Client No. 9: 'I Have No Plans To Run for Office'

Can say we didn't see this coming. I figured this morning it was a trial balloon.

Considering toe fungus is more popular than Paterson, that isn't much of a stretch. Though I consider this trial balloon will burst by this afternoon, buried under an avalanche of ridicule.

Sure enough:

Disgraced former Gov. Eliot Spitzer refuted a published report on Tuesday that he is considering a political comeback.

"I have no plans to run for office," Spitzer told the Daily News in a brief telephone interview from his father's Manhattan real estate office.

OK, now please, please just go away.
