A FEW FINAL THOUGHTS ABOUT CLIENT 9:
Yes, it’s a classic tale of one man's lust, arrogance, hypocrisy, hubris, eros and thanatos. But let’s not forget that this was not a victimless crime. Not only did he humiliate his wife, his children and his party, but he really inconvenienced the hell out of clients 1-8!
It is truly ironic that Spitzer was so hell bent on bringing down illegal operations that he inadvertently brought down the one he was supporting!
Indeed, how crazy that it was an investigation into his conduct that led to the demise of the prostitution ring rather than the other way around!! More plainly put: The prostitution ring got in trouble because of the politician John instead of the politician John getting in trouble because of the prostitution ring.
I don’t know if you noticed, but Cialis had ads during almost every commercial break during the coverage of the breaking story—making it the most inadvertently apt media buy I’ve seen in a long time.
Watching David Boies, Alan Dershowitz, Mark Green and David Margolick on Charlie Rose talking about the case, I couldn’t help but wondering how many of them were silently thinking: "Damn. $6000 an hour!!! I’m one of the top lawyers in America and I only get a fraction of that." Indeed, as I learned from someone I know who works for Boies, the pre-eminent defense attorney bills just under $1000 an hour. So in effect, while he was getting $1000 an hour to keep AIG’s Hank Greenburg from getting screwed by Spitzer, this comely courtesan Kristin was getting paid six times that much per hour precisely to let him screw her.
