That would be a good question! And one that might elicit more tears from NYC comptroller hopeful Eliot Spitzer, aka Client 9.
Earlier today, NBC’s Chuck Todd correctly noted Spitzer’s victimhood charade and lamented that the media “are only enabling him.” Now if only someone would commit an act of journalism and hold Spitzer accountable for the prostitution scandal that forced him to resign as New York governor. Hmm. Does Todd know anyone whose job it is to ask tough questions of politicians?

@CuffyMeh How dare you suggest @chucktodd do something so outlandish, so preposterous, so exotic and barbaric. Something so unorthodox.

Todd’s reply to that one: So much real journalism to pursue, so little time.
@BenK84 I have one hour a day that I'm accountable for. I hear ya

Plus, even if he wants to know the answer, why feed the narcissism?
@Matthops82 but I don't think I should offer a platform for this incredibly narcissistic behavior

Then again, Todd would totally be on it if only he could land an interview.
Remember when Chuck asked David Vitter this? RT @chucktodd I'd like to hear Spitzer answer a q. about why he was ok with exploiting women

@TheMayaka would love to ask him this question; he refuses to be interviewed by anyone who might ask him a challenging question
— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) July 9, 2013
(Unless he’s referring to Vitter.)
If Todd finds any time in his busy schedule, here’s another question he might want to ask:
