Sexing up the recession

By Katie L-S, March 20th, 2008

What do Elliot Spitzer and Ben Bernanke have in common?
Greg Palast reckons that Spitzer aggravated important people with his meddling in the affairs of banks which were throwing around cash at sub-prime mortgages.
Have a look at this story and ask yourself how the media got wind that Spitzer was throwing around cash at expensive hookers.
