Schadenfreude on Wall Street?

Could anyone have predicted this? Eliot Spitzer was the hard charging attorney general of New York who put fear into Wall Street and won admirers around the country. He easily won election as governor last year.

Laura Rich is a co-founder of Recessionwire, which provides news, advice, perspective and humor about the recession and the recovery.
