Former NY Governor (and fellow monger) Eliot Spitzer was big on taking down Wall Street execs who were not on the up and up.

This afternoon when I went out for lunch there was a guy with a (bad) painting of Spitzer and he was asking people to stop by and write things on it, all around his face.

People wrote things like:

"What were you thinking?"
"Payback's a bitch"
"Should've used your other head"
"Run Silda Run" (written by angry gringa)

And the whole time he was talking about this painting going up on Ebay for $4k starting bid. The thing is worth about $19.95. It's a horrible painting.

I found his auction. Here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0232989936

I took a pic with my cell phone as people were signing: http://home.nyc.rr.com/orange/spitzer.jpg

What is really crazy is some dumb ass will buy it.

0 bids so far.

Nobody is buying that piece of shit.

As a update, that portrait of Spitzer suitably annotated went for $3,999 on eBay. Don't know if the sale was completed. There's at least 1 born every day...

Someone bidded on it... I wish I had $4000 to waste. I wouldn't spend it on that though.
