CBS News w/ KATIE COURIC 'Notebook' - March 10, 2009: Fmr. N.Y. Gov. Eliot Spitzer has assumed his place in the pantheon of disgraced politicians but, as Katie Couric reports, he was also one of the first to warn of an impending economic crisis.

2. K and Rec # 5.

Spitzer was flawed but his sins were microscopic compared to the tsunami of malfeasance he was up against.

4. Couric fails to mention that criminal charges against Spitzer were dropped

It's a fog fact.
Like Padilla's "dirty bomb," it served its purpose and by the time it was debunked no one was paying attention any more.

6. Spitzer catered to the shortsellers....

He and Jim Cramer were roomates at Harvard and have remained good friends since then. I think he's corrupt as can be.
