The Sheriff of Wall Street, Eliot Spitzer, Appears on Stephen Colbert

Good thing for Wall Street that Eliot Spitzer was taken down.

It all makes you wonder who was behind the undoing of the ex-gov.

Oh, yes, there clearly were character issues that Spitzer should have dealt with long ago. And those were, at root, the cause of the fall.

But it must have been given an aiding push by those powerful forces on "the Street" who loathed him.

As this clip shows, there's hardly anyone out there now, on the scene of elected officials, who's as tough on the financial sector and its wrong-doers as Spitzer was.
