Spitzer starts over with Slate
Former governor has online column
NEW YORK — Former Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer is back in the media, this time as a member of the Fourth Estate.
The online magazine Slate quietly posted Spitzer’s first column, headlined “Too Big Not To Fail,” on Wednesday evening.
It argued against costly government bailouts to huge financial institutions.
News of Spitzer’s column was first reported online Wednesday by the New York Observer.
Jacob Weisberg, the editor in chief of the Slate Group, owned by the Washington Post Co., said in a telephone interview that the twice-monthly column will focus on the financial crisis, regulation and government.
Spitzer resigned in March after getting caught in a call-girl scandal. Last month, federal prosecutors announced they would not bring criminal charges against him.
