Boy, attorney general of New York Eliot Spitzer must be wishing today he found other means of keeping his name in the news back in 1997. The then-prosecutor and political hopeful appeared on "Rivera Live" and weighed in the latest "find" in the story that proved to be Geraldo's nightly obsession/meal ticket/career rehab project, namely the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation.
I stumbled over a transcript of Spitzer casting doubt on a claim that the Ramseys had made about not hearing JonBenet's screams, which were reported by a neighbor. I walked that transcript over to one of our reporters, Jim Fussell, and you can read it in his story: Kansas City Star | JonBenet Ramsey case: Tragedies test our restraint.
And that was just a dumb random find. Who knows how many other people shot off their mouths during the months-long Ramsey feeding frenzy?
