Spitzer Should Split for Hollywood Pronto!

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer needs to pack his bags and head to Hollywood.

The Love Gov would do well in this town, where cavorting with hookers isn't a career-ending offense. Beyond that, Spitzer is a tough negotiator who knows how to face down powerful rich dudes. The former Sheriff of Wall Street would make a perfect manager, agent or studio honcho.

“He’d be a really good fit for Hollywood because of his tenacity,” one agent said. “He’s a ballbuster. He’s a type-A alpha male. It’s something everyone would eat up here.”

Now, let’s get back to that hooker business. Hollywood may be a hard town (just ask any actress who’s been told she’s too fat or too old for a role), but it’s also a forgiving one. The list of the fallen but redeemed in Hollywood is endless: Paris Hilton, Charlie Sheen, Eddie Murphy, Woody Allen, Hugh Grant and...we could go on.

So, Mr. Spitzer, get the first flight out of JFK and head west! I promise you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

“If he moved to Hollywood, he’d be the first person we’d put on our invitation list,” one veteran event planner said. “He’d be celebrated—and we’d be guaranteed photos.”

And if all else fails, you’ve got quite a story to sell. And I’ve got just the title for your TV movie: Client 9.
