Syracuse, N.Y. -- Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer will speak at Syracuse University next week on the financial crisis.

Spitzer's talk, "From Libertarianism to Angry Populism: Have We Learned Anything From the Crisis of the Past Two Years?" will begin at 5 p.m. Thursday in the Maxwell School auditorium.

Spitzer resigned in March 2008, after barely more than a year in office, amid accusations he patronized a prostitute.

The talk is free and open to the public.

This is the state of public education, the last bastion of forgiveness for the decietful and despicable progressive populists who never had a soul to begin with. Bet wall streets laughing

Just googled and I must ask how it gets worse than NYers fully knowing his appetite for coke and being a swinger? We all saw the movie Ray.

As a Syracuse grad, I concur. The lefties on the hill will be in ‘full teenage girl mode at a Jonas Brothers concert’ in worshiping yet another ‘progressive’ politician. I love my Orange but the loons running the university are a joke.

Amen. I am an SU Orangemen grad too. Whoops! I used the pre-PC term.

Sorry. ORANGE.

I had lunch with a retired SU professor over Christmas. He was a real professor - not "McStudies." He confirmed that the liberals are running Syracuse into the ground with their PC garbage. However, that makes them just like almost every other college or university out there.

I was an engineering major. My alumni magazine from the LC College of Engineering at Syracuse is now a joke. It is "green" this and "diversity" that.

Even engineering has been taken over by the liberals.

re: “amid accusations he patronized a prostitute”

ROFL. I think it went beyond mere “accusations” since the scumbag resigned and issued a tearful public apology

I realize that media have to use all their “allegedly” terms for legal reasons when someone has not been convicted of a certain crime, but in this case I think the perp publicly confessed (although maybe his exact words left some weasel room - I don’t feel like looking them up)

FOTFLOL!!!!

I've seen teenage girls swooning over the Jonas brothers. What a picture, and I think you have it right there.

Wanna bet it was written by a journalism major?

Other than his usual tax, spend, and "let's do it for the children" policies I can't imagine what it might be.

This article is just like the one about Pelosi speaking at Cornell. Very short and abrupt, like it was written because someone HAD to cover it because they had a job to do, but didn’t put in any more than was absolutely necessary.

The comments at the end of the article in the Post-Standard aren’t any better than the ones about Pelosi either.

While the leadership at SU may be liberal, it’s nice to know that the rest of CNY hasn’t really gone that way yet.

Sorry about Ithaca.....

Weird thing about Cornell is, I know a couple profs down there and they are anything BUT liberal.
