Gov. Eliot Spitzer was caught in a web of prostitutes and whore houses. He had the nerve to pay the girl pictured above to have a party in his spendy Washington DC suite (Hay-Adams Hotel) on the night of his anniversary! You flip on CNN and there he is mouthing off with the big brainy words as the expert along with his own show on the network! Only in America folks.
He should be a good expert on sleazy politicians.

Nothing compared to the family-values GOP senator David Vitter in Louisiana elected in 2004 as a family-values type then caught w/hookers & headed for re-election and still claiming he is a family-values type....

Uh, part of Spitzer's routine when he was New York AG was cleaning up the scum...including the protitutes. The big difference between Spitzer and Vitter is that it makes more sense to be a D in New York and more sense to be an R in Louisiana.

this guy is TOO OLD! We don;'t need some SENIOR CITIZEN AS MAYOR! We need someone young to bring about A NEW PORTLAND, more in style with KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD! It ain't weird enough yet!

His appeal should match the CNN audience quit nicely.
Which is growing smaller everyday.

Politicians who have had issues with political and social indiscretions always end of as 'experts', especially on FOX. This is nothing new. Obviously, the cable news (?) networks value the 'integrity and knowledge' these heads bring to the table. In reality, it's strictly for ratings ($).

Bottom line: If it's on FOX it's untrue to one degree or another. They don't put anything on unless it's been twisted into their view to fit with the rest of their disingenuous venue.

Yeah right Tomc. Keep drinking the koolaid you mindless drone.

Tomc. Have you ever even watched Fox News? I would expect you have not. Most likely you get your opinions and views spoon fed from others as you are too weak or lazy to make an objective conclusion after evaluating all points of view.
You must think the former kings of media...the tired networks, and printed pubs that we once trusted are NOT biased (of all campaign contributions in the last election from networks staff, 88 percent were to the Dems.),and DON'T twist things, and DON'T present disingenuous content?
Fox has conservative commentators, so take them or leave them. Their news presentation is more fair than the you could ever imagine. At least Fox does not editorialize a common news story. I worked in news for years, and I know a fair presentation when I see one.
