Eliot Spitzer is trying to make a political comeback, which makes this as good of a time as any to share my story about the ex-New York governor.

Back when I was a correspondent for Investor’s Business Daily, I got a call one day in early 2005 from the National Press Club. They were inviting me to a join a newsmaker luncheon they were hosting for Spitzer. The deal with these Press Club events is that you sit at the head table with the guest of honor and the reporters who cover the person.
