Eliot and I have similar tastes
Just reading the Lexington Column of The Economist and found out that the NY Governor’s tryst with Ms Kristen took place in the Mayflower hotel in Washington, DC - the very same hotel that I stayed on my trip to DC. It’s nice to know that myself and hypocritical, philandering bastards have the same classic tastes.
My stay there wasn’t as fun-filled as Mr Spitzer’s though, I just sat in my room writing a talk on face recognition and watching American Football on ESPN. Although one night Dick Cheney was in the building and one of his Secret Service chaps asked “is there was anything I can help you with, sir?” as I was craning my neck round a door in the lobby trying to see who had just turned up in a 10-vehicle motorcade outside.
It’s a very nice hotel if you are ever in Washington, DC, although perhaps stay away from Room 871 - I’m sure they change the sheets, but still.
