Hold on to your socks—Eliot Spitzer is returning to Albany.
Spitzer, the former New York governor who abruptly resigned after he was ensnared in a prostitution scandal, will come to Albany on Oct. 21 for a moderated discussion with WAMC-FM’s Alan Chartock, according to the station’s Facebook page.
The discussion is being used as a fundraised for the public radio station, whose coverage area spans several states and much of New York’s eastern half. Tickets are being sold by the pair for $100, with proceeds going to WAMC. (Update: WAMC Assistant News Director Patrick Donges notes that ticket buyers should write “Spitzer tickets” in the comment section of the donation page.)
A total of 100 pairs of tickets were initially available.
The discussion is slated to start at 2 p.m. at The Linda, WAMC’s performing arts center on Central Ave. in Albany.
Spitzer, of course, resigned in 2008 after he was found to have been a client of an upscale prostitution ring. Since then, he briefly hosted a show on CNN before it was cancelled.
He currently hosts a show on Current TV, and participated in a made-for-TV debate with conservative talk show host Glenn Beck yesterday.

Does anyone care what this loser has to say?
Tune in. He’ll knock your socks off.
For those of you who do care what he has to say, remember to type ‘Spitzer tickets’ in the comment section if you pledge online. Thanks!
LOL. Care of Elite Escort Service.
Spitzer is a brilliant mind. Part of his poblem was his unforgiving attitude towards others ho made mistakes. Sometimes a bad incident like this can really humble a person in positive way. Maybe all you mistake-free people out there could give him a chane instead of repeating the same old thing.
Ho made mistakes, all right. So did Spitzer. However, I’ll give them both an extra chain. Is he into that, too?
I’m sure he’s not perfect like you are…...right?
Right.
