"This is a gremlin… This is a hooker"

|

The New York Post has some fun today at the expense of former New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer, who went on the Today Show yesterday to mend his sullied reputation:

Disgraced former Gov. Eliot Spitzer, speaking publicly for the first time about the sex scandal that toppled him from power, yesterday blamed his dalliance with a $4,000-an-hour call girl on mischievous, mythical critters.

"Like most of us, I suppose, I've had flaws," he told Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today" show.

"I've tried to think about it deeply, address it. There are no excuses. I have tried to address these gremlins, confront them," the bumbling former pol said, as if he were battling the furious furballs from the '80s horror flick.

Just to help Spitzer keep things straight, the Post created a handy graphic constrasting the "furious furballs" with call girl Ashley Dupre. Enjoy.
