i'm glad that you guys brought up spitzer and wiener. i mean, a guy like anthony weiner, there are a lot of friends of mine saying look, he didn't do anything that bad. he didn't physically cheat with his wife with another girl, but just tweeted lewd pictures of himself. but at the same time, how can someone with common sense and rationality do something so stupid? especially when you're in a position that you're in? and you know, you're a recognizable face. i also think of chris lee from new york too, who was soliciting personal ads on some website. i don't know if it was craig's list or what. and he was trying to use a fake name, but if you're a public official, people recognize your face, and they know your name, and you can't pretend to be somebody else. so it is kind of alarming that someone in that kind of power would have that power over public services or tax dollars, because there's an absence of common sense. and if i could just add one quick point about why it's acceptable for some politicians and not others. it doesn't surpri

youwhole allegations brought up were started by eliot spitzer. down, he knocking me then got knocked down himself. eliot spitzer and i have had this weird relationship ever since then. one thing somebody said to me at the beginning of the process that i was going through is, don't lose yourself in the moment. life is long, just continue to move forward. eliot spitzer and i have sort of become friends, 10 to 15 years later. it has been amazing to see that. quick so you started business insider, and where is it today? how has it evolved? wereen we started, there three people on the loading dock of another start up. the first day, 2000 readers came to the site. we were overjoyed him and the next week it dwindled down to 1300. now we have 35 million people a month reading the content, including lots of very loyal users or -- who are coming every day. we have about 65 people in the newsroom. it has evolved into a thriving, growing journalism business, which is wonderful to see in an era when a lot of news organizations -- >> what is your ambition? wha

spitzer got in right at the filing deadline. spitzer seemed to think he could take advantage of stringer's lack of preparation. but across the spectrum am a there was a raid against spitzer. it is pretty rare you have the entire liber movement that very much like scott stringer and wall street and the business committed to, which could not stand spitzer, thanks to his presenting activism as attorney general, there were all in the same side and on top of that, newspaper endorsements all went to stringer. in a way, spitzer sort of perhaps wound up biting off more than he could chew. if we could flip back to the contrition versus combatant notion. weiner definitely tried to present himself as having atoned, definitely being contrite and having gotten past the sexting scandal that forced him to resign from congress to begin with. you sort of made it seem like it was in his past. he did this very glowing interview with his wife that appeared in "the new york times" magazine that he had turned over a new leaf. of course, that turned o

the whole allegations that you brought up were started by eliot spitzer,. >> rose: right. >> and when i -- after him knocking me down, came back through slate, he got knocked down himself and he came back in slate and eliot spitzer and i have had this weird relationship ever since then and one thing that somebody said to me at the beginning of the process that i was going through is, don't husband yourself in the moment, life is long, just continue to move forward and what is remarkable is eliot spitzer and i have sort of become friends ten or fifteen years later and so it has been amazing to see that. >> rose: you start business insider and where is it today? >> today? > how has i evolved. >> we started three people in the loading dock of another publisher we started publishing the first day and first day 2000 readers came to the site and overjoyed and it sort of ginled down to 1,300 and said we are in trouble but then it began to climb and now we have 35 million people a month who are reading the content, including lots of very, very loyal users coming every day, with stress 150 peo

so in a way spitzer wound up writing more than he could chew. if we could flip back to the contrition versus combative as no should. for weiner, weiner definitely try to present himself as having a tall and, definitely been contrite and having gotten past the scandal that forced him to resign from congress to begin with. he sort of made it seem like it was all in his past. he did this glowing interview with his wife that appeared to the new york "time" magazine that he turned over a new leaf. of course, that turned out not to be about the case in the contrition routine will totally fail if you are a recidivist. weiner wound up looking like a junkie who kept promise and he had quit only two actually still be getting high. once voters started to realize that come he absolutely created the polls and wound up finishing in fifth place behind a candidate whose campaign finance director had been indicted for campaign ran its fraud. he wound up a total failure. spitzer was right in the middle on this chart. i think that's system quite well. spitzer did

not ten cents eliot spitzer was a disaster as the a.g. and he was obviously turned out to be a disaster as governor. but you may have a whole imprinting rainer thing where he's a pervert there's no question that you know he's a pervert i mean with wit is a crude word we well know he really is i mean he's a sick person now here's a guy that they call them and he goes and the public sort of for a gave enough that he was actually leading in a poll and close another poster right and i couldn't believe it and then he did it again he did the whole thing again. the tweeting or whatever the hell he was doing and i said can you believe it and then he went down like a rocket ship ok so but he's a sick person and a guy like he'll always do it and i can only give his wife a little bit of advice get out of their finances because it's not going to change you know these perverts when you're that way it doesn't change right to speak up the couple of other quick things avoid what i didn't like it much anyways aboard the old post office yes one of my favor

compare it to a sex scandal you are judging the character of someone like anthony wiener or elliot spitzer using taxpayer dollars in question with each of those situations, seeking political revenge, summary quarters, gets things done. where do you come down on all of this? >> there is a line between being a tough guy and in the national stage, a brash tough-talking, and the reason this scandal resonates so loudly, at those so loudly beyond the borders of the garden state is because chris christie has a history in trenton, local reporters know this very well loved playing the game very hard and it is kind of hard, that this didn't happen yesterday. it happened in september. chris christie has mocked the press corps for making too much of it, chris christie didn't know about this, was totally blind sided, and the newspaper reported on those e-mails showing how much fun is aides were having in creating this traffic chaos so this is a problem that goes to the heart of his political identity. lori: what about other christie's supporters to compare this to weigh the obama administration is hand

especially in a tri-state area when prosecutors become politicians, eliot spitzer, rudy giuliani, that'stion that gets thrown around. sometimes it is dead-on accurate. sometimes it is just political opponents trying to find the negative spin on a core tribute that seems to be broadly popular. chris christie gives broadly popular new jersey. this is what his opponents have been gripe being. you have a very urgent smoking gun and national media attention and that's why this is such a pivotal moment in the christie administration. >> you know, dana bash brought up something interesting. she said that republicans weren't so into chris christie anyway, it wasn't because of his bullying, it was because of his politics. maybe we are jumping the gun of thinking christie would win the presidency in 2016 anyway. >> that's what i have been saying. look, i keep reading in the press that chris christie is the front-runner for the republican nomination. no, there is no front-runner. there is not a single one of the approximately eight potential candidates that even has 20% of the republican vote in th

it would be weiner and spitzer in this city. there was a moment. >> that happened. yep.ed. >> i say this with humility. i've spoke on the people around bill de blasio and i don't think he fully understood how important his campaign was as it moved forward. but he did have this very coherent, important message about tackling inequality and rebuilding a city for all pre-k, universal, is his signature policy. he will need to move. the good thing about bill de blasio is he comes out of a politics of community organizations, of mobilizations in this city that were under the radar for daek aides in bloomberg's new york. so i think the one thing i would say, melissa, going forward, being careful about using the word populist, progressive, but i also say we should never say that tapping inequality is a right or left issue. it is about right and wrong. >> so i love sort of the language you have laid out here around bill de blasio and the kind of excitement in this moment. marc, i have to say one of the joys that i have about living not in new york, living in new orleans, is, you

jonathan, you encouraged us to think about the weiner covers and the spitzer covers, as emblemattic,ewered. >> yes, for their actions not their ideas. >> yeah, exactly. that's a very good point. when i alerted you to those headlines, i was thinking of those headlines in relation to the wendy davis story and the sexism -- the sexism angle there and whether this was -- the treatment of wendy davis was unfair. with hillary clinton, we've been going through this now since 1990, '91. >> right, i know, a lot. >> since bill clinton said he wanted to run for president. you know, while i think hillary land is cognizant and very concerned about the way she's portrayed and whether there's a sexist tinge -- >> hillary planet. >> yes, i'm sorry, hillary planet. >> yeah, planet instead of land, yeah, exactly. i think they've been in the big leagues for so long, that "new york times" magazine cover will not concern them one bit. >> let me tell you. let's talk about tough women. hillary clinton, there is nobody tougher in politics. i covered her campaign in 2008. she's incredibly tough, driven, smar
