dollar real estate and money management empire during his career.
The abrupt job switch might be at least some comfort to the ex-Governor's wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, who Spitzer said once asked him "What was wrong with going into the family business? That wouldn’t have been so bad." Following Troopergate and Hookergate, it seems that Mrs. Spitzer may have been right from the get go. In addition to the new job, the Daily News reports that Eliot Spitzer is in therapy; presumably to understand his desire to have sex with beautiful young women.
Yeah, I know the obvious response to that last sentence, but paying tens of thousands of dollars for it might take some serious counseling sessions. Then you have to add in violating the Mann Act (famous prosecuting attorneys should know about these things) and moving money around in nefarious ways and then you can see he will have a very busy schedule from now on. I wonder if any of those therapists have offices in one of the five buildings facing Central Park that the Spitzers own?
