eliot spitzer is here. i'm john fuglesang. this is "viewpoint." >> john: good evening, i'm john fuglesang. this is "viewpoint." less than a week after the manchin toomey gun control bill was defeated in the senate, one of the democrats who helped shoot is down is stepping down. democratic strategist say max baucus who chairs the powerful finance committee has decided to retire rather than run for re-election in 2014. baucus joined three other democrats senators mark pryor of arkansas mark begich of alaska and heidi heitkamp of north dakota in helping the minority of having a vote on a bill that would have strengthened background checks for gun buyers, a poll that 90% of the people supported. but that number, the number that really counted in that debate was 60. the 60 votes need to the break a filibuster. supporters were able to muster 55 votes in favor of the bill, not enough to move it forward. even if the democrat defectors had stayed with their party. majority leader harry reid switched his vote to no to preserve an option

joining us with comments on all of the above, our good friend eliot spitzer. hey, eliot. good morning. what's going on? >> good morning. you are right. we would rather be reading and talking about progress on immigration and gun control but it's hard not to be focused on boston and that tragedy. ists sitting in my office with the t.v. and out of the corner of my eye, you see this bomb and say my goodness. what is this? and it could that' right us. >> it really does. do you think this is going to make people think twice about these marathons that have been held in on most of our major cities? >> i don't think so. it's interesting. there is now beginning to be sort of this second generation stories after the tragedy, itself and stories about the victims. stories a couple of hours or weeks in turmoil. what does it do to our psyche? do we become like israel that shrugs our shoulders and say we are not going to let them win and go back to normal. we know they are going to be more invasive measures or crawl in a shell and change the way we live? i think we are going to go back

eliot spitzer, of allpeople, said recently he's like the john gotti of the hedge fund world, and whatulated by so many people within his organization, he may or may not have actual knowledge of what's been going on. but the fact that he's being compared to john gotti, and that imagery has been held over by other people and repeated again, and here i am saying it, so there you go, i'm part of the problem. is this fair? >> it really isn't fair. here hasn't been indied, he hasn't been arrested. certainly, mar toe mow who we know was indicted by the federal authorities for insider trading is a, if you willproper defendant. steve cohen, say what you want about him. right now there's really nothing against him personally. but it is fair game, you know? as mr. pitt said, if he's in the press, and he is almost every day between his artworks and his house in the hamptons and all the alleged insider trading, then it is fair game. art follows life, so the tv does pick this up and gets good ratings because of it. you name it, they get it. melissa: charles payne, is it maybe a bad idea he's rollin
