Eliot Spitzer May Make Bid for Most Masochistic Politician of 2010

Eliot Spitzer — Former Governor of New York and big-spending john — may be trying to re-stimulate his political career by going back to basics and running for state attorney general next year…

After launching a column on Slate.com, and giving interviews to National Public Radio and the "Today" show, the sources say, the disgraced former governor told friends: "My record as governor was disappointing, but the voters will remember my excellent two terms as attorney general."

Laugh all you want at Spitzer, but you do have to admit: He was a seven-diamond attorney general.
