Elliot Spitzer’s New Gig on CNN, Jersey Guys Cool with Queer Issue « Television

Spitzer resigned from his position as Governor after The New York Times reported that he’d solicited a prostitute in 2008. Since then, he’s substituted for MSNBC anchor Dylan Ratigan several times, reportedly impressing CNN executives.

He’ll be hosting the Crossfire-like discussion program with Kathleen Parker, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for The Washington Post, who describes herself as a “rational conservative” as opposed to Spitzer’s “pragmatic liberal.”

In other solicitations, the New York Post reported that the men of Jersey Shore were recently asked to pose shirtless on the cover of the Village Voice—and then were “shocked” that their images were being used for the “Queer Issue.”

But, after speaking with E!Online, the self-described “Guidos” don’t seem to be that concerned. “I don’t give a s--t, man,” Vinney told E!Online reporter Marc Malkin. “As long as I look good, that’s all I care about.” And he seems to be happy with the pink hoodie he got out of the deal, too.
