Weiner now Spitzer: They Love their Pervs in the Big Apple

Hooker-loving ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer is throwing his pants into the ring for city comptroller — and one of his opponents is the madam who used to arrange his trysts. 

“I hope people forgive me, and I hope they give me a second chance,’’ Spitzer, 54, told The Post tonight. “I’m running because having been attorney general and governor and assistant district attorney and having spent much of my career in public service, I cherish that. 

Spitzer could give her 'stiff' competition

“I want to do to the comptroller’s office what I did to the AG’s office: re-energize it, re-envision it, and hopefully the public will give me that opportunity. 

“I have acknowledged the wrongdoing and have moved on.” 

The former AG — who resigned as governor in disgrace in 2008 after he was caught with prostitutes — may have been encouraged to take on Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer for the Democratic Party nod after seeing how well mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner is doing, insiders said.

Weiner — forced to also step down as a US congressman in 2011 after texting photos of his privates to hoards of female buddies — is now leading in the mayoral race. 

“All you need is Vito Lopez running for public advocate, and you call it the Perv Party,” sniped one City Hall source, referring to the former state assemblyman drummed out of his political post amid sexual-harassment claims.
