I thought he said it involved a Senator but could this be it?

And if not, where the hell is that story???

1. No - He was only going after bigoted assholes
And Spitzer wasn't a bigot, as far as I know. But the asshole thing is currently under intense scrutiny.

5. No, Flynt was only going after family values hypocrites

Spitzer was attacking Wall Street thieves.

6. Spitzer's name was included in a RICO case against the escort service
He wasn't "outed" by Larry Flynt, he was busted by the Feds.

Goofy. Just plain goofy. Much worse than messing around in the Oval Office.
