He hits it right on the nose. Spitzer was mauling the crooked rats of Wall Street and got nailed for it. He was and remains a flawed hero of the common dude -- like me. I hope his climb back up the political ladder is a success and gives him a chance to join with Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and Alan Grayson and a (very small) handful of others in fighting the good fight against greed, corruption, and the 1% (but I repeat myself).
