Spitzer back at a Washington hotel, this time for econ panel

Apparently Eliot Spitzer thinks he can come to the city where he paid a prostitute to have sex with him, which led to his resignation of the governorship, and no one will talk about it.

It seemed that way Monday at the Willard Hotel, where Spitzer sat on an economic panel hosted by the New Republic and clearly hoped to have people remember he is a smart man that can indeed think with what’s in his head, not just what is in his pants. The only mention outside of the issue of the ISE “inflection point” was when he told reporters he has no desire to go back into politics, and he instead will be working in the family business of commercial real estate.

While quickly speaking with Yeas & Nays, we were surprised he see him get so outraged at our question that addressed the white elephant in the room.

“I am not going to answer that,” Spitzer said with a wave of his hand in response to our question of if he still would’ve spoken on the panel had it been held at the Mayflower Hotel.                                                                                                             

You’re in Washington, in a hotel, did you really believe no one was thinking that?
