We seem to learn more about former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer every day. Our, should I say that we learn more about his other identities.
The New York Times reported Friday that the Guv used to was "a sloppy typist who often dashed off messages in fits, riddling them with typos, misspellings and terse abbreviations." Oh, and, he called himself Laurence. (His middle name.)
“Why has the state pty not out out a full list if bruno fundraising and 1199 support for him etc as a way to respomd to the fundraising bs?” Laurence reportedly wrote on May 16, 2007.
Fortunately, the Times provided a loose (and PG-13) translation:
"Why hasn’t the state Democratic Party put out a list of the people who have given money to Joseph L. Bruno, the Senate majority leader, like the 1199 S.E.I.U. health workers’ union, in response to the dastardly accusations Mr. Bruno is making about a fund-raiser my wife had?”
Chains of email messages from Spitzer to his senior aides were released on Thursday as part of a State Commission on Public Integrity report. They show that the former governor could be an irascible and relentless boss, The Times said.
"Though email is a form of communication in which emotion can be easily misinterpreted, Mr. Spitzer’s electronic communiqués to his staff left little room for guessing how he really felt," The Times reports.
