Enough!
If Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio has a lick of sense in his 6-foot-5 frame, he’ll cast out of his incoming administration Lis Smith — the randy Democratic operative who’s got a freaky fetish for the black knee socks and balding pate of married ex-Love Gov Eliot Spitzer.
If de Blasio continues to stand by Eliot’s unsavory love interest, his credibility as this city’s righteous voice for those without money, power and sexual corruption is shot to hell.
As one veteran public-relations expert said, “If I were de Blasio, I wouldn’t want someone close to me sleeping with Eliot Spitzer.”
This unappetizing duo makes me ashamed to call myself a New Yorker.
Spitzer is the whoremonger who lost his bed in New York’s governor’s mansion after he bargained for reduced-price female flesh like a millionaire john on a budget, shaming not just himself, his suffering wife, Silda, and his three daughters, but all good citizens who entrusted him with upholding the law.
He may have been cast out as governor, but Eliot was never punished criminally for patronizing hookers.
Now Eliot has been caught by The Post like a frat boy on a late-night booty call, twice creeping out of La Lis’ Soho apartment at dawn.
This is not just any ordinary bimbo.
Lis, who presumably does not charge Eliot for services rendered, was communications director for Bill de Blasio’s successful campaign for mayor, and is currently a member of the mayor-elect’s transition team — plus, she is considered the front-runner for the job of de Blasio’s official spokeswoman. On Monday, de Blasio praised her work and defended Lis’ right to privacy, but did not say what her future holds.
He also never mentioned the ticklish fact that Eliot, who lives in a separate apartment from his wife, is still married to the mother of his children.
Don’t underestimate Lis’ status as a hot and fit political insider. She was Eliot’s spokeswoman during his disastrous primary campaign for city comptroller this year. But she previously wielded Twitter to vanquish foes of President Obama as a “rapid response’’ operator during the prez’s 2012 re-election campaign.
The union of the ambitious, youngish cookie and the megarich heir to Daddy’s real-estate empire has cemented New York’s image as a sexual mosh pit in which male politicians (Spitzer, Anthony Weiner) forget their marriage vows, and women use married degenerates to advance their careers.
I hope Lis and Eliot enjoy a long, happy life living in sin.
Just do it somewhere else.
