New York Adult Entertainment: Spitzer backs Paterson, criticizes Gillibrand
ALBANY, N.Y. — Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer said Thursday that he doesn’t regret picking David Paterson as a running mate and that Bernard Madoff’s Wall Street fraud could have been uncovered quickly, dismissed Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand as a careerist, and said his family is stronger than before he resigned amid a prostitution scandal.
“It’s stupidity that brings people down,” Spitzer said in a Webcast interview on bigthink.com, a business-oriented Web site. He looked trim in a blue suit, much as he did through his eight years as attorney general and 14 months as governor. Speaking generally, he said “hubris, entitlement and adrenaline” can be the gateway to bad judgment. “None of us are without fault,” he said. “Mine are very evident to the world.”

Personally, he said he’s moving on from the 2008 scandal but isn’t counting on forgiveness or redemption. One question made him laugh: He denied that he wore black socks in bed, one of the rumors that came out of the prostitution case.
