Sometimes political events make op-ed satire so easy.
Former New York attorney general, governor and hooker enthusiast Eliot Spitzer said he will run for comptroller. Spitzer is a man who cannot comp-trol himself, but, like fellow New York Democrat and mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, he can troll the Internet.
As we have come to know, continuing sex scandals are imperatives of a mature democratic society. Spitzer is a real troll who had to pay for sex; the whole idea of power usually means you should not have to.
What makes the Spitzer race interesting is that he will be opposed by his ex-madam, Kristen Davis, who pimped his expensive call girls to him. She will run as a libertarian, so she has my vote.
“But,” you ask, “how can you vote for a professional prostitute who is active in the most degrading profession on earth?”
