In an extended interview, we speak with former New York governor Eliot Spitzer about the financial crisis and how it was handled by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. Bernanke and Geithner “actually built and participated in creating the structure that now has collapsed,” Spitzer says and calls on them to be replaced. Spitzer also talks about the scandal that erupted last year that forced him to resign as governor. “I have no doubt that there were many people who were opposed to me, very powerful forces, who were happy to see me go,” Spitzer says. “Whether they participated, I’ll let others figure that out. I resigned because of what I did.”

2. Agree, and this is probably why he was pressured to resign...but

it was a really stupid thing to do....(the hooker thing)People in vulnerable positions can't do anything that would compromise their position....control yourselves guys!

3. I hope he runs for office again. Torturers are teaching college

courses and still in the DOJ as far as we know. The rest of the war criminals have basically been told they will not be prosecuted because we have to 'move forward'. None of them lost their jobs, and some of them are considering running for office again.

Spitzer went to a prostitute. His skills are needed in this country now. He knows all about these guys and his 'crime' is nothing compared to the crimes committed by those who created the problems this country is having.
