Interesting Eliot Spitzer response on The Big Think to Ben Smith's question about whether he regrets choosing David Paterson as Lt. Governor. Spitzer does not, but he does take issue with Paterson's appointment of Kirsten Gillibrand to the United States Senate. Can't wait for Gillibrand's angry response on Twitter! Hopefully it is something along the lines of, "If Eliot were here right now he'd be fucking hookers."

Some sage political advice for Carolyn Maloney from the Daily News' Liz Benjamin: If you're planning to give up a House seat you've held for 9 terms to challenge an incumbent Senator who has almost all-including the President of the Unites States-of the Democratic establishment behind her, it's probably better for your campaign if you don't go around sounding like a Richard Pryor record.
