| #8 From the 'article' Mr. White so selflessly posted: He (Spitzer) used the alias "George Fox," the name of his best friend. His best friend's name as an alias? Dang, that Spitzer is a veritable criminal genius. How ever did the feds drag him down? |

| #7 "She's drop-dead gorgeous, a great personality" said the pimp--what a salesman. I think she's a dumb troubled kid with boobs and a vagina. Big deal. |
