Insights and tidbits from the state Capitol

Eliot Spitzer, obscenities and all

November
29
Fans and critics of Eliot Spitzer will be running out to newsstands today to grab the new Vanity Fair magazine (or going to http://www.vanityfair.com) to view veteran political journalist David Margolick’s take on the governor’s first year in office.

Like other observers, Margolick comments on the huge promise Spitzer came into office with almost a year ago, which he then then seemed to fritter it all away in a series of political blunders caused mostly by his overweening ego and taste for battle. But he concludes that the freshman governor may still present the best chance to actually change the Capitol’s famously dysfunctional culture.

But unlike newspaper commentaries, Margolick gets to strinkle his tome with obscenties that tansmit more of the flavor of some of the governor’s confrontations.
