Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Spitzer On Colbert »
Here’s former Gov. Eliot Spitzer making his first appearance on “The Colbert Report” since Feb. 12, 2008 – about one month before he was forced from office by a prostitution scandal.
Colbert joked: “I wonder what he’s been up to….”
All in all, it was a pretty friendly interview. Colbert joked gently with Spitzer, who seemed pretty relaxed about the whole thing. Here’s the opening exchange:
SC: “I’ll tell you one thing I like about you. I condemn you. I condemn you. I condemn you. You are condemned. Fully condemned by me. All right. I’ll be clear about that. But I like you. I tell you why, is because when I see you on TV now I know that guys’ got to be an honest broker because you’ve got nothing to lose, right? Yeah. I mean, you’ve got no public image to uphold.”
