Wrong Analyst for CNN Story on Spitzer { Kendall Coffey }
AP vis SFGate ^ | 3/11/8 | DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer

NEW YORK, (AP) -- CNN said it shouldn't have used a former U.S. attorney who quit his job after allegedly biting a stripper as an analyst about New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's prostitution scandal.

No mention of Kendall Coffey's past was made when anchor Tony Harris interviewed him Tuesday on the legal questions surrounding Spitzer's case. Coffey quit his job in May 1996 after being accused of biting a topless dancer on the arm during a visit to an adult club after losing a big drug case.

Coffey talked on CNN about what kind of charges the New York governor could face. Spitzer is accused of having a high-priced call girl visit his hotel room during a visit to Washington last month.

ROFL. Could have used Marv Albert. Maybe Kobe Bryant. Eddie Murphy. Hugh Grant. Dick Morris. Barney Frank

Coffey has been a guest on CNN in the past but was probably not the right one for this story

I actually don't see why they thought so. If CNN thought this guy a law 'expert', they should ask him. The fact that he has story with adult entertainment even strengthens his credentials.

Guess it could be said they have a certain expertise on the topic.
