America at Its Best: Spitzer Scandal Brings Out Good Old-Fashioned Entrepreneurialism

Adjust

If you’re planning to cash in on the Eliot Spitzer scandal, it may already be too late. “When the chips are down for the Governor of New York, the people rise up, show their support and…register a sh*tload of domain names,” dailybull.com reports.

The vast number of Spitzer-related domain names registered during the past week includes:

client9spitzer.com
clientninespitzer.com
eliot-spitzer.com
eliot-spitzer.org
eliotnessspitzer.com
eliotspitzer-prostitution.com
eliotspitzerclient9.com
eliotspitzerclientnumber9.com
freespitzer.com
governorspitzerporn.com
governorspitzerporno.com
governorspitzersextape.com
governorspitzersexvideo.com
hypocritespitzer.com
idonotswallowbutispitzer.org
naughtyclient9.com
spitzergotscrewed.com
spitzerisnumber9.com
spitzerisnumber9.net
spitzerisscrewed.com

As the Harper’s colleague who brought this to my attention remarked, “I can’t help but admire the all-American entrepreneurial pep of betting on spitzersextape.com.”
