Spitzer Downfall Mob Orchestrated?

Hmm. Plausible perhaps, but likely never proven.

Writes Gasparino: "Spitzer's hooker girlfriend, Ashley Dupre, apparently had some friendship with someone alleged to be one of the family's associates. Spitzer had made cases against the mob early in his career as a prosecutor, so in Dietl's mind, why wouldn't the crime family rat out a rat?"

Gee, I'd be shocked if some bimbo from the Jersey shore had mob connections.

I had to chuckle yesterday when the oily Sheldon Silver was teeing up Mrs. Clinton at the DNC roll call that our good friend Eliot was conspicuous by his absence.
