Certain mainstream media writers remarked how odd it was for Spitzer to turn a reference of a potentially derogatory spoof into a speech about the future of New York. I did too. [w:The_Producers_%281968_film%29|The Producers] is the 11th funniest movie in the American Film Institute's 100 Funniest Films of All Time. I mean, how can you take on images of a Ziegfiled's Follies swastika and a gayalicious Roger Debris Hitler calling himself the Etherl Merman of Germany? Somehow, Spitzer pulls it off. The following is a clipping of the whole speech but it will give you great insight into Spitzer's oratiorial skills. Once you get past the springtime cliches, you'll start to hear the prosecutor speaking, with a phrase like "we are winning because we are right and because we are making our case". The video is right after the jump. --------> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TovD_x5wwSk|THE DAILY GOTHAM - Eliot Spitzer on the future]
