Kendall Coffey provided some interesting commentary on CNN today regarding Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s role in a prostitution sex ring,
But why, the Miami Herald asks, did the network bill Coffey simply as “a former U.S. attorney,” leaving out the fact that was forced to resign that job in 1996 after biting a dancer during her naughty strip club performance?
“Neither Coffey nor CNN anchor Tony Harris mentioned the incident at the strip club as they talked about Spitzer’s encounter with a prostitute in a Washington D.C. hotel last month,” the paper notes. “But Coffey’s observations on the case certainly had some ironic overtones for anybody who remembers his own brush with a lithe young blond stripper known as Tiffany in a private ‘champagne room'’ at the old Lipstik club on South Dixie Highway.”
Despite the omission, Coffey’s advice to Spitzer seems especially spot on: “This is not survivable.”
