SPITZER TO EDIT SLATE’S NEW LADY BLOG, XX FACTOR: Or something! The Observer reports that human penis Eliot Spitzer will be writing a column for the online Slate magazine, starting tomorrow. Oh that Slate, always keeping us on our toes! The column “will appear every other week and it’ll be about government, regulation and finance.” In other words: just softcore. And… uh… just imagine that this post had clever sex jokes in it, k? [Observer]

  1. About “government, regulation and finance”?

    A. “Government” = “Control.”

    B. “Regulation” = “Dominance.”

    C. “Finance” = “$200 per hour for “Madam Ashley” to exercise A and B, supra.

    Apparently he’s going to be writing about government and finance? Those are two things that should be very easy for a sex addict to relate to.

  3. NewSpence says at 5:38 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    But will it be about Muppets?

  4. I never get tired of that picture of Spitzy. Can we put it next to the one of Jeb and call it “Tormented men trying to eat their own faces?”

  5. Kev-O-Tron says at 5:40 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    In a kind of point/counterpoint fashion Hooker Kristen will author a bi-weekly column on government, regulation and assfucking.

  6. SayItWithWookies says at 5:41 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    I can’t wait for Phil Spector’s music column or the O.J. Simpson sports highlights either.

  7. hedgehog says at 5:42 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    “A Shot at Love with Client 9″

  8. Man if I were that rich (NY family real estate money) I wouldn’t do ANYHING. I’d just by a house and watch teevee and garden all day. These people insist on being important, and they’re always making it worse. I think it was Galbraith who said the idle rich are better for society than the working rich.

  9. The Best Policy is to keep your pecker in your pants, Elman.

    hmmm, bet this column will probably be worth reading. damn, i wish it weren’t so wrong to stick your dick in the mashed potatoes from time to time, we could probably use his core competencies in these otherwise effed times in which we live.

  11. p-Sludge ofTheElves says at 5:50 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    true story: I recall seeing him on late night TV, expecting to like & respect him, but thinking he had a “sleaze factor”.

  12. First column, just in time for the holidays “What to get the mistress who has already taken everything from you”

  13. NewSpence: Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip.

  14. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 5:56 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    Ha ha! The second clever sex joke I imagne you making is the funniest thing I’ve imagined reading in a while Jim. Nice work!

  15. L Urchin says at 5:56 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    Spitzer, the human emoticon.

  16. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 5:57 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    There’s surely more to know with a mouth posture like that. Spitzer or swallowzer?
    Slide your lips gently over your teeth for smooth sailing. …

    NEWS FLASH:

    SPITZER HAS ALSO BEEN HIRED AS A COLUMNIST FOR MAXIM, PLAYBOY AND SPORTS ILLUSTRATED’S ANNUAL SWIMSUIT ISSUE.

  18. I was never clear on what exactly XX was.

    X = fully nude solo posing
    XXX = Explicit fucking with full penetration

    XX is I guess some kind of middle ground but I was never sure what the specifics were.

  19. metropolitan says at 6:15 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    god, i really wish spitzer was still governor. he is the one man who multiple times forced wall street to change the way it does business and one of the few men in goverment who knew all the intricacies of the finance world.
    how we let this man go just because he fucked an ugly hooker is beyond reason.

    sorry, no snark, i miss my spitzer kicking wall streeter’s asses.

  20. Hans the Brinker says at 6:15 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    It seems like they could have let him put
    his teeth back in before the picture taking.

  21. ManchuCandidate says at 6:16 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    Godot:
    Full penetration but wears socks.

  22. iwillsavethispatient says at 6:19 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    I hope, like his WaPo article, he ends every article with the phrase “Although mistakes I made in my private life now prevent me from participating in these issues as I have in the past, I very much hope and expect that…”

  23. “…..my teeth will be mailed back and they will be white”

  24. Internally valid says at 6:36 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    Oh, Slate.com I used to read that every day before I discovered Wonkette. While both fulfill my need to feel better than other people, Wonkette doesn’t burden me with all that contrarian “analysis” and “information.”

    Also, Slate doesn’t talk about ass-fucking nearly enough–though I might have to check out Spitzer’s column for that to change.

  25. nurple: Oh, I thought Spitzer’s dad was some kind of Wall St. Baron. Hence his bitter rage against something that hurt him, sniff.

  26. azw88: Easy question to answer: Whore Diamands.

  27. Texan Bulldoggette says at 7:34 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    Shouldn’t that be ‘XXX Factor’?

  28. thefrontpage: You omitted, “Felcher’s Week In Review”.

  29. sati demise says at 9:04 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    Borat: it hurt all of us when Bush-co shut down Spitzers report on ’states can regulate bank mortgages’, hahah ’cause they are handing out money and swindling everybody, even poor people, minorities, could cause a crash, people are getting ripped off, &c. the end. sexy time!

  30. Chief Grinning Eagle says at 9:57 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    Mustang: Eliot Spitzer could get at least a bronze medal in a Gurning Competition.

  31. rocktonsammy says at 10:08 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    He got a job, good for him.

    Maybe the economy is turning around.

  32. nosnikreplliw says at 11:18 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    i think slate kinda sux

  33. p-Sludge ofTheElves says at 11:51 pm, December 3rd, 2008

    I knew I’d seen that punum before.

    They have just leaked Spitzer’s first column:

    Dear Slate,

    I never thought your blogs were true until the other day. I was the governor of a state, 5′ 11″, trim and 8″ cut. I was on boring business trip, when suddenly there came a dock on the door of my hotel room….

    Read the rest at http://www.slate.com

  35. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:58 am, December 4th, 2008

    Personally, I look forward to reading a blog about government, regulation and finance in the porn and prostitution industries.

    Heck, in six months, they might be the only industries we still have.

  36. Lionel: I bet you could make some fantastic quantitative connections studying those economics. Kinda like the shoe-repair index.
