Colbert Grills Spitzer Over His Political Ambitions

Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer continued to make his way around the media circuit Thursday as he mounts a campaign for New York City Comptroller.

Spitzer sat down with late-night comedy show host Stephen Colbert, who grilled the former governor about why people should trust him after it was revealed he was a regular client of an escort agency.

The prostitution scandal forced Spitzer to resign as New York governor in 2008.

"Shouldn't the job of comptroller go to someone who has shown a modicum of self-comptrol?" Colbert asked Spitzer. "Why should the people trust you?"
