New York Magazine reveals Silda Wall Spitzer has been working at a hedge fund since last month. The former corporate attorney will "be helping recruit new investors at Metropolitan." The Observer thinks the job "sounds suspiciously very much like what a hedge fund 'marketing executive' does," citing a W magazine article, where one person explained, "Guys who have a load of money [invested] in these big funds are often pigheaded, type A male personalities. They want a hot chick with a nice ass and nice boobs who is going to come in and sell the fund to them." Still, the Observer points out given Wall Spitzer's age (she's 50) and accomplishments, she's "hardly a bimbo," and suggests she's up for "a little revenge socializing."
