Gothamist's Spitzerpimp image made it on to page 4 of the New York Post today. That is both awesome and puzzling at the same time. Here's a bit from the article:
At Credit Suisse and Merrill Lynch, which also had been on Spitzer's hit list, doctored pictures of the governor decorated their trading floors.
They showed Spitzer as a rapper with his arm around a sexy, bikini-clad girl.
Bloggers also had a field day.
"The corpse of Eliot Spitzer's political career is pushing up daisies and traders stopped to smell the flowers," said John Carney, editor of the blog Dealbreaker.com.
Sadly, they didn't provide a credit for this masterpiece. To our friends at Post HQ: please correct! As full recompense, we would be willing to accept a framed copy of the article signed by Rupert Murdoch.
