Penis puns work overtime in the Post's leading Page Six item: "Behind Eliot Spitzer's flaccid attempt at re-erecting his public persona is a plan to run for state attorney general in 2010." Apparently the former governor, who writes for Slate and has been appearing on TV lately (even being lampooned for his comeback on SNL), think Andrew Cuomo will probably run for governor in 2010, prompting the supposed socks-on john to allegedly tell people, "My record as governor was disappointing, but the voters will remember my excellent two terms as attorney general," when he crusaded against Wall Street. But an observer points out the obvious to Page Six, "The whole idea of returning to Albany is preposterous. You can't go home again. He's a pariah. It wasn't just the prostitutes -- there was also Troopergate." In other Hookergate news, Emperors Club VIP manager Cecil Suwal is trying to interest publishers in a book where she'll reveal "the frequency with which [Spitzer] used the agency, the amounts of money he spent, and some of the details of the various encounters he had with the girls."
