W. James Antle III assesses Bill Weld’s chances in the race for
governor of New York and hints at Attorney General Eliot Spitzer’s
ruthlessness. For a closer look at Spitzer making friends and
influencing people, check out what he told John Whitehead, former Goldman Sachs
chairman, after he dared write an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal
criticizing Spitzer:
“Mr. Whitehead, it’s now a war between us and you’ve
fired the first shot. I will be coming after you. You will pay the
price. This is only the beginning and you will pay dearly for what
you have done. You will wish you had never written that
letter.”
