Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer [dvd: 2010]
Once again I am reminded that the ruling class is actually the predator class. Even the benign image of the good shepherd glosses the truth that the flock is kept for fleecing and eating. This documentary is the story of Eliot Spitzer who might have been president, who almost forestalled the Wall Street tumble that pulled the whole economy into the avalanche. I will never understand what could make someone pay thousands of dollars for sex and I will never understand how a man who had made such powerful enemies would give them a way to bring him down. This film is much like a travelogue, a trip to a faraway world where the very rich and ruthless live.
